作者点评:欧美人所理解之天堂世界观
Cultures have risen and fallen in the course of history. Christianity is an old religion. Its doctrine is falling behind obviously. When the Enlightenment gathered strength,it was increasingly felt that the concept of God was irrelevant to the pursuit of science. Before the knowledge of science is widely circulated, people even can not understand the natural phenomenon. Religion becomes the explanation of the phenomenon. Under the pressure of feudalism and poor life substrate people want to get freedom, happiness. But their ability is limited by various element, they can not change the reality. So they put their hope on other fields like heaven.
Nowadays the goal become control over the material universe,and ultimately over humanity itself. Particularly in the 20th century, Science and technology are dominant forces in Western culture. Technology is simply the practical application of scientific discovery to the management of nature environment. It is noteworthy that the scientific revolution did not begin under the pursuit of the truth. Many of the early scientists were ardent Christians and pursued their scientific studies with the thought of thinking God’s thoughts. Even in modern time so many scientists have their religion. It is normal for science can not explain everything. So they turn back to religion for the answer. Though occidentals have controlled powerful energy in physic, chemistry, and biology, they still don’t know the essence of it. Artificial theory can not replace the nature rule. But it is not to say that religion can replace the nature rule. The religion maintains the balance between unknown field and ignorance of people. It makes some positive effect and show the power. It gives occidental the guide on morals so that prevent them from lost their way of investigating.
In fact occidentals make religion and modern technique into a whole system of culture. They use technique as a tool that can overcome difficulties. Religion then becomes the moral standard.
