1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 508 (Happy New Year~) Man can conquer nature! God of Physics! Want to compete with God!

When the Pope proposed that there is a difference between man and God and that God does not care about anything about man, it meant that the discussion had reached the most critical moment.

Although science is the most practical and the most useful to mankind.

But to God, its pragmatism is meaningless.

God Himself represents eternal truth.

The ultimate goal of science is to find this truth.

But according to the Pope's Word, through serving God, theology will eventually ascend to heaven and get a glimpse of the full picture of the Word.

But science is not necessarily the same.

At least, according to the Pope's theory, theology is certainly easier to reach the other side of truth than science.

The Pope finally stuck to his own insistence and did not bring up the fifth level of unsolvable arguments.

Instead, we use the distance between science, philosophy, theology and the fifth level as the standard of comparison.

But this standard is problematic.

It is not like pragmatism, which is a universal standard among the three and everyone can accept this standard.

The distance standard from the fifth floor is only beneficial to theology!

Therefore, now is the final stage of the struggle for the orthodox doctrine.

The Pope's message is: God is above man!

As long as he holds on to this point firmly, his five-fold epistemology will no longer have any flaws.

He even thanked Li Qiwei in his heart.

Because without the latter, the Pope cannot complete his theory.

However, his system still has a flaw.

That is, there is no way to prove that God is superior to humans.

It is only the faith of servants of God like the Pope!

That's why Bi Wengdi and others were so excited.

Because the more sincere their hearts are, the more they can prove the correctness of the Pope's teachings.

Serve God with all your heart and bathe in the glory of the Lord.

At this moment, the Pope and the bishops below had pious and solemn expressions.

They are praying to God in their hearts.

Li Qiwei followed the local customs and did not interrupt them, waiting for them to finish the process.

Soon, Pius XI looked at Li Qiwei, chuckled and said:

"Professor Bruce, this is the path I am pursuing."

"I think this will be the last round between you and me."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Li Qiwei.

There was no more contempt and disdain in their eyes, but instead they were filled with respect for the strong.

Professor Bruce Lee's previous performance completely conquered everyone present.

This is a man who stands at the pinnacle of humanity in every aspect!

His existence is the radiance of human rationality!

A terrible thought even flashed through Bi Wengdi's mind:

“What would it be like if Bruce Lee became Pope?”

hiss!
The other party is already the best in the world in the field of science and can be regarded as the best in human wisdom.

Such a being turns to the study of theology.

Just think about how terrifying it is!
Biondi had a strong premonition that if Professor Bruce really became Pope, he would probably be like Lord Bull.

Lord Li sewed quantum mechanics and relativity into theology.

Then Catholicism will be invincible!

Of course, Bi Wengdi could only think about it in his heart.

There is no way the Catholic Church would allow a Chinese to be Pope.

They have already suffered a great loss at the hands of Hong Xiuquan.

There is a huge difference in thinking between Easterners and Westerners.

If we are not careful, Catholicism may even fall apart.

Bi Wengdi shuddered in his heart and quickly stopped the thoughts in his mind.

Like everyone else, he continued to look at Professor Bruce Lee.

Facing the Pope's final move, how will the opponent fight back?
At this moment, Li Qiwei smiled gently.

What the Pope said was exactly what he had expected.

When the other party suggests that God is superior to humans, he is no longer persuasive.

This is a little different from what philosophy studies.

In the view of philosophers, Euclid's five axioms can be abandoned or simply considered to be wrong.

They can easily find axioms of the five types of axioms and open up a new discipline.

But God being above man is not an axiom!

It is already a truth firmly established by the Pope.

Any judgment involving God must have the nature of truth.

According to the Pope's theoretical system, truth is at the fifth level, beyond philosophy and science.

Li Qiwei previously analyzed that the reason why the Pope proposed the five-level epistemology was precisely because he was bound by his identity.

As the most devout believer, the Pope must adhere to the core concept that "God is above man."

He then derives a series of his arguments from this.

The Pope's ideas are undoubtedly worthy of admiration, but his thoughts are also imprisoned by the robes he wears.

Therefore, Li Qiwei had already seen through everything about the Pope!
At this moment, there was only one answer for Li Qiwei to refute the Pope.

You say God is above man.

Do not!
I disagree!

I say man can conquer nature!

boom!
In an instant, Li Qiwei was full of momentum and looked down upon the world!
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's faces were filled with shock!

"Your Holiness, you said that God is above man, but God does not care about man."

"I object to this!"

Wow!
Everyone was shocked!

They didn't expect Professor Bruce to be so direct.

That determined look in his eyes seemed as if even the collapse of the sky could not change his determination.

Pius XI's eyes were sharp, trying to see through Li Qiwei's heart.

He was not as surprised as the cardinals.

Because he already knew that if the other party wanted to refute his theory, they would inevitably have to deny the supreme status of God.

This has happened countless times over the thousands of years of development of Christianity.

There are many wise men who even want to deny the existence of God.

They believe that human beings themselves are the masters of the world.

There is no God in this world!

Why does God stand above everyone else?

The debate over whether God exists or not is not a new topic.

What’s more, the man in front of him is Professor Bruce, who is known as the number one scientist in the world.

Pius XI murmured to himself:
"Bruce, are you also going to go down the path of opposing God in the end?"

"Sure enough, this world is boring after all!"

"At the end of the discussion, as expected, the topic turned to [whether God exists]."

"But I'm tired of this topic. I've read too many historical materials."

Pius XI suddenly felt a little bored.

He did not blame Professor Bruce, thinking that he had fallen into a cliché.

Strictly speaking, he only has himself to blame.

He could not withstand the attack of Professor Bruce and finally had to invoke the name of God.

When God appears, everything in the world pales in comparison.

However, he was already very satisfied with the content of the previous discussion.

There is almost no one in this world who can engage in such a thrilling battle of minds with him.

Just as Pope Pius XI was imagining this, Li Qiwei's next words shocked everyone.

"But it's not God I'm against!"

"On the contrary, I believe that God exists!"

"Whatever He is called, God or the Creator."

"I always believe that such a being that transcends human beings exists in itself!" Boom!
Everyone was shocked!

At this moment, everyone suddenly thought of a long-standing fact.

"Professor Bruce is the originator of creationism!"

Pope Pius XI looked shocked.

Of course he knew about the debate from more than a decade ago.

A fascinating confrontation between Professor Bruce and Darwin's son.

In the end, the former severely defeated the theory of evolution with creationism.

Shocked the academic world!

Even the religious community was extremely shocked at the time.

Many religions have extended olive branches to Professor Bruce.

However, in the view of Pope Pius XI, there were special reasons why Professor Bruce proposed creationism.

That's because Francis provoked the other party first, thinking that the other party had plagiarized his content.

Therefore, Professor Bruce instantly changed from supporting the theory of evolution to opposing it.

In the view of Pope Pius XI, although Professor Bruce proposed the theory of creation, he did not necessarily believe in the existence of God.

He knows a lot about science.

Although there are many phenomena that those crazy scientists cannot understand.

But they all think that this is because the deeper scientific principles have not been discovered.

They don't believe in God, they believe in scientific principles that don't exist!
And now, Pius XI was certain.

The man in front of me firmly believes in the existence of God!
This is completely different!
It’s such a huge thing!
Professor Bruce Lee, a great scientific leader, actually publicly believes in the existence of God!

"Oh, God!"

“This is so shocking!”

At this moment, Li Qiwei looked down upon everything and continued:

“This universe we live in is so perfect!”

"It's so perfect that even the basic physical framework can't be changed in the slightest."

"If the speed of light changed, the entire universe would be transformed."

“I know many great physicists who don’t believe in the existence of a Creator.”

“They think there’s a physics behind everything.”

"But I want to say, what is the physics behind these principles?"

"Give me a vivid example."

"Now take a radio and break it into pieces and throw it into the Atlantic Ocean."

“Let me ask you, if there is no intelligence involved, is it possible for these parts to be reassembled into a usable radio?”

"The probability is so small that it can be ignored."

"Even a small radio is like this, let alone our universe."

"Countless suns, moons, and stars are moving eternally according to certain rules."

"What force created all this?"

"I can't think of any possibility other than the existence of a creator."

"But I do not recognize a Creator with human-like features."

call!
At this moment, everyone in the room was stunned.

"Isn't Professor Bruce going to refute the Pope?"

"Why do I feel like he is speaking to the Pope now?"

"If even the Creator acknowledges it, doesn't that mean he approves the Pope's theory?"

"Professor Bruce, what are you going to do?"

Pius XI's eyes sparkled and his beard trembled.

He stared at Li Qiwei closely, waiting for the final revelation.

Ridgeway continued:
“When humans first saw lightning and heard thunder, they developed faith and carved totems.”

"They believe there are gods who control thunder and lightning."

“When humans first saw rain and felt strong winds, they believed there were gods who controlled the wind and rain.”

“Human beings live humbly on the earth.”

“Everything in nature fills them with awe.”

"They are at a loss, like ants, afraid of punishment from the gods."

"Until one day, fire appeared!"

“For the first time, humans have mastered such terrifying power with their own hands.”

"It's so hot, so warm."

"It was only with the advent of fire that humans began to gradually get rid of their primitive lifestyle of eating raw meat and drinking blood."

"Then, civilization evolved."

"But at this time, humans are still weak."

"They even believe that fire is a gift from the gods, so they use it with great care."

"I'm afraid that one day I'll displease the gods, and then I won't be able to use fire anymore."

"In our Chinese culture, different gods have a unique word to describe them, and that word is 'heaven'."

"The sky is high above us, and it regards all things as straw dogs."

“I call this period the “period of fear of heaven”.”

“Humans fear and revere God.”

"But after the birth of science, human wisdom has developed by leaps and bounds."

"We know that lightning is not a punishment unleashed by the gods, but rather a manifestation of the interaction of large amounts of electrical charges in clouds."

"We know that rain is not a blessing from the gods, but the result of water vapor condensing into liquid in the sky."

“For the first time, humans uncovered the secrets of nature, but found no trace of the gods.”

“Humans no longer fear the sky, but instead have developed endless curiosity about it.”

“It’s no longer limited to lightning and rain, but more mysteries.”

“The movement of celestial bodies, the changes of elements, and the mystery of life.”

“We want to unravel all the secrets of nature.”

"But as science develops, we admire the wonder and beauty of nature more and more."

“Because there are so many things that humans cannot explain.”

“I call this period the “period of respecting heaven”.”

"When modern physics came along, that changed again."

"We suddenly discovered that we seemed to have touched the essence of the world!"

"Electromagnetic force, gravitational force, strong force, weak force."

"We discovered that the world is made up of four fundamental interactions."

"The essence of lightning is electromagnetic force, and the essence of the movement of planets is gravity."

"The sun's light and heat come from the strong force, and the various rays in the universe come from the weak force."

“The four fundamental forces are like the origin of the universe.”

"As long as we understand the relationship between these four forces, we can even grasp the secrets of the entire universe."

“Isn’t this the realm of the Creator?”

"Your Holiness, you said that God is above man."

"However, in my opinion, sooner or later, people will be able to become gods on their own!"

"We Chinese have an old saying: Man can conquer nature!"

"The gods and immortals in Chinese culture all evolved from humans."

"They can become gods through practice or merit, when their own understanding reaches a certain level."

boom!
suddenly!

To everyone's shock, Li Qiwei stood up in an instant.

The figure of Tyrant is like a majestic existence filling the galaxy.

The sound was like thunder from the sky, resounding through people's hearts.

"Me! Bruce Lee!"

"Studying science for more than 20 years."

"He laid the foundation for the theory of relativity and quantum theory, and pioneered modern physics."

"The way of physics, I can also become a god!"

“I want to usher in an era where man can conquer nature!”

boom!
Everyone was shocked!
