自然科学与基督教的关系探讨——以自然科学的起源和前沿为视角

文章首先通过分析自然科学与基督教方法论发展上的相似,来说明近代自然科学在本源上与基督教的紧密联系,论证了近代自然科学在基督教欧洲发生的必然性.其次通过阐述当代自然科学一些前沿问题的研究进展来证明自然科学和基督教世界观的内在一致性.最后试图以基督教和近代自然科学的关系为先导,提出一些具有现实价值的、值得各领域一起合作探索的问题.同时也希望本文能够纠正一些长久以来存在于人们脑海中由于特定宗教、文化和意识形态下以偏概全的观念.

Natural Science: Its Origin, Latest Development and Relationship with Christianity

This paper first analyzes the similarities between natural science and Christianity in their development of methodology,so as to illustrate how closely the genesis of modern natural science was related to Christianity,and thereby illuminate the necessary birth of the former in the Christian Europe.Secondly,the paper tries to prove the internally consistent world views shared by natural science and Christianity through some latest achievements made in contemporary natural science.And finally,based on the relationship between Christianity and modern science,it attempts to raise some questions of realistic value and of interdisciplinary and collaborated exploration.Meanwhile,we wish to rectify some biased concepts that have persisted long due to religious,cultural and ideological traditions.
