Listening to Nobel Laureate Christian René De Duve (中文翻譯見後)
聆聽諾貝爾獎得主 勒內·德迪夫
 
Christian René, viscount De Duve is a 1974 Nobel laureate, honored for his discovery of subcellular organelles. He came to give a talk at the school when I was a graduate student working on my thesis. I came on time and I thought it might have plenty of seats as it held in a large auditorium. I got off guard by surprise to see the auditorium was packed with audience! An usher led a group of us to seat on the floor in the front section. I was quite close to the podium.
   
My mentor, a cell biologist, told me that Dr. de Duve earned his Nobel Prize for his work on subcellular biochemistry and cell biology: He discovered peroxisomes and lysosomes, cell organelles.
 
I have seen his picture in the textbook “Molecular cell biology” edited by Harvey Lodish. We have to pay respect to the teacher-student team: Teacher (Albert Claude) and students (Christian René De Duve, George E. Palade) for describing the structure and function of organelles (lysosomes and peroxisomes), groundbreaking work in biological cells. All three of the teacher-student team was awarded the shared Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974.
 
He created quite an impression with his no-slide, one-hour speech on evolution, the origins of consciousness, the development of language, the birth of science, and the origin of emotion, morality, altruism, and love. His comment on the necessity for change in terms of human behavior: Our generation has made a mess - it is up to all the people to make life better on earth. He conjectured on the future of humanity--for instance, we might evolve, perhaps via genetic engineering, into a new species, a science fiction sounded in my mind. He talked about his personal thoughts about God and immortality, which was quite a puzzle to me, an atheist at the time. He received a standing ovation in the end.
 
However, it was with a quite long period of silence afterwards.
 
Then, he asked the audience, “any questions?”

Nobody asked and it was quiet for all the audience.
 
 “Any questions?” He asked again with a slightly enthusiastic tone in his voice.
 
The moment of silence extended and it sounded the time stopped and the air was frozen. You could hear the sound of a golden ring dropped in a marble floor.
 
“In quietness and confidence is my strength. You ask, I got all the answers!” He said with a broader smile and raised his voice.
 
Finally, the Dean broke the ice of silence by asking the first question about the evolution of humans.
 
Our departmental chairperson followed up with asking about what policy we should have to avoid human genetic engineering into new species like evils.
 
On the way back to my lab, thinking about all missing experiment steps, I was quite disappointed for not hearing his insights into cell biology, which was what I came for his seminar.
 
Only years later did I realize he shed a new light on my everlasting question: Why do outstanding scientists turn out to be nonatheist on creation and evolution?
I have been surprised to see that, contrary to the claims of the new atheists, most scientists do not necessarily see religion and science as always being in conflict. I also realized that beneath the philosophizing, de Duve delineates biology excellently and authoritatively, introducing it with wonder and curiosity that are bound to inspire the next generation of scientists.

聆聽諾貝爾獎得主 勒內·德迪夫
德迪夫是1974年諾貝爾獎得主,表彰他發現了亞細胞器。他來到學校的時候,我是一個研究生。我想這可能有足夠的座位,因為它在一個大禮堂舉行。我猝不及防的驚地看到,禮堂裏擠滿了觀眾!一個人帶領我們一群人在前部地板上座。我是相當接近講台。
我的導師(細胞生物學家)告訴我,德迪夫博士贏得了他的諾貝爾獎,他的工作對細胞內的生物化學和細胞生物學,他發現過氧化物酶體和溶酶體,細胞器。
我已經看到了他的照片教科書“分子細胞生物學”主編哈維·洛迪什。我們必須要尊敬老師和學生團隊:老師(阿爾伯特克勞德)和學生(基督教勒內·德迪夫,喬治E.帕拉德)描述的細胞器(溶酶體和過氧化物酶體),開創性的工作在生物細胞的結構和功能。該師生團隊被評為共享1974年諾貝爾生理學或醫學獎。
 
他創造了相當的印象,他無幻燈片,一小時的演講:進化,意識的起源,語言的發展,科學的誕生,情感,道德,利他主義和愛的起源。他改變人的行為的必要性的評論:我們這一代人已經把事情搞得一團糟 - 這是所有的人,讓生活更美好地球上的。他推測,人類的未來 - 例如,我們可能會進化,也許可以通過基因工程,到一個新的物種,科幻小說在我的腦海裏響起。他談到了他個人的想法,上帝和永生,這是相當長給我的一個謎的時候,一個無神論者。他獲得了全場起立鼓掌中結束。
 
然而,掌中結束後是相當長的沉默。
 
然後,他問觀眾,“有什麽問題嗎?”
 
沒人問,所有的觀眾是安靜的。
 
 “有問題嗎?”他又問了一遍他的聲音稍微熱情的色調。
 
片刻的沉默拓展,響起的時候停了下來,空氣中凍結。你可以聽到一個金戒指下降的大理石地板的聲音。
 
“平靜和信心,是我的強項。你問,我有所有的答案!“他說,與更廣泛的微笑,並提高了嗓門。
 
最後,院長的沉默,打破了僵局,問的第一個問題關於人類的進化。
 
我們的部門主席問,我們應該有什麽樣的政策,以避免人類基因工程進入一個新的物種。
 
在回我的實驗室的路上,為所有丟失的實驗步驟,我很失望:這是我來到他的研討會,沒有聽到他細胞生物學的見解。
 
多年後,我才意識到他在我永恒的問題流下了新的光:為什麽傑出的科學家變成nonatheist呢?
 
我一直驚訝地看到新的無神論者的主張,相反,大多數科學家並不一定會看到宗教和科學看作始終處於衝突。我也意識到德迪夫的哲思,描繪生物學出色和權威性,必將激勵下一代科學家的好奇心和求知欲。
