Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 41 God is not God
Subtitle of this chapter: Science taken to the extreme becomes magic
"Of course, my god, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, also created heaven and hell. In heaven, there is a volcano that flows with fine wine, and there is also an entertainment venue that everyone loves. The layout of hell and heaven is exactly the same, but the volcano flows with horse urine, and the employees in the entertainment venue all suffer from organ diseases..."
Our Ultraman Seven... well, Master Yuan's serious "sermon" made the three people present and more and more listeners around them burst into laughter.
In fact, like a certain big country in the East, America is also a country with great differences between the east and the west, and the north and the south. If Yuan Yanshu said these words in the southern "Moon... um, Bible Belt", he would definitely be burned to death. However, he is now in the northeastern United States, which is relatively open, and making such "harmless" jokes is actually quite popular with the audience.
“Wuwuwu…”
As we were talking, we arrived at Baltimore Station, the penultimate stop on the Northeast Corridor Railway Line, which meant that it would only take more than half an hour to reach the final stop, Washington.
"Gentlemen, your desserts and coffee."
The people around them gradually dispersed, and the dinner was coming to an end.
Captain Arnold smiled and said, "An atheist like Mr. Yuan is really very pleasing to the ear. But..."
He shook his head and said, "But I still don't believe that there are no gods in this world. After all, there have been so many miracles in history."
What miracles? They are just coincidences or myths.
It’s just that he didn’t have the time to refute these so-called “miracles” now , so he had to find another way.
"Captain, of course there are gods." Yuan Yan suddenly picked up the small spoon used for desserts and smiled, "Gentlemen. But gods are not what you imagine."
His contradictory words make people feel a little confused.
Major Cao Linsheng couldn't help but ask, "Neo, you said you are an atheist, or a strong atheist, why are you talking about the existence of gods now?"
Master Yuan patiently explained: "Lance, for an atheist like me, the omniscient, omnipotent, and eternal God you mentioned certainly does not exist. But...please note that it is very possible that there is a being beyond us."
Is science at its extreme the devil? Our classmate Yuan Hongjian is indeed an atheist, and the "god" he refers to is the high-dimensional creature who created the Master Ball.
He looked at the three puzzled faces, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth and said, "If a group of primitive people saw us sitting in the belly of a roaring steel beast, wearing exquisite clothes they had never seen before, and eating exquisite food they had never tasted before, what would they think of us?"
"Just as the Incas regarded Francisco Pizarro and his people as white gods, they will regard us as gods."
"Similarly, if we encounter aliens who travel dozens or even hundreds of light years across interstellar spaceships, or even more incomprehensible high-dimensional intelligent creatures, what would we regard them as?"
Of course, Yuan Yanshu didn’t know yet that what he said would eventually become irrefutable evidence that he was an alien.
He continued excitedly: "As long as we understand it from this perspective, then all miracles and supernatural phenomena have reasonable explanations. What is the parting of the Red Sea? What are the five loaves and two fish? What is resurrection after death?"
Our Master Yuan looked at Major Patton deeply and said, "What's reincarnation?"
His words made this American officer with strange beliefs a little uneasy...
Patton wrote a poem titled "Through a Glass, Darkly" in 1944 while leading the Third Army across France.
The poem describes the roles he saw himself playing over the centuries: a Carthaginian warrior under Hannibal; a Roman soldier fighting for Caesar; a Greek warrior fighting the Persians at the Siege of Tyre in 332 B.C.; Napoleon’s field marshal at the Battle of Waterloo; a French knight at the Battle of Crecy during the Hundred Years’ War between England and France.
Going further ahead, although the scene was a little blurry, he saw himself with a distorted face, holding a spear in his hand, hunting wild beasts.
In the poem he wrote: " On this planet, in countless great and difficult battles, I fought and perished, and experienced the torment of generations."
Well, George Patton Jr. is going to the DND world and will definitely become a saint of Tempus.
The warrior who followed the divine will of reincarnation asked anxiously, "Mr. Yuan, can reincarnation also be explained by your theory?"
"Major Patton, why not?!"
You haven't watched the infinite flow. The warriors under the Lord's throne have fought in countless planes, not to mention the world of RU rock and Plants vs. Zombies, even "Night Shift Sick Building" can be visited.
Master Yuan pointed to his head and said, "Memory is just a memory. You think you have a past life, but maybe it's just a memory inserted by some existence."
It's like he has two memories in his head. Of course, there is another possibility, that is the brain in the jar, but this is too scary, so Yuan Yan automatically filtered it out.
"Gentlemen, instead of believing in gods who can do things without cause, it is better to believe in aliens, people from the future, people from another world, people with super powers..."
Wait, why does this line sound so familiar?!
"Ahem." Yuan Yan coughed a few times and said, "In short, not believing in God is not a big deal, and it is not a sin."
"The death of God is not a big deal, the death of freedom is a big deal!"
Okay, that's it. Anyway, I have tried my best. If I fail to complete this temporary task, there is nothing I can do. At most, I can add the "Card: Deceit 2" to my strength.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Gentlemen, we are about to arrive at our final destination, Washington. Do you need anything else?"
Well, this is actually a debt collection.
When our Master Yuan was pretending to take out his wallet, Major Patton waved his hand proudly and said, "It is our honor to hear Mr. Yuan's profound speech today. This meal is on my table!"
Anyway, the other party is rich and doesn't need a meal. Yuan Yan simply said thank you and ignored such a trivial matter.
After they paid the bill, they exchanged contact information, shook hands and said goodbye.
At this time, Master Yuan still hadn't heard the prompt sound indicating that the task was completed.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Master Ball, didn't I complete this mission?"
"Host, please wait a moment..."
