1
I think what most people get wrong when speaking of God is to imagine God as a big being.
2
I look up in the night sky and I see stars and planets and look around I see animals and plants.
3
I see the world of beings, of things.
4
The great mistake is to say, well, he must be the biggest being around.
5
He's the supreme being among the many beings of the world.
6
And that's precisely what God is not.
7
How often atheists, both old and new, will say something like, well, where's your evidence for God?
8
If you imagine God as one more big contingent thing among others, well then there's just there's no evidence for that reality.
9
They're operating out of a scientific framework.
10
But see, if you're looking for God that way, you'll never find him.
11
That's not what he is.
12
God is the sheer act of existence itself in and through which all particular things exist.
13
But people get caught up in misunderstanding God and therefore seeking him in a sort of empirical, scientific way.
14
That's not going to work.
15
You know, the theologian Paul Tillich, who was one of the great
16
Protestant theologians of the last century, he said the word faith is the most misunderstood word in the religious vocabulary.
17
And I've always felt that's right.
18
How do people read faith?
19
Through a scientific lens or a scientistic lens.
20
Faith is credulity.
21
It's superstition.
22
It's accepting things on the basis of no evidence.
23
It's the way a child thinks.
24
That is not faith.
25
That is indeed superstition, credulity, stupidity.
26
The Church, at its best, is calling people beyond that.
27
We're not satisfied leaving people in a state of pre -rational superstition.
28
So what's faith then?
29
It's something on the far side of reason.
30
When reason has gone about as far as it can possibly go, it looks into a kind of alluring darkness.
31
Faith in ways like that, the full presence of God, is such that it overwhelms the mind.
32
And of course it does.
33
And that shouldn't be surprising that God, ipsum esse, the sheer act of being itself, the creator of all things,
34
that in whom essence and existence coincide, is not going to be definable by our minds.
35
It won't fit into our minds.
36
So what does the mind want?
37
Well, it wants the truth.
38
And so it seeks it.
39
It seeks it scientifically, psychologically.
40
It seeks it through literature.
41
It seeks it through philosophy.
42
That's the beauty of the mind.
43
I'd be asking people not to close their minds, but to keep opening their minds.
44
I love the sciences.
45
But I don't like scientism, which is the reduction of all knowledge to the scientific form of knowledge.
46
I love the sciences and their success in the technology they've delivered to us.
47
But first of all, there's all kinds of other ways of knowing the truth about the world.
48
Hamlet doesn't have a bit of science in it,
49
but Hamlet delivers to us profound truths about human life and about love and about frustration and about aspiration.
50
We've got to open our minds beyond just a scientific vision of reality.
51
So what I would say is religion doesn't close the mind.
52
On the contrary, I'm opposed to any system that wants to shut down the spirit and say, no, no, that's all you can know.
53
No, no, no, don't go beyond these limits.
54
No, blow open the limits.
55
Go beyond the limits.
56
See, and that to me is language of faith, not infrarational stupidity and superstition.
57
No, no, no. But faith is this alluring horizon, this darkness beyond the light.
58
And by God, yes, I want to keep opening that up for people.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 17 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 doesn't, don't, gonna。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “th” 音: atheist /ˈeɪ.θi.ɪst/, theologian /ˌθi.əˈloʊd͡ʒən/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: sheer /ʃɪɚ/, reduction /ɹɪˈdʌk.ʃən/, rational /ˈɹæʃ(ə)nəl/, frustration /fɹʌsˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/, aspiration /ˌæspəˈɹeɪʃən/
  • 长单词——注意重音位置: stupidity /stuˈpɪdɪti/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, empirical /ɪmˈpɪɹɪkəl/, credulity /kɹɪˈduːlɪti/, misunderstand /mɪs.ʌn.də(ɹ)ˈstænd/

中文母语者容易读错的音：

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, overwhelm /ˌoʊ.vɚˈwɛlm/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: darkness /ˈdɑɹk.nɪs/, lens /lɛnz/, framework /ˈfɹeɪm.wɜːk/, essence /ˈɛsəns/, oppose /əˈpoʊz/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: precisely /pɹɪˈsaɪs.li/, rational /ˈɹæʃ(ə)nəl/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, empirical /ɪmˈpɪɹɪkəl/, credulity /kɹɪˈduːlɪti/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
  2. 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读，熟练之后再回到正常速度。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 darkness, lens, sheer 这类单词。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
