Science and the Bible, January 27
我们回天家-第28章
“我立大地根基的时候,你在哪里呢?”(伯38:4){HB42.1}[1]
我们回天家-第28章
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?—Job 38:4.{HB 42.1}[1]
我们回天家-第28章
大自然的课本和圣经既带有同一位大师的印记,其中所说的话就必然是和谐的。它们用不同的方法和不同的言语见证同样伟大的真理。科学的发明日新月异;但科学研究的成果若予以正确地理解,就决不会与上帝的启示矛盾。大自然和圣经是彼此解释的。它们将上帝工作的规律告诉我们,使我们认识祂。{HB42.2}[2]
我们回天家-第28章
Since the book of nature and the book of revelation bear the impress of the same master mind, they cannot but speak in harmony. By different methods, and in different languages, they witness to the same great truths. Science is ever discovering new wonders; but she brings from her research nothing that, rightly understood, conflicts with divine revelation. The book of nature and the written word shed light upon each other. They make us acquainted with God by teaching us something of the laws through which He works.{HB 42.2}[2]

然而通过观察自然现象而得出的错误推论,却使人以为科学和启示是矛盾的。为了重新协调起来,有人就采用了中伤和损毁上帝圣言力量的圣经解释。人们以为如果按字面解释摩西的创造记录,就与地质学相冲突。他们宣称地球从浑沌的状态中进化,需要几百万年的时间。为了使圣经与这种所谓的科学发现相适应,人们就把创造的时日设定为要经过漫无边际的时期,包括几千年甚至几百万年的时间。{HB42.3}[3]
我们回天家-第28章
Inferences erroneously drawn from facts observed in nature have, however, led to supposed conflict between science and revelation; and in the effort to restore harmony, interpretations of Scripture have been adopted that undermine and destroy the force of the word of God. Geology has been thought to contradict the literal interpretation of the Mosaic record of the creation. Millions of years, it is claimed, were required for the evolution of the earth from chaos; and in order to accommodate the Bible to this supposed revelation of science, the days of creation are assumed to have been vast, indefinite periods, covering thousands or even millions of years.{HB 42.3}[3]

这种结论是完全不必要的。圣经的记录与它自身以及大自然的教训是相符合的。论到第一日的创造工作,圣经记载说:“有晚上,有早晨,这是头一日”(创1:5)。关于最初六天的创造工作,实际上都有同样的记录。圣经说这些日子的每一天,都有晚上,有早晨,正如后来一切的日子一样。论到创造的工作本身,神圣的见证是:“祂说有,就有;命立,就立”(诗33:9)。祂既这样创造了无数星球,欲使地球从浑沌状态进化,需要用多少时间呢?为了解释祂的作为,我们难道就必须破坏祂的圣言吗?……{HB42.4}[4]
我们回天家-第28章
Such a conclusion is wholly uncalled for. The Bible record is in harmony with itself and with the teaching of nature. Of the first day employed in the work of creation is given the record, “The evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis 1:5.) And the same in substance is said of each of the first six days of creation week. Each of these periods Inspiration declares to have been a day consisting of evening and morning, like every other day since that time. In regard to the work of creation itself the divine testimony is, “He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33:9.) With Him who could thus call into existence unnumbered worlds, how long a time would be required for the evolution of the earth from chaos? In order to account for His works, must we do violence to His word? . . .{HB 42.4}[4]

惟有藉着在太初“运行在水面上”的圣灵,藉着“万物是藉着祂造的”道,以及“照亮一切生在世上的人”的真光,才能正确地解释科学的见证。(《教育论》128,129,?134页){HB42.5}[5]
我们回天家-第28章
Only by the aid of that Spirit who in the beginning “was brooding upon the face of the waters;” of that Word by whom “all things were made;” of that “true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” can the testimony of science be rightly interpreted.—Education, 128, 129,134.{HB 42.5}[5]
