科学也疯狂

你们不仅有宗教的狂热派，也有科学的狂热派。

宗教与科学尽管看起来涉及完全相反的体系，却都大声宣告其对真理的追求。二者都把自己的信念当作真理——谁都不应篡改的真理。他们寻求“始”与“终”。科学家们有自己的词汇，那些词汇的使用加强了科学的排外性。在此我指的是一般所说的科学团体，因为在某种意义上，的确还有一种科学团体是由每个科学家参与形成的。一名科学家在家庭生活中的表现，也许与他身为科学家时完全不一样。举例来说，他也许爱他家养的狗，而与此同时，当他以自己的职业身份把病变组织注射到其他动物身上时，却没觉得有何不妥。

不过，不管怎么说，狂热派之间会相互影响，所以，当宗教与科学都处于像狂热派那样的运作状态时，它们之间就产生了很大的关联。现在，你们狂热宗教的存在是对科学狂热行为的响应。科学坚持它并不处理价值的问题，而将之留给哲学家。可是，当声明宇宙是一个意外的创造，一种无意义的偶然聚合物，由无情的秩序所形成时，科学就十分清楚地说出了它的信念，即宇宙和人的存在都没有价值，所剩下的只是从人的“个体生物性过程”中可勉强获得的一些乐趣或成就而已。

You have scientific cults as well as religious ones.

Religion and science both loudly proclaim their search for truth, although they are seemingly involved in completely opposing systems. They both treat their beliefs as truths, with which no one should tamper. They search for beginnings and endings. The scientists have their own vocabulary, which is used to reinforce the exclusive nature of science. Now I am speaking of the body of science in general terms here, for there is in a way a body of science that exists as a result of each individual scientist's participation. A given scientist may act quite differently in his family life and as a scientist. He may love his family dog, for example, while at the same time think nothing of injecting other animals with diseased tissue in his professional capacity.

Granting that, however, cults interact, and so there is quite a relationship between the state of religion, when it operates as a cult, and the state of science when it operates as a cult. Right now your cultish religions exist in response to the cultish behavior of science. Science insists it does not deal with values, but leaves those to philosophers. In stating that the universe is an accidental creation, however, a meaningless chance conglomeration formed by an unfeeling cosmos, it states quite clearly its belief that the universe and man's existence has no value. All that remains is what pleasure or accomplishment can somehow be wrested from man's individual biological processes.
