回復 #1 paullian 的帖子
其實這是一個很有意思的話題, 也能談很長.應版主要求, 只能用中文, 所以長話短說:
1. The Catholic Church has always taught that "no real disagreement can exist between the theologian and the scientist provided each keeps within his own limits. . . . If nevertheless there is a disagreement . . . it should be remembered that the sacred writers, or more truly 『the Spirit of God who spoke through them, did not wish to teach men such truths (as the inner structure of visible objects) which do not help anyone to salvation』; and that, for this reason, rather than trying to provide a scientific exposition of nature, they sometimes describe and treat these matters either in a somewhat figurative language or as the common manner of speech those times required, and indeed still requires nowadays in everyday life, even amongst most learned people" (Leo XIII, Providentissimus Deus 18)."
天主教會一直的教導是:"神學家與科學家只要是在各自的範圍內工作, 是不存在不可調和的矛盾的. 如果有矛盾產生, 應該記住的一點是, 聖經的作者或者是通過這些作者給我們啟示的神聖他本身,並不著重在給我們講述諸如物體的內部構造這樣的事實,因為這並無助於幫人來到救恩前. 所以, 他們有時在描述這樣的事情時, 是通過一種比喻的方式, 不是期望提供一種科學的解釋.
As the Catechism puts it, "Methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things the of the faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are" (CCC 159). The Catholic Church has no fear of science or scientific discovery.
天主教教理這樣說:"所有的科學研究只要是以真正的科學方法進行, 不與道德律相違背,是不會與我們的信仰衝突的.因為這個物資的世界和我們的信仰都來自於同一天主.謙虛和持之以恆的自然探索者曾經是,現在也是在天主的帶領下進行,(因為我們相信)是天主賜予了他們這樣的(品質和智慧).(CCC159). 天主教會沒有對科學和科學發現的恐懼.
