  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: It's not one of my courses because that would be narcissistic; it is Jimmy Akin's Beginner's Guide to Apologetics.
  zh: 并不是我自己教的课——不然就太自恋了；那是 Jimmy Akin 的「护教学新手指南」。

  zh: 这课程实在太棒了，因为 Jimmy 真是最厉害的人。

  en: check out my new course Evidence for God, because today, also, this ties into that a little bit, I want to talk about how Christians sometimes get God wrong.
  zh: 看看我新开的「神存在的证据」课程，因为今天的话题也有点关联，我想聊聊基督徒有时会把神给弄错。

  end: 57.381
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: And so, the title of today's episode is How the Medieval God Can Beat Up the Modern God.
  zh: 所以，今天这集的标题是「为什么中世纪的神能打败现代的神」。
- start: 57.381

  en: What does that mean?
  zh: 这是什么意思呢？
- start: 57.941
  end: 63.723
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: We often think of medieval philosophers as living in the Dark Ages, and I hate that phrase, by the way.
  zh: 我们常觉得中世纪的哲学家生活在「黑暗时代」，其实我很不喜欢这个说法。
- start: 63.723
  end: 67.888
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: I think it was Petrarch, a Renaissance writer, who came up with it, which is silly.
  zh: 我记得这是文艺复兴时期的作家彼特拉克提出来的说法，挺荒谬的。
- start: 67.888
  end: 73.234
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: It was the time when the light of Christ shined in the world; it was Christendom.
  zh: 当时是基督的光普照世界的时候；那是基督教世界。

  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: During the medieval period, there were all kinds of advances in technology, the arts, and literature.
  zh: 在中世纪期间，各种科技、艺术和文学都取得了进步。
- start: 78.641
  end: 88.11
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: In any case, that's a topic for another show, but medieval philosophers gave us a lot of great insights into understanding who God is, and it's very technical and sophisticated.
  zh: 总之，这可以留到别的节目去讲，但中世纪哲学家在了解神的本质上提供了很多精深且复杂的看法。
- start: 88.11
  end: 96.391
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Ironically, many modern views of God are much less sophisticated and dumbed down compared to medieval philosophers.
  zh: 讽刺的是，很多现代对于神的看法，其实比起中世纪哲学家还要肤浅简单得多。
- start: 96.391
  end: 114.679
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: When you have these modern views of God that are dumbed down or not as sophisticated or not as fully thought out, you can get into trouble when you argue about atheism, and atheists can put forward serious objections to theism, to belief in God, based on these understandings of God that are really incomplete.
  zh: 当现代人对神的看法过于简化、不够深刻、或没有充分思考，就很容易在讨论无神论时出问题。无神论者也能根据这些不完整的神观念，对神论和对神的信仰提出严厉的质疑。
- start: 114.679

  zh: 好，在开始之前，你能先跟我们的听众简单介绍一下你自己吗？

  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: Well, I’m in an online business, faith, and health.
  zh: 嗯，我主要在网上做与信仰和健康相关的事业。
- start: 145.595
  end: 151.558
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: I guess my backgrounds academically are in economics and philosophy, but a lot of people know me for sharing online kettlebell workouts.
  zh: 我在学术上的背景是经济学和哲学，不过很多人认识我是因为我在线上分享壶铃锻炼。
- start: 151.558
  end: 155.12
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: So it’s kind of weird; I kind of have a foot in a lot of different worlds.
  zh: 所以这有点奇妙；我算是一只脚踏进各种不同的领域。

  zh: 我现在是 Catholic Answers 的隶属护教者，这对我来说是莫大的荣誉。
- start: 159.543
  end: 165.526
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: I am a former atheist and naturalist who was convinced by the great classical theistic tradition.
  zh: 我曾是一个无神论者和自然主义者，然后被伟大的古典神论传统所说服。
- start: 165.807
  end: 173.671
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: In fact, it was this particular model and view of God that moved me away from naturalism to theism and then eventually to Catholicism, right?
  zh: 事实上，正是这种对神的特定模式和观点，让我从自然主义走向神论，最后又进到了公教，对吧？
- start: 173.671
  end: 180.815
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: So it was really the philosophy of God that served as a significant bridge to religion for me.
  zh: 所以，正是关于神的哲学对我来说成了走向信仰的重要桥梁。
- start: 181.136
  end: 185.778
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: So I think maybe that’s the most relevant aspect of my background, probably for the conversation we’re going to have.
  zh: 我想，这大概是我背景里最切合今天对话的部分。
- start: 185.778
  end: 188.68
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Yeah, well let’s jump into that classical theism.
  zh: 好，那让我们来谈谈古典神论吧。
- start: 188.68
  end: 191.501
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: A lot of people may not understand that, but I think that that’s the big difference.
  zh: 很多人可能不太懂，但我觉得这就说明了一个很大的差别。
- start: 191.501
  end: 197.15
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: When we talk about the medieval God, we’re talking about a classical tradition, not just a Christian one.
  zh: 当我们谈到中世纪的神，我们说的是一个古典传统，而不只是基督教的。
- start: 197.15
  end: 210.054
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: By the way, we have obviously Catholic philosophers like Aquinas and Bonaventure, but also there are Jewish philosophers as well; Maimonides would be one of them, and Muslim philosophers like Avicenna.
  zh: 当然，也有公教哲学家像阿奎那和圣文德，但也有犹太哲学家，比如迈蒙尼德，还有穆斯林哲学家像伊本·西那。
- start: 210.054
  end: 217.296
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: These are all, while they differed in important ways from each other, they all held to a very classical view of God.
  zh: 虽然他们在不少关键问题上彼此看法不同，但他们都持有一种非常古典的神观。
- start: 217.296
  end: 225.345
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: So I want to talk about classical theism versus what the Catholic philosopher Brian Davies calls theistic personalism.
  zh: 所以我想谈谈古典神论，和公教哲学家 Brian Davies 所说的「人格主义神论」之间的区别。
- start: 225.566
  end: 240.644
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: I think the biggest difference here, that for a lot of people, what is so hard about sharing the existence of God or debating with atheists today, is that many modern people erroneously think God is a being among others.
  zh: 我认为最大的差别在于，对于很多人来说，分享神的存在或与无神论者辩论时的困扰，常常是因为许多现代人错误地把神看作一个与其他事物并列的存在。
- start: 240.664
  end: 248.487
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Then if we want to prove God exists, we have to assemble evidence in the same way we would prove any other individual being exists.
  zh: 于是，如果我们想证明神存在，就要像证明其他某个实体存在一样去搜集证据。
- start: 248.487
  end: 249.888

  en: You want to prove Bigfoot?
  zh: 你想证明大脚怪存在吗？

  en: Go out with your cameras.
  zh: 那就带着相机去找。

  zh: 你想证明希格斯玻色子？
- start: 252.809

  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Turn on the machine that does the scientific experiments.
  zh: 那就启动做科学实验的机器。
- start: 255.871
  end: 261.96
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: You know, they think God is just one being among all these other beings, and we’ve got to do our telescopes and microscopes to find Him.
  zh: 也就是说，他们觉得神只是所有存在者之一，我们要用望远镜或显微镜才能找着祂。
- start: 261.96
  end: 274.203
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: 'So that’s a very modern view of God: that He’s a being among others, which allows atheists to judge God in a different way than He should be judged, whereas the classical view would be that God just is being.'
  zh: 这就代表一种很现代的神观：把神当作众多存在中的一个，让无神论者能用不该用于神的方式来判断祂；而古典的看法则是神就是存在本身。
- start: 274.203
  end: 276.403
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: But that’s not pantheism.
  zh: 但这并不是泛神论。
- start: 276.463
  end: 277.603
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Break this down for us!
  zh: 给我们解释一下吧！
- start: 277.603
  end: 282.024
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: Yeah, God is being itself; everything else is being through participation.
  zh: 对，神就是存在本身；其他一切都是透过分有而存在。
- start: 282.024
  end: 289.262
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: So we’re not saying that everything that exists is God when we say that God is subsistent existence itself, because we’re committed to modes of being, right?
  zh: 所以当我们说神就是独立存在的本身，并不是在说所有存在的事物都是神，因为我们还要承认存在的不同方式，对吧？
- start: 289.262
  end: 297.071
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: Our mode of being is distinct from God’s mode of being, so that’s important to get clarity on that up front to avoid a sort of pantheism or panentheism.
  zh: 我们的存在方式和神的存在方式不同，所以要先把这一点说明白，才能避免泛神论或万有在神论的误解。
- start: 297.332
  end: 302.437
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: But no, classical theism, as you note, Trent, is both very deep and very wide in its tradition.
  zh: 不过，Trent，你说得没错，古典神论的传统的确既深邃又宽广。
- start: 302.437
  end: 310.526
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: I would argue it goes all the way back to Plato, where he sort of identifies the ultimate deity, if you will, with the form of the Good, putting his Demiurge aside, right?
  zh: 我会说它可以一直追溯到柏拉图，他把终极的神性和「至善之形」联系起来，先不谈他的造物主，对吧？
- start: 310.526
  end: 316.229
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: And then it’s sort of developed right on down through the line, certainly into Christianity.
  zh: 然后这种思想一路传承下来，当然也进入了基督信仰。
- start: 316.229
  end: 326.936
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: Augustine, Boethius, Aquinas is often seen as sort of the great champion of these developments, but you have classical theists in Hinduism, in Islam, and in Judaism.
  zh: 奥古斯丁、波伊修、阿奎那常被视为这一系列思想发展的重要推动者，不过在印度教、伊斯兰教和犹太教当中，也有古典神论者。
- start: 326.936
  end: 330.138
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: So it’s certainly not restricted to Christianity.
  zh: 因此它绝不限于基督信仰里。
- start: 330.219
  end: 333.021
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: In fact, many Protestants are classical theists.
  zh: 事实上，许多新教徒也是古典神论者。
- start: 333.021
  end: 337.304
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: I want to make sure that this is not a Catholic versus Protestant debate.
  zh: 我要声明，这并不是一个公教对新教的争论。
- start: 337.304
  end: 342.53
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: I mean, this is very popular even among the Protestant Reformers and going forward for several centuries.
  zh: 我的意思是，它在新教改革者当中非常广受认同，并且持续了好几个世纪。
- start: 342.53
  end: 349.037
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: It’s much more recent and, I guess, if we had to make a comparison—like what do we mean by the difference here?
  zh: 较新的观点——如果我们要做个比较的话，那我们这里到底指的差异是什么？
- start: 349.037
  end: 363.55
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: To put it in concrete terms, like what we’re comparing would be St. Thomas Aquinas, but even Calvin and other Protestant Reformers had this view that God— and we’ll break down these attributes here shortly—God is infinite.
  zh: 举例来说，我们要比较的其中一端是圣托马斯·阿奎那，但就连加尔文和其他新教改革者也认为神——我们待会儿会谈到这些属性——是无限的。
- start: 363.55
  end: 369.16
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He is not a being among others; He is not a person among other persons.
  zh: 祂不是和其他存在并列的一个，也不是众人当中的一个。
- start: 372.355
  end: 375.876
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He has intellect and will, but He is being itself.
  zh: 祂虽然有理智和意志，但祂就是存在本身。
- start: 375.896
  end: 377.716
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He is the ground of being.
  zh: 祂是存在的根基。
- start: 377.716
  end: 384.157
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Anything that exists exists because it participates in the fact that God is being, and God gives it being.
  zh: 任何事物之所以存在，都是因为它分享了神作为存在之本这一事实，是神赐予它存在。
- start: 384.438
  end: 385.438
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: So God is being.
  zh: 所以神就是存在。
- start: 385.438
  end: 388.718
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He is simple; He’s not composed of parts.
  zh: 祂是单纯的；祂并非由诸多部分组合而成。
- start: 388.738
  end: 394.84
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He is timeless, He is necessary, He is immutable; God does not change.
  zh: 祂超越时间，祂是必然的，祂不变；神不会改变。
- start: 395.24
  end: 409.746
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: So when you have all of these points together, you have a very robust view of God, whereas a more modern conception— to give a few examples our listeners might be familiar with—would be like how William Lane Craig views God.
  zh: 结合这些要点来看，就会有一个非常坚实的神观；相较之下，一些较为现代的概念——听众或许熟悉的——例如威廉·莱恩·克雷格对神的看法。
- start: 409.746
  end: 413.008
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Now, I think William Lane Craig has put out a lot of great arguments in natural theology.
  zh: 当然，我认为威廉·莱恩·克雷格在自然神学里提出了很多精彩的论证。
- start: 413.008

  zh: 在其他公教人士不支持时，我却一直坚定支持卡拉姆宇宙论证。
- start: 417.752
  end: 421.955
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 我真的很喜欢他！
- start: 448.727
  end: 451.789
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: What it means to be God, though, the problem is you ask Swinburne, What does it mean to be God?
  zh: 然而，成为神意味着什么？问题就在这里，你如果去问斯温伯恩：成为神是什么意思？
- start: 451.789
  end: 455.067
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He says, Well, it's not that hard to imagine being God.
  zh: 他会说：「嗯，要想象自己是神并不难。」
- start: 455.067
  end: 463.351
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Just imagine you, and you don't have a body, you don't get tired, and you're not ignorant.
  zh: 「你就想象自己没有身体，不会疲乏，也不会无知。」
- start: 463.351
  end: 469.835
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 「你对一切了如指掌，很快就能得出成为神的涵义。」
- start: 471.336
  end: 480.309
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: So here he’s just saying God is like a big cosmic person like me with infinite powers, but that leads to a bunch of problems.
  zh: 所以他实际上是在说，神就像一个拥有无限能力的庞大宇宙人格，这会带来许多问题。
- start: 480.309
  end: 482.311
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: I’ll give you one that we can start out with.
  zh: 我可以给你举个例子，咱们先从这里开始。
- start: 482.672
  end: 487.663
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: And that would be the philosopher Stephen Law, who has said, Well, how do we know God is good?
  zh: 那就是哲学家斯蒂芬·劳提出的疑问：我们怎么知道神是良善的呢？
- start: 487.663
  end: 488.484
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: How do we know?
  zh: 我们凭什么知道？

  en: Look at the world around us.
  zh: 看看周围的世界。
- start: 489.465
  end: 493.729
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: People say, Look at all the good things; that means there's a good God, and He tolerates evil.
  zh: 有人说：你看有这么多好事，说明有一位良善的神，祂容许恶的存在。
- start: 493.729
  end: 499.734
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: And Law says, Well, how do you know it isn't an evil God, and He just tolerates the good things so He can have more evil?
  zh: 而劳的反驳是：那你怎么知道并不是一个邪恶的神，祂只是容忍些好事，好让祂能行更多的恶？
- start: 499.734
  end: 500.335
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: How do you know?
  zh: 你怎么确定？
- start: 500.335
  end: 502.076
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: It could go either way.
  zh: 两种可能都说得通。
- start: 502.557
  end: 515.027
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: I've seen others like William Lane Craig and others try to rebut this, but I feel like classical theists have a great retort, and that is because God is being itself; He also has to be perfectly good because of the nature of being.
  zh: 我也看过威廉·莱恩·克雷格等人对此的反驳，但我觉得古典神论者有一个精彩的回应：神是存在本身，由于存有的本质，祂也必须是完美善的。

  en: So yes, when we’re contrasting classical theism with the modern God, well, there are a lot of different models of the modern God, so it’s kind of difficult to just dismiss all of them right away.
  zh: 是的，当我们将古典神论与现代的神观对比时，确实存在许多现代神观的不同版本，所以没法一眼全部否决。

  zh: 我不知道他现在是否还坚持这个观点，但在许多现代宗教哲学家看来，有关神的必然性——也就是祂必须存在——有人会说那是一种事实上的必然性，或者说神是无法被摧毁的：祂本来可能不存在，但既然祂存在了，就不会改变了，对吧？
- start: 573.158
  end: 578.883
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 不过斯温伯恩很有名的一点是，他在终极解释层面常提出一种「无法再简化的」概念，我想这是我们稍后要探讨的关键问题。

- start: 804.924
  end: 816.061
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: So if reality were only these types of things, the traditional cosmological argument just says if that’s all reality were, there would not be a sufficient condition for being, and none of those things would actually exist.
  zh: 所以，如果现实只包含这类事物，传统的宇宙论证会说：如果现实仅此而已，就不会有让它们真实存在的「充分条件」，结果这些事物就根本不会真实存在。

  zh: 对，好的，我认为那样做远远不够，对吧？

  end: 1001.627

  en: Right.
  zh: 没错。
- start: 1030.271
  end: 1037.755
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 因为要是我们继续追问：「为什么这个特定的宇宙初始状态会是那个必要根基呢？」
- start: 1037.755

  zh: 看起来本来可能是别的什么状态。
- start: 1040.376
  end: 1051.772
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: But if you have an idea of God that could have been different in many ways—that isn’t this infinite act of being itself—then you have problems.
  zh: 但如果你的神观允许在很多方面都可以不一样，也就是说祂不是那种无限的存在本身，那就会遭遇问题。
- start: 1051.772
  end: 1059.977
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: But it seems to me, then that with divine simplicity, oh well, this explains it because the ultimate explanation of reality couldn’t have any parts.
  zh: 不过，我觉得从神的单纯性来看，这就说得通了，因为现实的终极解释不能有任何部分。
- start: 1059.977
  end: 1067.681
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: If something has parts, you know, there’s something more basic than it that keeps the parts together—that is the ultimate explanation.
  zh: 如果某样东西是由部分构成的，那就会有更基本的东西把它维系成整体——而那个更基本的才是终极解释。
- start: 1067.681
  end: 1068.462

  en: That would be God.
  zh: 那就是神了。
- start: 1068.462
  end: 1072.424

  zh: 因此，这也解释了为什么神是现实的终极根基。
- start: 1072.424
  end: 1075.766
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He’s just the most simple thing, and that’s not going to be simple to understand.
  zh: 祂就是最单纯者，而这并不代表祂很好懂。

  end: 1085.174
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: He’s not composed of parts or doesn’t change; He is the source of all change but does not undergo change Himself.
  zh: 祂没有部分，也不变动；祂是一切变化的根源，但祂自己并不改变。
- start: 1085.174
  end: 1093.662
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: That helps us to not think of God like we would as kids—like, Oh, God is up in heaven wondering what I’m doing, and He’s surprised at what I do.
  zh: 这样就避免了我们把神想成小时候那种「神在天上猜测我在干吗，并对我做的事感到惊讶」的观念。
- start: 1094.103

  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 那是一个非常拟人化的神观。
- start: 1096.843
  end: 1101.185
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: But also, it helps, I think, the convertibility of being and goodness.
  zh: 不过，我觉得这也有助于说明「存在」与「善」之间可相通的关系。
- start: 1101.185
  end: 1104.986
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Yeah, yeah, because in the classical view—let’s talk about that.

  zh: 好的，不过我能先再补充一点吗？

  zh: 好吗？

  zh: 我最终认为神跟受造物之间的根本区别就在于合成性。
- start: 1112.228
  end: 1117.89
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: I think compositeness actually helps to explain why things are contingent, and it goes right down to the metaphysical level.
  zh: 我觉得合成性实际上能解释为何万事万物具有偶然性，这可以一路追溯到形上的层面。

  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: Once you have God, whose essence just is His act of existence, there are so many advantages to this.

  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: But there are so many advantages; it secures a robust monotheism, an ultimate explanatory stopping point, and draws a really clear distinction between what is created and their Creator.
  zh: 不过，这里有太多好处；它建立起了坚定的一神论，一个终极的解释终点，也在受造物与创造者之间划出了非常清晰的区别。

  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: Traditional metaphysicians are trying to make sense of what’s in front of us, and it seems like in front of us there are good things, and they ask, Well, what is goodness?
  zh: 传统的形上学家会试着理解摆在我们面前的事物，看起来确实有许多美好的东西，于是他们会问：「那么，善到底是什么？」

- start: 1167.905

  end: 1180.994
  speaker: SPEAKER_01

- start: 1180.994

  end: 1227.518
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: So it seems like goodness is when you have the being you ought to have, and badness occurs with a lack of being.
  zh: 所以看起来，善就是当一个事物拥有它应当拥有的存在，而恶或坏则是由于缺失了应有的存在。

- start: 1232.723
  end: 1241.031
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: It’s also an attributive rather than a predicative adjective, which is just a fancy way of saying the semantic content of goodness sort of shifts and slides depending on what we’re talking about, right?
  zh: 它同时也是一种修饰性的形容词，而不是陈述性的——这只是种比较复杂的说法，意思是「善」的语义内容会因我们所讨论的对象而改变，对吧？
- start: 1241.031
  end: 1245.195
  speaker: SPEAKER_01

- start: 1268.649
  end: 1272.712
  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: And goodness really is just the actualization of potential relevant to a particular thing.

  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: God is purely actual, so it’s just going to follow from metaphysical necessity that God is purely and perfectly good, has no wrinkles, lacks privations, defects whatsoever.

  end: 1293.667
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  speaker: SPEAKER_00

- start: 1301.016
  end: 1310.165
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: The meter was calculated; there’s a bar of like iridium in France that was the standard bar, and this bar was a meter long.

- start: 1310.386

  zh: 这根尺的长度就是「一公尺」的定义。
- start: 1313.568
  end: 1315.85
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 那么，「你怎么知道那根标准尺就是一公尺呢？」
- start: 1320.193
  end: 1322.655
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Well, because it just is the standard of what it is.
  zh: 因为它本来就定义了什么是公尺长。
- start: 1322.655
  end: 1323.696
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: That’s what it is.
  zh: 它就是那样。
- start: 1323.696
  end: 1331.822
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: Now we use, I think it’s like decaying cesium atoms or something like that, so it’s more precise than the meter bar, which wasn’t exactly a meter.
  zh: 现在则改用了衰变的铯原子还是什么的，这样比原来的标准尺更精确，因为那根尺其实并不一定刚好是一公尺。
- start: 1331.852
  end: 1341.308
  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: But the point is, asking why something is good makes sense, but it doesn’t make sense to ask why God is good, because God is goodness.
  zh: 但重点是，我们询问「为什么某样东西是好的」有其道理，可是问「为什么神是善的」其实不合逻辑，因为神就是善本身。
- start: 1341.409
  end: 1343.692
  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  speaker: SPEAKER_00

  zh: 因此，神意愿那些好的事物既不是随心所欲，也不受制于神之上的什么东西；而是神依照祂的本性行事，对吧？

  en: So the way we split the dilemma, using Plato’s language, is not that we only have two choices to say, Is something good because God wills it?
  zh: 所以，借用柏拉图的说法，我们拆解这两难的问题时，并不是只能在「神意愿某事物所以它是善」和「因为它是善所以神意愿该事物」这两者中选一个。

  speaker: SPEAKER_00
  en: The way you split the dilemma is that God wills it because He is good, or He is goodness itself.
  zh: 真正的破解方式是：神意愿它，因为神祂就是善，祂就是善本身。

  speaker: SPEAKER_01
  en: And so naturally, what He wills automatically will be good in that respect because if God just is perfect goodness and just is the divine will and just is immutable and necessary being, then there could be no question of God willing in accordance with some standard of goodness independent of Him or being arbitrary because God just is the subsistent good itself, right?
  zh: 所以，祂所意愿的一切，自然就会是善。因为倘若神就是圆满的善本身，且是那永恒不变且必然的存在，就不可能有一个独立于神之外的善标准来衡量祂，也不可能是任意而行，因为神祂自己便是独立自存的善，对吧？
