Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.

  • -- Tryon Edwards 特赖恩·爱德华兹

科学有时被说成是与信仰对立的,而且与信仰不一致。但事实上,所有的科学都建立在信仰的基础上,因为它假定自然规律的持久性和统一性——这是永远无法证明的。
