It is entirely reasonable to suppose that religion, despite its flaws, has been one of the great humanising movements of recent European history.

 

종교가 그 결점에도 불구하고 근래 유럽 역사의 위대한 인간화 운동 중 하나였다고 생각하는 것은 전적으로 타당하다. 

 

It was religion, not secular thought, that advanced the view that nature is founded on a deep rationality.

 

자연이 심오한 합리성에 기초한다는 견해를 낸 것은 세속의 사상이 아니라 바로 종교였다. 

 

Among the greatest defenders of reason in philosophical thought were Anselm and Aquinas, who believed that since God created the universe through the Logos, the divine wisdom, the universe must be supremely rational.

철학 사상에서 이성의 가장 위대한 옹호자 중에는 Anselm과 Aquinas가 있었는데, 그들은 신이 ‘로고스’, 즉 신의 지혜를 통해 우주를 창조했으므로 우주는 분명 지극히 합리적이라고 믿었다. 

 

It is no accident that modern science took root and flourished in a basically Christian society.

 

근대 과학이 기본적으로 기독교적인 사회에 뿌리를 내리고 융성한 것은 결코 우연이 아니다. 

 

Copernicus was a canon of the Catholic Church.

 

Copernicus는 가톨릭 교회의 참사회 회원이었다. 

 

Kepler studied the heavens believing that they manifested the wisdom and beauty of God.

 

Kepler는 하늘이 신의 지혜와 아름다움을 나타낸다고 믿으며 하늘을 연구했다. 

 

Newton formulated the laws of nature in the belief that the wise author of nature must have ordered the cosmos in accordance with rational and comprehensible principles.

 

Newton은 자연의 지혜로운 창조자가 틀림없이 합리적이고 이해할 수 있는 원칙에 따라 우주에 질서를 세웠을 것이라는 믿음에서 자연의 법칙을 (체계적으로) 세웠다. 

 

An important motivating force in science is the belief that there are comprehensible, elegant and mathematically beautiful laws in nature.

 

과학에서 동기를 부여하는 중요한 힘은 이해할 수 있고, 명쾌하며, 수학적으로 아름다운 법칙이 자연에 들어 있다는 믿음이다. 

 

It did not have to be that way — unless there is a supremely rational creator.

지극히 합리적인 창조자가 존재하지 않는다면 그렇게 될 리가 없었다.
