5.Abortion or Pro-life?
5.赞不赞同流产
Does a woman have the right to control her body by ending a life inside her? When is a fetus truly alive? Is all life truly precious? What happens when a woman is raped and becomes pregnant – is that life still precious? There may never be answers to these questions; however, the government has helped us out many times by entering its own opinion whether the pro-lifers like it or not.
一个成年女性是否有权利决定她肚子里面的生命的生死?哪个阶段能被定为胎儿真正存在的阶段?是否所有的生命都是真正宝贵的?如果一名女性是因为被强奸而怀孕,那么她肚子里的生命还是珍贵的吗?这些问题也许永远不会有固定的答案,但是我们的政府已经多次帮我们解决了这个问题,并把它们自己的想法不顾支持堕胎者的意见而强加给人们。

赞不赞同流产

4.Free will or Destiny?
4.自由意志还是命运论

自由意志还是命运论

The free will or destiny argument stems back to the Christian doctrine that God is omniscient and has seen everything that will happen. So if God can see everything that happens, is it free will or destiny that makes you choose to continue reading? Some have argued that God knows you will read this but you still have a choice. However, if the path is already apparent to one being, then the path has already been decided for you. However, that directly contradicts our everyday actions where we constantly make decisions – is something, a destiny foreseen by God, guiding us or are we truly free of the strictures of destiny?
所谓的自由意志或命运论起源于基督教教义,基督教认为,无所不能的上帝能预见一切。如果真是如此,那促使你继续阅读本文的,到底是你的自由意志,还是命运?有些人认为,上帝知道你会继续读下去,但你仍然有选择权。然而,当人生之路已无比清晰时,这条路其实已经是你的命中注定了。但这却直接否定了我们不断做决定的日常行为——那么,我们究竟是受到了上帝所预见的命运指引,还是我们实则能够完全摆脱命运的枷锁?

3.Morals – Relative or Universal?
3.相对道德观还是普适道德观

相对道德观还是普适道德观

Like the question of gun control, whether ethics being morally relative or universal comes down to whether the good of the one outweighs the good of the many. If it is fine to sleep with another man's wife in one society but not in another, then the problem is that the morals are relative to the society or person. But why wouldn't it be universal that it is wrong to sleep with another man's wife or woman's husband in any society? Why is it OK to speed, when it is breaking the law? Shouldn't breaking any law be just as wrong? If you would never steal a person's purse, why would you pirate a DVD?
就像枪支管制问题一样,伦理观仅仅是道德问题还是具有普适性主要涉及个人利益是否大于多数人的利益。如果与有夫之妇偷情在一个社会是被允许的,而在另一个社会不被允许,那这里涉及到的道德问题是与个体和社会相关的。那这种偷情行为为什么不能具有普适性,在所有社会都被认为是不可取的呢?为什么即使违反法律,超速也不是什么大问题?触犯法律难道不是无论如何都是错的吗?如果你永远不会去偷别人的钱包,那你为什么又会去制作盗版光碟?

2.The chicken or the egg?
2.先有鸡还是先有蛋?

先有鸡还是先有蛋?

Perhaps one of the most fun arguments on this list, the chicken or the egg debate has raged for centuries mainly because it asks the questions does the animal evolve and then reproduce or was it hatched? That debate can then be transferred to our own existence, which leads into the argument of Evolution or Creation.
也许这是这个榜单上最有趣的争论话题之一。关于“先有鸡还是先有蛋”的争论已经风靡了好几个世纪,因为这涉及到鸡是先发展进化、再繁殖,还是由蛋孵化而来的问题。这个争论可以迁移到我们的自身存在,也导致了进化论和创造论之间长久的分歧。

1.Does God Exist?
1.上帝真的存在吗?

上帝真的存在吗?

Since the dawn of recorded time, there have been people trying to prove that there is a higher being or beings that have caused the worlds and its creation. Organized religion comes down to having faith that there is a higher being and a place to go after death. Most people, if not already deeply religious in their life, find religion and start believing as they near their twilight years because they want to believe there is somewhere to go and someone to be with. So the question is how do you prove that god, in which ever religion you believe, exists?
自从有历史记录的第一个黎明开始,就有人试图证明有比人类更高级的存在创造了现在的世界。宗教组织归根结底都信奉有这个“高级的存在”,并且人在死后都会到另一个世界去。大多数人,如果不是一开始就笃信宗教,在将近暮年时接触宗教并开始虔诚皈依,是因为他们想要相信死后还有另一个世界可去,还有同行之人。所以问题是,不论皈依什么宗教,你如何证明你所信奉的上帝是存在的?
