小时候，我最崇拜的人物有两个：一个是开天辟地的盘古，一个是造人的大神女娲。我常常梦想，如果我能有他们那样的本领，该有多好啊！ When I was a child, there were two characters I adored most: one was the Pan Gu who made the world, and the other was Nuwa, the great God who made people. I often dream, if I can have their ability, how good! 但从我上学后开始，这两位大神在我心目中都失去位置了。原因是，我知道了“天外有天”：即我们头顶上的东西是大气层，而大气层上又是宇宙，哪里有什么天宫呀，极乐世界呀，更别提什么盘古、女娲了。 But since I went to school, these two great gods have lost their places in my mind. The reason is that I know that "there is a sky beyond the sky": that is to say, the thing on our head is the atmosphere, and the atmosphere is the universe. Where is the heaven palace, paradise, not to mention Pangu and Nuwa. 而且，在我上三年级时，书上的神话故事更令我啼笑皆非：西方也有耶和华上帝造人的传说。同样是人，难道是分别由两个神创造出来的？ Moreover, when I was in the third grade, the mythology in the book made me laugh and laugh. In the west, there was also the legend that the LORD God made man. Are the same people created by two gods? 在古代，科学不发达，我们祖先无法知道人的来历，于是便借助幻想，编造了一些所谓的事实，来迎合人们的好奇心和求知欲。而在科学高度发达的今天，无数的事实告诉了我们，人是由古代类人猿进化而来的。达尔文的“进化论”可以有事实来作依据，而神话呢？它的依据何在？可以看出，神话传说在早期人类的头盖骨化石面前，显得苍白无力。但为什么，现在还有些人死守着传说的那一套不放？我们头顶是宇宙，没有空气，甚至连起码的微生物也没有，大神女娲、耶和华上帝从何而来？这不是前后矛盾吗？ |
