Today politicians have no ability

如今的政客們無能

to solve any problems

不能解決任何問題了

because they're not students of behavior

因為他們不瞭解人的行為

they're not students of agriculture, oceanography.

他們不瞭解農業 海洋

They know nothing about the factors that operate the world.

他們對如何調控好這個世界的因素一無所知

So, they say things that people like to hear

所以 他們只說些人們愛聽的話

and that gets them elected.

這樣他們就當選了

Now, scientists, on the other hand, are not concerned with public approval.

如今科學家們 從另一角度來說 並不在意公眾的認同

What they do, even if everybody on Earth believed the Earth was flat

他們做的是 即使所有人都相信地球是平的

they would say, "You're wrong. This is the evidence we have

他們還是會說:"你們錯了 看看這些證據

to support the fact that the Earth is round."

But they don't say

it carried smaller particles

你只需帶一袋子錢

and it was easier to represent

這可以很方便的代表

apples or tomatos or eggs

蘋果 蕃茄 雞蛋

by giving a person a coin

只需要給一個人貨幣

instead of bringing 50 eggs and chickens.

而不是要帶50個雞蛋和雞去交換

Money represented a value

錢代表一種價值

agreed upon to diminish the lugging around of heavy objects.

得到人們的同意以減少到處攜帶重物的麻煩

Later it became the most corrupting medium in the world.

如果你想要一個國會議員為自己做事

He made the Earth, I think he took six days

那個人花了六天創造了地球

on the seventh day he rested.

第七天他休息

If it took six days, it means it was turning while he was making it

如果花六天時間 就意味著當他在創造萬物時 地球是已正在運轉的

because you couldn't have a day.

但你要去創造時間 因為並沒有時間存在

And that must have been pretty rough to handle the thing while it was turning.

所以當地球一面正在運轉 而一面又去處理事情一定相當困難

我糊塗了 當他們對我說:"上帝愛每一個人"

This is not a just God.

這不是公正的"上帝"

It's a man made God.

這是人自己造出來的上帝
