摘要

Pope francis has become a media superstar over the past two years, and his visit to the U.S. was a very big event. His message of compassion, his concern for the poor, and his personal humility-as well as his concerns about capitalistic greed and global warming-have struck a chord with millions of people, but how much relevance do some of Church's 2,000-year-old ideas have to the modern world, especially given that traditional Catholic teaching on abortion, homosexuality, and divorce increasingly are under attack, even with the Pope's softening stance on the latter pair. Many go so far as to say that religion is an entirely negative force and responsible for most of the violence and warfare in the world. If there were no religions, the contention goes, the whole world would be a peaceful, harmonious brotherhood. A number of scientists have bought into this argument, portraying Christianity not only as damaging, but unscientific, the superstitious remnant of a more primitive age. An example of such thinking can be found in the writings of E.O. Wilson, who has achieved worldwide fame for his work on ants and termites. Wilson is a brilliant scientist, so it is all the more striking that his views on religion are so ill-considered and unscientific, reflecting intellectual prejudice rather than careful thought.
