Chapter 1098 Science and Theology

Compared with others who were amazed by the magnificent scenery, Fen discovered something strange about the people around him in a very short period of time.

In the past, because there was always an instant messaging program between them for secret communication, and for some unknown reason──actually it was the incarnation of Fat Man that secretly and unilaterally established a connection with the original lich──Fen was there. You can sense someone's state to some extent. For example, when he was involved in a large number of complex calculations, Fen seemed to hear a small murmur that lingered.

As for the scene in front of her, even she, while admiring it, couldn't help but explore the cause of this strange scene and what kind of impact or consequences it would have. Then, from the perspective of a magician, think about whether you can do something similar.

But someone doesn't have those ideas, and he doesn't even immerse himself in complex calculations and find out the rules. Just stared blankly.

This kind of emotion is not like seeing the beautiful scenery and being intoxicated by it. Fen has never seen this man intoxicated by any kind of 'beauty', whether it is the magnificent landscape of nature or those young and beautiful women. It's more like the expressions of those who are devout believers in gods, the kind of people who make Fen feel more troublesome than fanatics.

Between devout people and fanatics, most people feel more strongly about the 'fanatics'. Because such people are relatively destructive and often use the name of God to do things that people with a normal mind would not do. But in fact, it is unknown to others how deep the faith of such people really is, or perhaps this is just a convenient excuse for them.

The former Demon King, whose goal is to completely destroy the faith in the old gods, regards fanatics as an army. At most, an army that is not afraid of death is more than enough to deal with them. After all, an army that is not afraid of death doesn't need to be too much for a lich. The 1.8 million he can pull out casually won't be a problem.

Moreover, when such people encounter life-threatening problems, people with less strong beliefs will simply abandon their beliefs that cannot save their lives. People who have deep enough faith usually blame their failure on losing the favor of the gods, and then feel frustrated about being abandoned, and then lose their faith. Only a handful of martyrs would actually cause trouble in breaking away from the Old Gods.

However, the firmness of faith of the devout people is all at the level of martyrs. They are silent and rational; they are willing to discuss and express their opinions seriously; of course, they are also willing to raise the war hammer at the most critical moment to defend their faith and gods. Such people cannot be convinced, and they were also the people that Fen found the most troublesome in the past.

Now this devout look appears on the face of the man next to him who calls himself an atheist. Fen was more surprised than disgusted. She didn't even know exactly what this man saw or what he saw that made him show such a pious and fearful expression.

For Lin, the difference between theologians and scientists was that in an era when the church controlled everything, the two were equated. Because he had no church background, he was not allowed to study science at all.

In the modern era of the earth, those real scientists, even if they are not theologians, will not deny faith. In addition to serving as spiritual sustenance, there are too many beautiful discoveries and coincidences in science, which always make people wonder whether there is really a hand in the dark that is playing with it all, and then interpreting this vast world.

Someone's current situation is such that he feels like 'it's true'. Look at the things in front of you with awe.

"Do you recognize this thing?" Fen asked after thinking for a long time and only thought of this possibility.

Lin didn't care about the injury caused by folding his hands in his sleeves. Instead, he spread his hands toward the sky and said like a magic stick: "The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe. The universe is the world we live in."

"The world we live in?" Fen looked left and right suspiciously, but couldn't figure out why. Pointing at the huge black sphere, he asked, "Do we really live in a place like this?"

"There are trillions of galaxies in a universe. The so-called galaxies are the strange light clusters you see in front of you.──"

Lin Shi put his middle fingers together, flicked it behind him, and casually drew a disk-shaped galaxy in mid-air with a whiteboard technique. And under the attention of everyone, it continues to amplify.

"──Galaxies may be large or small, but they all have at least billions of stars.──"

When the drawn out galaxy is enlarged to a certain extent, although the enlarging action continues, the scale does not expand further. Instead, it stares at a point and keeps enlarging its scene. It wasn't until I stared at a huge star that I marked the planets orbiting the star. Then zooming in continues.

"And the stars that are born along with the stars are planets. Among the countless planets in the universe, there are some that are quite special, gestating life or possessing intelligent individuals on them."

In a certain enlarged planet, atmosphere, oceans and land appeared. On land, there are undulating mountains, lush forests, and vast deserts.

In the surprised expressions of Fen, Huan and several robots and elemental creatures, Lin waved his hand to the side and lined up the planets, star systems, galaxies and the universe in the eye of the wind, so that people could intuitively recognize it. This is sorted with differences from largest to smallest. Before they could express any thoughts, Lin Xian sighed:

"I used to think that my hometown was special and I was proud of it. Now it seems that my hometown is indeed special, but it is not the only one. This should be considered a good thing. At least I know that we are not alone."

Fen, who seemed to understand, but actually had no idea whether he understood or not, suddenly thought of something and asked tangledly: "Wait a minute! If you say this is the world we live in, how is this possible?"

"Strictly speaking, this is not the world 'we' live in, but a universe with similar characteristics to the world we live in."

"That's not right. My fist is bigger than your so-called galaxy. Is this just a projection?"

Shaking his head, Lin said: "I originally thought that this was the projection of our universe. But comparing the appearance of all galaxies, there is no disk-shaped four-armed galaxy that I am familiar with. Even my calculations and inferences are mysterious. There are no elliptical galaxies on earth that are more than 99% similar. So I judge that this is another universe. As for another reason,──"

Although Lin opened his mouth, he did not finish. Instead, he stretched out his hand, as if trying to touch the eye of the wind, the miniature universe in front of him. Fan Di quickly scolded him, but when he saw a repulsive electric light appearing around the eye of the storm and flicking someone's hand away, he stopped talking.

"─You said you would let me see it in person and I would understand. I think I understand what your concerns are." Lin said to the wind element lord Fan Di.

"Oh, magician, what did you find?" Fan Di said with a hint of provocation in his tone.
