@John Dixon : 本期节目探讨了化学家群体中存在较高比例的信神者这一现象,并采访了两位顶尖化学家来解释这一现象。我们质疑了现代科学家都是无神论者的刻板印象,并指出许多化学家相信科学与神学并不矛盾。 @Peter Emming : 我是一名基督徒化学家,从事药物化学研究,致力于寻找对细菌有毒但对人体细胞无毒的化学物质。我认为化学是一门充满乐趣的学科,它像一门语言一样,可以用来理解世界。我的信仰并没有阻碍我的科学研究,反而为我的工作提供了坚实的基础和人生目标。 @Cy Garter : 生物化学研究揭示了生命自我复制的复杂机制,这挑战了纯粹的自然主义进化论观点,并指向了创造者的存在。科学研究本身并不能解答所有问题,我们需要超越科学的视角来理解生命的起源和意义。 Peter Emming: 我在25岁时成为基督徒,这与我对科学的理解并不冲突。事实上,科学研究让我更加确信宇宙存在一个设计者和创造者。科学揭示了自然界的秩序和规律,而这些秩序和规律本身就指向了创造者的存在。 Cy Garter: 我曾经是一位坚定的无神论者,但后来我发现科学并不能解答所有问题,尤其是在生命的起源和意义方面。我开始相信存在一位创造者,并且我的信仰与我的科学研究并不矛盾。 John Dixon: 元素周期表体现了自然界的秩序和理性,这指向了创造者的存在。许多科学家将他们的科学研究视为对创造者的敬拜,因为他们相信科学研究能够帮助我们理解创造者的智慧和创造。

Shownotes Transcript

**According to the data, chemistry is the scientific discipline with the highest number of ”theists”.
**

**Perhaps it’s not that surprising: Chemistry grew out of alchemy, a mysterious science that attempted to uncover the secrets of nature, with goals some would consider supernatural.
**

Modern chemists are also working to uncover the secrets of nature. 

For some, seeing just how ordered the world is has led them to wonder whether there might be more going on behind the scenes than mere chemistry.
