As if to miss the glory of the past

While watching this film, a sentence flashed through my mind: "It seems to be nostalgic for the glory of the past." I don't know if this film, or the director of this film, is nostalgic for the past when science was just born in The glory of this world when it shows its power is still in the memory of the glory of the old God in this world. Maybe both. Such a film may still be difficult for most Chinese audiences to understand too much, and it may just show a soul struggler and a truth seeker. However, it is difficult to say what is wrong with this understanding. In this world, most of the thinkers and truth seekers are perhaps the strugglers of the soul. If there are no Christians in the family, or to be more precise, if you are a Christian, and there are still people in your family who have not been saved, it is unlikely that Emma will understand Emma's concern and compassion for Darwin's soul. There is probably no other group in this world that cares and sympathizes with the soul of man as much as the Christians. For Christians, the salvation of souls is the number one priority of man in this world.

In the past six months, I have tried hard to humble myself before God, tried to use my best effort, that is, to take the Dharma, and treat myself as a Christian to listen to God's gospel, and try to put aside what I have experienced. all the prejudices he had, but in the end he still found it useless. Perhaps he really is not suitable for belief, at least not for the time being. I don't think there's anything absurd or wrong in God's gospel, but I think it's 99 percent right about what it says. But still not. It's not a question of right or wrong at all. Rather, I may not be a spiritual person at all; or, I may not be the kind of person God has chosen at all. In fact, in a large part of my thinking, a large part of my world is not composed of right and wrong.

During a meeting in a house church, someone told a story about a person who came to the meeting, and every time he came, he argued and criticized the absurdity of the Christian faith. Almost everyone in the church has given up on him, thinking that such a person is impossible to be saved. But in the end, in the words of a Christian: "It's amazing that he finally chose to believe." I believe this story is true. Because truth does not come from debate, and more importantly, belief has nothing to do with the right or wrong of secular logic, but a matter of spirituality and human heart. In fact, in this world, people can be divided into many aspects, rather than a single entity: one thing may not be very reliable for the exploration of truth, but for the people of the world , but may be necessary, such as religion. Or it can be said that one thing may be false for one aspect of human society, such as economics, but it may be the truth for another, such as morality.

I consider myself a humanist at heart.
rather than a religious person.

    Life is beautiful and colorful. Behind the beautiful and colorful appearance of life, there is a seemingly cruel survival law, but it also has people's warm attention to it. When you choose an angle, you also have an attitude, objective or subjective, there is a reference standard, and what you choose is subjective. So there are thousands of truths in this world, sometimes enlightened, sometimes confused, how can you explain it clearly?

Creation quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Emma Darwin: Do you not care that you and I may be separated for all eternity?

  • Reverend John Innes: Charles. Charles, my old friend, there you are. May I join you?

    Charles Darwin: Yes. Yes, of course.

    Reverend John Innes: Mrs. Darwin has told me about the book you're writing.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, no, not anymore, thank goodness.

    Reverend John Innes: You mean you finished it?

    Charles Darwin: It's been finished for me, actually. A Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace has arrived independently at exactly the same opinion. Expressed in a... in a mere twenty pages. Now there's brevity for you. I had covered two-hundred-fifty so far and have come to a dead end, so whilst having wasted twenty years on the project, I have at least rid of it.

    Reverend John Innes: Well... Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways.

    Charles Darwin: Hmmm, yes, he does, doesn't he? You know, I was remarking only the other day, how he has endowed us in all of his blessed generosity with not one but nine-hundred species of intestinal worm, each with its own unique method of infiltrated the mucosa and burrowing through to the bloodstream. And on the love that he shows for butterflies by inventing a wasp that lays its eggs inside the living flesh of caterpillars.

    Reverend John Innes: I have said on many previous occasions, it is not for us to speculate at His reasons.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, we can leave that to Mr. Wallace! Shall I advise him to stay abroad, do you think? With his opinions if he shows his face around here, he may be required to kneel on rock salt!
