尋真
近日一段關於神存在與否的短片在網上流傳，片段中的小學生力證態度傲慢的老師，他否定神存在的論點站不住腳。
在短片最後，列出那小學生的名字，正是著名的理論物理學家，愛因斯坦（Albert Einstein）。
我想說的是：這短片的內容，並小學生是〔將來的〕大科學家愛因斯坦，都是杜撰的。
短片內容的論點，不論是那老師的，和那小學生的，其實在更遠古的晢學討論中，已出現過。
另外，原版短片最後，並沒有愛因斯坦的名字。這是在2004年後，被人加上的。
你可以因片中小朋友的說話大拍手掌，或者你會因為那傲慢的老師被駁，而大快人心，但請你不要誤會這是真人真事。
你問：這又何妨呢？
我說了無數次，作為基督徒，我們是尋真的人。「真」當然也包括事情的真相。
而這，並不是真相。
這樣盜用已故名人的口，來支持某種觀點，
就算觀點對，也是錯。
希望各位信徒明白，
也希望你們能擇善固執。

我也覺得奇怪，因為我差不多20年前讀大學時已經聽過這個論說和故事（我聽到的版本還包括一個粉筆跌落地唔斷的神跡），但完全與愛因斯坦關。多謝指正。

Yeah, that false attribution just makes me furious.
Take a look at this:

Same thing, but there are a few names there you might recognize, and it is just troubling…..
Also, although I’m not a philosopher, I think the philosophy behind that clip is also invalid or at least incompatible with the biblical view. The biblical view of good and evil is much more complex than that simple explanation. Evil does exist as a being. And God’s presence does permeate everywhere in this universe. There is not a place God cannot reach and therefore lack of God’s light and goodness (e.g. Ps 139).
This is just an example of how untrained apologetics in the philosophical realm brings more harm than good.

Alan: Wow, and a miracle too? And did little Einstein walked on water after class that day?
Anson: I never read the textbook in question. But I did read Einstein described himself as NOT a Atheist. Maybe this is the problem? The recent news about Antony Flew among Christian circle is also troubling. He is at most a deist since 2004, but his belief is still very far from the Christian worldview.
