问题     71. Christianity is the long-exiting religion mainly found in the Western world, in which it is God that creates everything in the universe,  not excluding human beings.  This is creationism. In contrast, modern science believes that evolution is the answer to the question of who created the world. This is the theory of evolution.
    Evolution has been challenged by those believing in the creation theory of the universe, The apparent conflict between religious and scientific explanations of creation and evolution has left a century-old legacy of suspicion and outright acrimony. In the United States, many are not willing to accept the theory of evolution and some even argue against the teaching of evolution to school children. For example, the Kansas State Board of Education voted to eliminate evolution from its state science standards, and would also eliminate it from the state science tests. The result was to discourage Kansas schools from teaching evolution. People for the American Way Foundation commissioned a study of how the public felt about teaching evolution and creationism in public schools. Its results, published in the March 11,20010, Ann Arbor News, led with "An overwhelming majority of Americans think that creationism should be taught along with Darwin’s theory of evolution in public schools..." 72. The battles between science and Christianity have run through Western history since the Enlightenment when science replaced religion as a dominant force in Western society. The theory of evolution was widely believed during the fluorescent years of science development. Why are evolutionists severely challenged by creationism currently? One reason may be that some people believe science has come to its end and it can never explain the final secrets of the universe, thus resorting to creationism and taking it as the only way to understand the origin of the universe.
    73. While few experts suggest an actual convergence of the two views is possible, creative dialogue is on the upswing. New organizations are forming and others are expanding whose aim is rapprochement between science and religion. More than 100 organizations worldwide, many of them in the U. S., now provide forums for creative exchange of religious and scientific perspectives.
    This article approaches the issue of science and Christianity by claiming that science and Christianity are compatible to each other, not conflicting with each other.

答案科学和基督教的论争贯穿启蒙运动以来的西方历史。当时,科学取代了作为西方社会统治力量的宗教。在科学发展的光辉岁月,进化论受到广泛的信奉。为什么进化论者目前受到神造说的严峻挑战?原因之一也许是某些人认为科学已走向尽头,永远也解释不了宇宙最终的奥秘。因此,他们借助神造说,把它看作是了解宇宙起源的唯一途径。
