This lord is very scientific.
Chapter 571 Science and Superstition
The pursuit of truth is a long, magnificent and arduous journey.
In Lin Ke's previous life, how many brilliant scientists were involved in it?
Well-known Descartes, Maxwell, Zu Chongzhi, Newton, Faraday, Einstein, Yang Zhenning, etc.
There are countless great men who stand at the peak of wisdom and knowledge, and uncover the truth contained in the universe bit by bit, bit by bit, inch by inch.
Just like Yugong moving the mountain, digging a handful of soil from the peak, one day you can move the mountain.
However, in the previous life, even if it is a scientific career that can be called a miracle and a great cause, you dare not say that you have mastered one ten-thousandth or one hundred-thousandth of the truth of the universe.
You know, many myths and legends such as "reaching the moon in the sky and catching turtles in the five oceans", "traveling thousands of miles in an instant", "Jingwei filling the sea, Yugong moving the mountain" and so on are not fantasies.
And what achieved these was not one or two people who believed in fate, luck and feng shui, nor did they pray to gods and Buddhas one by one, but was created by countless scientists, countless scientific and technical personnel, and countless people.
At least the so-called "gods" in the previous life did not grasp the truth.
Of course, even the level of technology in the previous life was far from the truth.
Before truly mastering all knowledge and truly exploring the entire universe and its mysteries, no one dared to say that they had mastered the truth.
As long as there are doubts, there are directions to explore.
From this point of view, whether it is the previous life or the present, it is the same for Lin Ke.
It is far away from the truth.
If the truth is an ocean, then it is meaningless to worry about whether it was a bowl of water in the previous life and half a bowl of water now.
Therefore, Auf's speech not only inspired others, but also inspired Lin Ke.
At least Lin Ke has become more determined on his scientific path.
Whether it is materialistic science or idealistic science, whether it is philosophy, liberal arts, art, or science and engineering application, it is all part of science.
Use science to lead the prosperity of the wilderness, Nasengge, and even the universe called "Star Realm"!
Why not metaphysics?
Because no matter in the past life or this life, Lin Ke is told that the so-called metaphysics and superstition are all deceptive things.
For example, in the past life.
Some people are particularly superstitious about fortune-telling, saying that they have been told by fortune-tellers that they will be rich and noble at the age of 40 or 50, and that there will be a hurdle at the age of 20, and everything will be smooth sailing after it passes. These are all rhetoric and routines.
Lin Ke sneered at them.
What is rich and noble? What is a hurdle?
Is 50,000 yuan rich and noble? For the poor who are penniless, it is indeed, but what about the richest man?
Is falling down a hurdle? Or is it a hurdle to be affected by a gunfight? Or is it a hurdle to be in love?
Anyone with a normal mind will know that these are all ambiguous words, and they are absolutely deceptive.
What is real fortune-telling? That should be a strong man like [astrologer] Debius that Lin Ke met in Naseng, who cut out a small part from some fragments of the past or the future and then showed it to the person concerned.
In other words, the so-called fortune-telling is to tell me what happened to me in what place and with what people on what year, month and day in the AD. This is a hurdle and should be taken seriously.
This is fortune-telling.
Otherwise, you say that I will be rich and powerful at the age of 30, and I will live at home from now on, not studying, not working, not making progress, and eating, drinking and having fun all day long.
If this state, on the day of the 30th birthday, I suddenly get an official robe inexplicably, with a huge fortune and endless wealth.
In this case, this kind of metaphysics and superstition is very desirable.
Lin Ke hated those superstitions in his previous life.
Others studied hard for ten years, did countless sets of papers, and wrote countless exercises, but in the end, they were told by others that "this person is destined" and "it should be like this", and attributed all their efforts to "fate". Isn't it ridiculous?
Lin Ke will of course still fight against superstitious behavior in this life.
Fortunately, the sects in this life are not just deceiving people like the previous life. At least the gods will receive the prayers of the believers, and the gods will also deal with those prayers.
Fortunately, Nasengge does not have the saying of "one fate, two luck, three feng shui". The so-called fate and luck, converted into science, are roughly equivalent to probability.
What Lin Ke has to do is to gradually return all superstitions to science.
When people no longer believe in superstition and no longer think that burning incense and worshiping Buddha can make up for others' hard study, people's subjective initiative can be fully exerted.
Have difficulties? I think about it myself and solve it myself!
Instead of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, and then lying at home with peace of mind waiting for gods and Buddhas to help you solve it.
In this way, the difficulties of Dahuang City will not be thrown to those gods, right?
As for science...
Why did Lin Ke believe in science instead of superstition and metaphysics in his previous life?
At least in Lin Ke's previous life, it was proved that to solve a math problem, you can't rely on worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva, but rely on deduction and calculation.
To make a mobile phone, you can't kneel down and worship Wenquxing or some gods, bodhisattvas or Buddhas, but rely on chips, buttons, storage, batteries, etc., that is, industry and technology.
The car you ride, the plane you drive, the TV you watch, the mobile phone you use, the massage chair you use, the medicine you take when you are sick, the surgical instruments, etc.
Nothing is made by you kneeling there and burning incense, and then a mysterious force gathers in the air to form a mobile phone, a car, etc.
In ancient times, superstition told you that if Lei Gong and Dian Mu thundered in the sky, you had to burn incense and worship them, otherwise you would be struck to death; if the Dragon King made clouds and rain, you had to burn incense and worship them, otherwise the land would dry up and the world would suffer from drought...
As time went by, people knew that there was no heaven above the clouds, especially after historical research, they knew that the heaven was just a beautiful fantasy of the people about the sky, and even the prototype of the Jade Emperor could be found out.
However, new superstitions have emerged.
Superstition tells people that marriage needs to be tied with a red string in the temple, rather than relying on sincerity and sincerity; to take the top scholar exam, you need to worship Wenquxing, rather than talent and hard work; to have a good harvest, you need to worship the land and the Dragon King, rather than hard work and scientific planting and breeding; to make money, you need to worship the God of Wealth, rather than knowledge, skills and judging the situation...
There are even superstitions that tell you that your personality comes from your zodiac sign!
In short, thinking ability, logic, judgment, insight, and sharpness are the elements that constitute science.
It is not to believe everything you hear, nor is it the kind of "blame-shifting", that is, to blame "fate" and "luck" for not getting promoted or getting rich, or to blame "fate" and "luck" for not being the top scorer in high school.
Some people even turn a blind eye to personality, environment, family conditions, educational background, ideals, economic concepts, life values and other factors, and blame the zodiac for the incompatibility between two people.
It's really off the mark.
In short, Lin Ke believes that science is not a fixed doctrine like Confucianism and Taoism, but a method of judgment, a combination of multiple thinking powers.
You use the correct logic to deduce, verify, and observe a result. Even if this result proves that there are really Lei Gong and Dian Mu in the sky, and after careful logical research, it is found that worshiping them can avoid being struck by lightning, then this process and result are scientific, not superstitious. After everyone has verified the authenticity, they can go to worship.
But if you are directly guessing that there is no Leigong and Dianmu in the sky, but imagine that there are countless small balls in the sky that are rubbing against each other and thus lightning is generated, and then you spread it without verification, and then tell everyone that there is no need to worship, and the electricity generated by those small balls will not strike you for no reason, then this kind of nonsense without logic and thinking is superstitious, not scientific.
Science is a tool of wisdom and thinking.
It is not Newton's law, not Einstein's theory, not Confucianism, not Yin and Yang, nor is it the physics, chemistry and biology that Lin Ke has studied.
It is just a tool to help people observe the world and express it concretely.
That's all.
Of course, Lin Ke believes that in this life, there will be fewer superstitious people, and fewer people who say "some things you have to believe" and "it's better to believe a little than not believe".
At least among the people Lin Ke knows, most of them have certain logical ability and thinking ability.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke smiled, and his inner positioning and understanding of science as a tool and truth as the end goal became clearer.
He also looked at his teacher Aofu very happily, happy that his teacher could find the ideal and belief to fight for his whole life.
However, at this moment, the speeches of the first and second debaters ended, which also meant that the other debaters began to play.
This debate was not the short and refined debate of the previous life. After all, the Naseng professionals were more energetic and could maintain a longer debate.
And for Naseng, it seemed unnecessary to stipulate the proposition.
At least before there was a controversial topic, there was no need to debate for the sake of debate.
Therefore, the round system was adopted.
Each round has different rules.
For example, in the first round, the main debaters of both sides stated the topic and stated their own doctrines, concepts, ideas, experiments, etc.
Then in the second round, the debaters on both sides could point out the shortcomings, deficiencies, inappropriateness and unreasonableness in each other's topic. The more they pointed out, the more points they would get.
In the third round, the debaters on both sides respond to the points just pointed out one by one. If the rebuttal is logical and reasonable, then there will be no deduction of points, but points will be added, and even the other side's points will be deducted, and vice versa.
In the fourth round, the final debaters of both sides summarize their speeches this time, including what shortcomings the other side has raised, what their side has responded and refuted, and what points the other side did not answer when answering their questions.
After four rounds, the judges will show their own points added and deducted for this debate, for reference only.
After all, everyone may have different ideas about many shortcomings or rebuttals.
The win or loss of the debate is not important, what is important is the thinking and perception stimulated in the process.
Therefore, the final winner of the debate will not be announced, and the audience will naturally have their own opinions on the winner of this debate.
Of course, the most important thing is to gain something from this debate.
