I think that one of the most liberating experiences in my life--having been brought up as a Church of England Christian--was the time I went to China and found that more than a quarter of the human race did not have the need to believe in a personal God or a Creator. Now I view present-day cosmology with great interest.
我自小是英國國教陶養下長大的基督徒，到了中國，卻發現世界上有四分之一的人口並不必相信某個特定的神和造物主，這使我對宇宙起源論大感興趣。
