Spencer Klavan: 本书探讨了科学与信仰并非对立，科学的最新发现与宗教教义日益契合，甚至量子力学也暗示了人类是现实的共同创造者，这与圣经中人类是上帝形象的描述相符。他批评了将科学与宗教对立的错误观念，认为这种观念阻碍了人们对真理的追求，并导致了唯物主义的极端。他还批判了将牛顿物理学误读为否定上帝存在的观点，以及拉普拉斯关于人类能够通过方程了解过去、现在和未来的错误预言。他认为，科学发展需要信仰作为支撑，而对量子力学的解读也支持了这种观点。他认为，一部分宗教人士拒绝科学，认为圣经是字面意义上的真理，这是一种无效的回应方式。他以爱因斯坦和司布真为例，说明了人们对圣经和科学的不同态度，并指出，圣经中包含着超越物质世界的丰富内涵。他还探讨了雅典和耶路撒冷两种文明传统的差异，认为两者相互依存，耶路撒冷的价值体系能够平衡雅典思想中的专制与自由的冲动，并指出将自由作为最高价值会导致道德相对主义。最后，他谈到了AI时代对人类的影响，认为AI的出现并非人类的终结，而是对人类独特性和价值观的重新审视。他认为，人类应回归自身独特性，而非与机器竞争，并强调了信仰在应对AI时代挑战中的重要性。 Ben Shapiro: 本次访谈围绕Klavan的新书展开，探讨了科学与信仰的关系，以及AI时代对人类的影响。他指出，大众普遍认为科学与宗教对立，而Klavan的书认为两者相容，并预言科学发现将导致宗教复兴。他与Klavan讨论了量子力学对无神论和唯物主义观点的挑战，以及圣经中信仰原则对西方文明的影响。他还探讨了雅典和耶路撒冷两种文明传统的差异，以及两者如何相互依存。他认为，耶路撒冷的价值体系能够平衡希腊思想中的专制与自由的冲动，并指出将自由作为最高价值会导致道德相对主义。他还谈到了现代政治中存在的两极分化，以及如何理解特朗普现象。他认为，特朗普是西方文明衰落的一种症状，而对特朗普现象的不同解读反映了对西方文明未来走向的不同看法。

Shownotes Transcript

Spencer Klavan is an associate editor at the Claremont Institute, host of the Young Heretics podcast, and a scholar of ancient Greece. His astute political commentary ranges from critiques of the modern Left to philosophical explorations of the ancient world. In this episode, we explore Klavan’s latest book, “Light of the Mind, Light of the World,” where he rejects the popular notion that science and religion are incompatible, and instead forecasts a future where scientific discovery leads to a religious resurgence. We also discuss the symbolic relationship between Athens and Jerusalem, as well as the religious observations of great scientists like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein.
