愛因斯坦是傾向於自然神論的,他受斯賓諾莎的影響很大。他也是相信決定論的。對於量子力學的統計解釋,他尚不能接受,更何況一個有人格,有自由意誌的神。但是僅僅有科學的世界是不完整的世界,科學所關心的世界是可測試的(Testability and Falsifiability),但是科學所揭示的世界卻是個沒有自由意誌,也就沒有主觀的,隻有客觀的世界。因為觀察者沒有自由意誌,他也不能主動的去觀察和解釋世界,科學也無從發生。
因此我覺得,science alone, is not self-sufficient and self-sustained.近幾個世紀以來,由於科學的飛速發展,人們過度的盲目樂觀,漸漸忽略了科學的局限性。正如哥德爾證明了任何複雜到可以表述自然數的公理體係都不可能既是完備的又不自相矛盾,從而讓人們意識到邏輯的局限性,今天,人們也漸漸意識到自然科學的局限性。
Yes,there are so many reasons for poeple to go to churches.That is a good thing because if you never go to church you may never have a chance to know the truth.
One of the reasons that people go to church is because of loneliness... the desire to be with people, to hang around with your own folks.... that's why people back home in China don't want to or need to go to church, they are not alone... always with someone, which brings another issue of not having space in China, physically and mentally....which is annoying as well

religion may help certain people or even society at times. however, it is unavoidable that it will be used by certain people or a group of people to do evil things. happens all the time. so who knows the overall effect is positive or negative.
回複JJ\'smom的評論:
我盡量做到用詞客觀,所以有用詞不妥之處,歡迎批評指正。
“迷信”,我查了字典,在字典上有這樣的解釋:“泛指盲目的信仰崇拜”。
以愛因斯坦的觀點“沒有科學的宗教是盲目的”,那也就是“迷信”了。
很多華人到了國外,因為社會環境的變化,內心的不安,希望融入主流社會,需要精神物質上的幫助而信教,這可以理解但並不值得宣揚,因為用愛因斯坦的話來說就是:“we are a sorry lot indeed.”。(這裏愛因斯坦把自己也包括在內也說明了他的社會責任感。)
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.(Albert Einstein)
人(們)如果做好人是僅僅因為懼怕懲罰和希望回報,那人(類)真是很糟糕。(Translated by follow@the-way.us)
he religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)
未來的宗教,會是宇宙宗教。它應當超越人格化的上帝,避免教條和神學。它要涵蓋“天(自然)、神(精神)”兩儀,應當基於一種來自對萬物“天(自然)、神(精神)”一體的感受而產生宗教意識。佛教回應了這一描述,因此,如果有什麽宗教能夠應對現代科學的話,可能就是佛教。 (Translated by 虛度)
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
沒有宗教的科學是跛足的;沒有科學的宗教是盲目的。(Translated by 虛度)
(愛因斯坦對他所說的宗教有一點解釋:“首先我將不問宗教是什麽,而寧願問用什麽可以刻劃一個使我認為篤信宗教的人的抱負:在我看來,一個受到宗教啟發的人已經在最大限度內把他自己從自私的欲望的桎梏中解放出來,而全神貫注於那些具有超個人的價值而為他所堅持的思想、感情和抱負之中。……”由此,或許可以把愛因斯坦所說的宗教理解成(具有一定規範的)“為某種精神價值取向而投入、甚至獻身的崇高精神和活動。”可以想象,對於“某種精神價值取向”,在缺乏科學的情況下,往往是盲目的,具有強烈的“迷信”色彩;而在科學的道路上,如果沒有“為某種精神價值取向而投入、甚至獻身的崇高精神” ,那還不是“跛足的”的嗎?)
