John McCain on teaching evolution麦凯恩对教学的演变
From his 2005 book “Character is Destiny”:从他2005年的著作“汉字是命运” :
“Darwin helped explain nature’s laws. “达尔文帮助解释性质的法律。 He did not speculate, in his published theories at least, on the origin of life.他没有猜测,在他出版的理论,至少,在生命的起源。 He did not exclude God, for Whom the immensity of time is but a moment, from our presence.他不排除上帝,他们的巨大的时间,但目前,从我们的存在。 The only undeniable challenge the theory of evolution poses to Christian beliefs is its obvious contradiction of the idea that God created the world as it is in less than a week.唯一不可否认的挑战进化论构成基督教信仰是其明显的矛盾的想法,上帝创造了世界,因为它是在不到一个星期。 But our faith is certainly not so weak that it can be shaken to learn that a biblical metaphor is not literal history.但是,我们的信仰是肯定不会如此之弱,以便它能够动摇地了解到,一个圣经的隐喻不是字面的历史。 Nature doesn’t threaten our faith.自然不会威胁到我们的信仰。 On the contrary, when we contemplate its beauty and mysteries we cannot quiet in our heart an insistent impulse of belief that for all its variations and inevitable change, before its creation, in a time before time, God let it be so, and, thus, its many splendors and purposes abide in His purpose.”相反,当我们考虑它的美丽和富饶之谜,我们不能安静的在我们心中的冲动坚持认为其所有的变化和不可避免的变化,其成立之前,在一个时间时,上帝让它如此,并因此,它的许多辉煌的宗旨和遵守在他的目的。 “

CNN : “I believe in evolution,” Sen. John McCain said. 有线电视新闻网 : “我相信在进化, ”参议员约翰麦凯恩说。 “But I also believe, when I hike the Grand Canyon and see it at sunset, that the hand of God is there also.” “但是我也相信,当我加息的大峡谷,并看到它在日落,即上帝之手是也。 ”
John McCain’s particular flavor of religion is Christianity.参议员麦凯恩的特殊风味的宗教是基督教。 As someone who acknowledges no other form of superstition apart from the one he was taught, he compares Evolution with the one supernatural theory he knows well : Christian mythology.正如有人谁不承认其他形式的迷信,除了他是一名教授,他比较进化的一个超自然的理论,他深知:基督教的神话。 He concludes that there is no contradiction between said mythology and the scientific theory of Evolution, because Darwin did not exclude the possibility that life’s origin may have had a supernatural cause.他得出结论认为,不存在矛盾说,神话与科学理论的演变,因为达尔文并没有排除这种可能性 ,生命的起源可能有一个超自然的事业。 Furthermore, McCain see’s God’s hand in the Grand Canyon, but apparently only at sunset, not so much at sunrise.此外,麦凯恩见的上帝的手在大峡谷,但显然只有在日落时分,与其说在日出。 What do I think?我怎么想? Politics is a business for men of limited imagination and intellect.政治是男人的业务有限的想象力和智慧。 Maybe this needs to change.也许这需要改变。
