Myth 1

This week’s MEotW, which appears several times in the Mandarin Was Life Created? brochure, is “tūbiàn (tū·biàn {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden[ly]; unexpected[ly]]} · changing [→ [mutation]] 突变 突變)”, which is used to translate “mutation”. What is mutation? The English word “mutation” comes from a Latin word that means “to change”, so “a mutation” is basically a fancy way of saying “a change”, continuing a long tradtion in English of deriving words from Latin to represent scientific concepts (and computer programming concepts, etc.) that could be represented more simply with more common, already-existing English words. Wikipedia’s article on mutation provides this summary of how “mutation” is defined in the specific context of biology:

In biology, a mutation is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA.[source]

So, when considering the question of evolution vs. creation, a “mutation” is simply a change in something’s genetic code. Regarding how central mutation is to evolution theory, the Was Life Created? brochure says that mutation is the focus of what it calls Myth 1 about evolution:

English:

Myth 1. Mutations provide the raw materials needed to create new species.

Mandarin:

📖 📄 📘 Jiǎshè (Jiǎ·shè Artificial · {Setting Up} → [Hypothesis] 假设 假設) 1. Tūbiàn (Tū·biàn {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden]} · changings → [mutations] 突变 突變) néng (can 能) wèi (for 为 為/爲) xīn (new 新) wùzhǒng (wù·zhǒng {thing → [creature]} · species → [species] 物种 物種) de (’ 的) xíngchéng (xíng·chéng forming · {to come to be} 形成) tígōng (tí·gōng {carry (hanging down from the hand) → [raise]} · provide 提供) jīchǔ (jī·chǔ foundation · base 基础 基礎).

How the Expression Breaks Down

The “tū (chimney [→ [sticking out | dashing forward [→ [sudden[ly]; unexpected[ly]]]]] 突)” in “tūbiàn (tū·biàn {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden[ly]; unexpected[ly]]} · changing [→ [mutation]] 突变 突變)” literally means, oddly enough, “chimney”. Based on this traditional literal meaning, “tū (chimney [→ [sticking out | dashing forward [→ [sudden[ly]; unexpected[ly]]]]] 突)” can be used to mean “dashing forward”, which in turn can be used to mean “sudden” or “suddenly” (presumably like a chimney seems to suddenly dash forward out of the roof of a house). This is apparently the meaning that’s used in “tūbiàn (tū·biàn {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden]} · changing → [mutation] 突变 突變)”, since genetic mutations are generally not planned or expected, and thus seem, from our human point of view, to appear suddenly. Probably related to this, another expression in which “tū (chimney [→ [sticking out | dashing forward [→ [sudden[ly]; unexpected[ly]]]]] 突)” appears is “tūrán (tū·rán {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden[ly]; abrupt[ly]]} · {-ly | like that} 突然)”, which means “suddenly; abruptly”.

As for the “biàn ({change; transform [into]} 变 變)” in “tūbiàn (tū·biàn {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden[ly]; unexpected[ly]]} · changing [→ [mutation]] 突变 突變)”, it’s a well-known expression that means “change”. Another expression in which it appears is the well-known expression “gǎibiàn (changing 改变 改變)”. It also occurs in the expression “biànyì (biàn·yì changed · {to be different} 变异 變異)”, which is used in the Was Life Created? brochure, for example, in this caption of a picture in the section entitled “Evolution​—Myths and Facts” (linked to above):

English:

Mutations can introduce changes in plants​—such as this mutant with large flowers—​but only within limits

Mandarin:

📖 📄 📘 Tūbiàn (Tū·biàn {chimney → [dashing forward] → [sudden]} · changings → [mutations] 突变 突變) néng (can 能) shǐ (cause 使) zhíwù (zhí·wù planted · things → [plants] 植物) fāshēng (fā·shēng {to issue forth} · {to make to come to life} → [to have happen] 发生 發生) biànyì (biàn·yì {being changed} · {to be different} 变异 變異), lìrú (lì·rú example · like → [for example] 例如) shǐ (causing 使) huāduǒ (huā·duǒ flowers · [mw for flowers, clouds, etc.] 花朵) zhǎngde (zhǎng·de {to grow} · {to get} 长得 長得) jiàodà (jiào·dà {being compared → [comparatively]} · {to be large} → [to be larger] 较大 較大), dàn (but 但) biànyì (biàn·yì (the) {being changed} · {to be different} 变异 變異) shì (is 是) yǒu (having 有) júxiàn (limitings → [limits] 局限) de (’ 的)

It’s also noteworthy that “biàn ({change; transform [into]} 变 變)” occurs in “biànzhǒng (biàn·zhǒng changed · kind; type; variety → [mutation; variant; variety | mutant] 变种 變種)”, which is used in the Was Life Created? brochure to mean “mutant”, for example, in this caption of another picture from the section entitled “Evolution​—Myths and Facts”:

English:

Mutant fruit flies, though malformed, are still fruit flies

Mandarin:

📖 📄 📘 Biànzhǒng (Biàn·zhǒng changed · kind → [mutant] 变种 變種) guǒyíng (guǒ·yíng fruit · flies 果蝇 果蠅) suīrán (suī·rán although · -ly 虽然 雖然) xíngzhuàng (forms 形状 形狀) bùtóng (bù·tóng not · {are the same} → [are different] 不同) le ({to completion} 了), dàn (yet 但) réngjiù (réng·jiù still · {(as in the) past} 仍旧 仍舊) shì (are 是) guǒyíng (guǒ·yíng fruit · flies 果蝇 果蠅)

How Myth 1 Breaks Down

As just the picture captions quoted above show, Myth 1 about evolution, that mutations can power evolution, is truly a myth, not a fact. Of course, the Was Life Created? brochure contains much related information in addition to just these quoted picture captions. Indeed, the Mandarin Was Life Created? brochure uses some interesting expressions in relation to the demonstrated erroneousness of this first myth concerning evolution. Perhaps this blog will consider one or more of these expressions in the future.

Also, the Was Life Created? brochure and the Origin of Life brochure are now in the Teaching Toolbox section in the JW Library app. So, it would be good to consider some of the expressions used in the Mandarin versions of these publications that can be so helpful when discussing whether life was created.

Feeling Unqualified?

Whether or not a Creator exists is one of the first questions that needs to be settled in order for one to make spiritual progress, and these days, much scientific or technical information, both accurate and inaccurate, is available in connection with this question. So, it would be good for us to try our best to get conversant with such scientific or technical information.

However, perhaps some hesitate to discuss scientific or technical subjects in their ministry (especially in their Mandarin ministry), because of feeling unqualified, or not “smart” enough. Even practising professionals in technical industries such as web or app development, etc., sometimes talk about being affected by impostor syndrome, so it wouldn’t be surprising if some of us in the Mandarin field who have neither been highly educated about science nor systematically trained on Mandarin may feel like impostors when confronting the prospect of speaking to people in Mandarin about scientific subjects.

The Bible contains many examples of ones who similarly felt unqualified to do what Jehovah directed them to do, such as Moses, Gideon, Amos, Jeremiah, etc. However, despite them feeling unqualified, Jehovah provided them with the help and support required for them to ultimately accomplish what he wanted them to accomplish. Also, David coming off victorious against Goliath is a classic example of someone who, because of Jehovah’s help, succeeded in spite of appearing unqualified from a human viewpoint.

The article “Do Not Limit Yourself​—Overcoming Feelings of Inadequacy”, from the November 2012 Kingdom Ministry, makes some good points that can help us if we feel unqualified to participate in some aspect of our God-given ministry. It’s focused on the Bible study activity in general, but the points it makes can also apply to, say, speaking to people in Mandarin about evolution and creation.

Also, some related unofficial 3-line and Pīnyīn (Pīn·yīn {Piecing Together of} · Sounds → [Pinyin] 拼音) Plus material is also available, as detailed at the tiandi.info/lc short link for Chinese language-learning resources for the Was Life Created? brochure. (Pīnyīn (Pīn·yīn {Piecing Together of} · Sounds → [Pinyin] 拼音) Plus material and a short link for the Origin of Life brochure are also in the works.)

This blog will also seek to help out by occasionally discussing expressions that appear in the Mandarin versions of the Was Life Created? brochure and the Origin of Life brochure. One such expression is this week’s MEotW, “wùzhǒng (wù·zhǒng {thing → [creature]} · species → [species] 物种 物種)”, which is used to translate the English word “species”.

Species and Kinds in Mandarin

First, what does “species” even mean in English? One dictionary gives this definition:

Biology A group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other and are usually capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.

Now, consider this footnote in the Was Life Created? brochure that discusses how “species” compares to the term “kind” that’s used in the Bible’s Genesis account:

While the word “species” is used frequently in this section, it should be noted that this term is not found in the Bible book of Genesis. There we find the term “kind,” which is much broader in meaning. Often, what scientists choose to call the evolution of a new species is simply a matter of variation within a “kind,” as the word is used in the Genesis account.

With the above in mind, note that the Was Life Created? brochure (Mandarin version © 2010, 2023-02 Printing) uses “wùzhǒng (wù·zhǒng {thing → [creature]} · species → [species] 物种 物種)” to translate “species”, and it uses the “lèi ({kind; type; class; category; genus [of]} | {resemble; be similar to} 类 類)” in “rénlèi (rén·lèi human/man·kind 人类 人類)” to translate “kinds”, as referred to in the Bible book of Genesis.

In comparison, worldly dictionaries like those that can be viewed in the Pleco app join the Was Life Created? brochure in presenting “Wùzhǒng Qǐyuán ((Wù·zhǒng {Thing → [Creature]} · Species’ → [Species’] 物种 物種) (Qǐ·yuán {Rising → [Starting]} · Source → [Origin] 起源/原) → [Origin of Species])” as the Mandarin translation of “Origin of Species”, the famous book by Charles Darwin. Also, note that in the Mandarin translation of this passage:

The Bible word “kinds” is not a scientific term, but it seems to refer to broad divisions of life-forms. Thus, a single “kind” may include many species or varieties.

the 2021 Awake, No. 3 uses “zhǒnglèi (zhǒng·lèi {{species [of]} | {seed; strain; breed [of]} | {type [of]}; {kind [of]}} · {kind; type; class; category; genus [of]} 种类 種類)” to translate “species”, and it follows the current Mandarin New World Translation Bible (nwtsty) in using “lèibié (lèi·bié kind; type; class; category; genus · differentiated → [classification; category; kind] 类别 類別)” to translate “kinds”. (Compare Genesis 1:24, 25 in English and Mandarin.) Also, in case you ever encounter “pǐnzhǒng (pǐn·zhǒng product · variety → [breed; strain; variety] 品种 品種)”, that’s what this issue of Awake! uses to translate “varieties”.

Also, the Was Life Created? brochure and the Origin of Life brochure are now in the Teaching Toolbox section in the JW Library app. So, it would be good to consider some of the expressions used in the Mandarin versions of these publications that can be so helpful when discussing whether life was created.

How It Started

For most of human history, people in general believed that life was created. Of course it was, because how else could the wonderful, extraordinarily complex thing that is life have come into existence? The very first part of the Bible contains an account of how God created life, and many ancient peoples had their creation myths. (The ancient Chinese seem to have had several creation myths.) Eventually, though, the idea represented in English by the word “evolution” and in Mandarin by this week’s MEotW “jìnhuà (jìn·huà {to advance} · transforming → [evolution] 进化 進化) lùn (discussing → [theory; doctrine] 论 論)” came to grow in popularity in this world that’s alienated from God.—Ephesians 4:17, 18.

Screenshot of the CHS+Py _Was Life Created?_ brochure on the Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY, with _“Jìnhuàlùn”_ circled

How It Breaks Down

The “jìn ({advance; enter [into; in]} 进 進)” in “jìnhuà (jìn·huà {to advance} · transforming → [evolution] 进化 進化)” is also used in “jìnbù (jìn·bù {advancing [of]} · steps → [progress[ing]; advancing; improvement] 进步 進步)”, and it means “to advance”.

The “huà (change; transform; convert [→ [melt; dissolve; thaw | abbr. for huàxué (chemistry)]] 化)” in “jìnhuà (jìn·huà {to advance} · transforming → [evolution] 进化 進化)” is also used in “qiánghuà (qiáng·huà {to be strong} · transform → [strengthen] 强化 強化)” (“strengthen”), and it basically means “to transform”. Interestingly, this “huà (change; transform; convert [→ [melt; dissolve; thaw | abbr. for huàxué (chemistry)]] 化)” also occurs in “wénhuà (wén·huà {(with) writing} · transformed (system) → [culture] | {(with) writing} · transformed → [cultural] 文化)” (“culture”), which seems to literally mean “(system) transformed by writing”.

As for the “lùn (discussing → [theory; doctrine] 论 論)” in “jìnhuà (jìn·huà {to advance} · transforming → [evolution] 进化 進化) lùn (discussing → [theory; doctrine] 论 論)”, it basically means “to discuss”, as it does in “tǎolùn (discussing [→ [discussion]] 讨论 討論)”, and it can effectively mean “theory; doctrine”.

On one level, then, the way that the expression “jìnhuà (jìn·huà {to advance} · transforming → [evolution] 进化 進化) lùn (discussing → [theory; doctrine] 论 論)” works is that it’s “the theory of transforming to advance”.

How It’s Going

A while ago, I saw a video on the Internet in which the presenter pointed out that in science, “theory” does not mean the same as it does in regular usage. As Wikipedia summarizes in its article on scientific theories:

A scientific theory differs from a scientific fact or scientific law in that a theory explains “why” or “how”: a fact is a simple, basic observation, whereas a law is a statement (often a mathematical equation) about a relationship between facts and/or other laws. For example, Newton’s Law of Gravity is a mathematical equation that can be used to predict the attraction between bodies, but it is not a theory to explain how gravity works.[source] Stephen Jay Gould wrote that “…facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world’s data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts.”[source]

The meaning of the term scientific theory (often contracted to theory for brevity) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from the common vernacular usage of theory.[source][source] In everyday speech, theory can imply an explanation that represents an unsubstantiated and speculative guess,[source] whereas in a scientific context it most often refers to an explanation that has already been tested and is widely accepted as valid.[source][source]

How It Could, and Will, End Up

Note, though, the statements that follow in that Wikipedia article:

The strength of a scientific theory is related to the diversity of phenomena it can explain and its simplicity. As additional scientific evidence is gathered, a scientific theory may be modified and ultimately rejected if it cannot be made to fit the new findings; in such circumstances, a more accurate theory is then required.

Yes, while a scientific theory like evolution may be considered by some to be having some evidence supporting it, in true science, it may also end up being disproven and thus rejected after new evidence comes to light. As suggested by the basic meaning of the “lùn (discussing → [theory; doctrine] 论 論)” in “jìnhuà (jìn·huà {to advance} · transforming → [evolution] 进化 進化) lùn (discussing → [theory; doctrine] 论 論)”, a scientific theory is an ongoing discussion, not a sealed, unalterable conclusion.

Let us be positive and courageous then, in discussing with Mandarin-speaking people the evidence presented in the Shēngmìng Láizì Chuàngzào Ma? ((Shēngmìng Life 生命) (Lái·zì Came · From 来自 來自) (Chuàng·zào Initiating · {Making, Creating} → [Creating] 创造 創造) (Ma [? ptcl for “yes/no” questions] 吗 嗎)? → [Was Life Created? (lc)]) (Was Life Created? (lc)) brochure and in the Shēngmìng de Qǐyuán—Zhíde Sīkǎo de Wǔ Ge Wèntí ((Shēngmìng Life 生命) (de ’s 的) (Qǐ·yuán {Rising → [Starting]} · Source → [Origin] 起源/原)—(Zhí·de Worth · Getting → [Worth] 值得) (Sī·kǎo {Thinking About} · Examining 思考) (de ’s 的) (Wǔ Five 五) (Ge [mw] 个 個/个) (Wèn·tí Asking · Subjects → [Questions] 问题 問題) → [The Origin of Life​—Five Questions Worth Asking (lf)]) (The Origin of Life​—Five Questions Worth Asking (lf)) brochure. If the ones we speak to are truly scientific people, as well as being humble people, they will consider the evidence with open minds, and not just dogmatically stick to believing in evolution simply because it’s a currently accepted scientific theory.
