希望你不会太失望。 黑暗中世纪的天主教已经试试把圣经扔掉,烧掉那些把圣经翻译成别语言的人, 没有成功。20世纪的共产党也试过, 都失败了。

据估计圣经(全书或部分内容)的印刷数量已超过47亿本。跟分发量第二的《毛主席语录》相比,圣经的分发量超过了5倍以上。

最近某一年,圣经全书或部分内容,分发量也超过5000万本。“圣经是该年最畅销的书,也是每年最畅销的书。”——《纽约客》杂志。

圣经全书或部分内容已翻译成2400多种语言。全球超过百分之90的人,都可以看到自己母语的圣经全书或其部分内容的译本。

《我腑脏的深处是你造的; 我在母亲腹中, 你就一直覆庇我。 我要赞颂你, 因为我的受造奇妙可畏。 你的作为奇妙, 我是清楚知道的。 我在暗中受造, 在地的最深处被编织成形; 当时我的骨骼 在你眼前并不隐蔽。 我还是胚胎的时候, 你的眼睛就看见我了。 我身上未有一处成形, 我百体受造的日子 都已经记在你的册上了》(以色列国王大卫, 公元前1000年左右, 圣经,诗篇 139:13-16).

特别值得注意就是他怎么形容基因运作 ,《都已经记在你的册上》.

Thanks for the link Henning! I read it with interest, but I ask myself it comes close to what? To the fact that life can change by mutations, and some mutations can even benefit the bacteria? If this is considered a great proof that humans evolved from bacterias, there is much more faith needed to believe in evolution-theory than in God.

Great input, tal_!

Darwin really has been misunderstood by Hitler. He is also misunderstood by people ourdays who claim that they do not believe in God but rather in Darwin. Interestingly, the chinese version of "The Origin of Species" censored Darwin himself by explaining in an extra comment in the text that he didn't mean God who put life on earth, but he meant "nature", although Darwin used "creator" in this context.

Darwins great scientific achivement was that he proofed that life can change. But until now there is no proof that life can change to the extend of having cats evolved into dogs or apes evolved into man. I can accept these as hyphoteses, but scientific facts are something different. 1+1=2, was a fact with the ancient greeks and will be a fact for all times.

in order to understand my 平等-argument in this context, it might help to understand the notorious history of the country where I was born. Hitler used Darwinism to explain why he thinks some human races are above others. He considered Jews as inferior and therefore saw himself justified to kill 6 million innocent people. The majority of the germans obviously subscribed to this and didn't go against him.

It would be only logical if the 古猿 story would be true that we have different semi-human ancestors. But tal pointed (with his beautiful finger) to the fact that all humankind has the same ancestors (as our genes reveal). This matches perfectly with the Bibles Genesis-record of common ancestors made by an intelligent creator. Common ancestors, 人家都平等 is the simple reasoning we find in the Bible.
