83. lappuse - Yet I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns.
51. lappuse - The purpose of science is to develop without prejudice or preconception of any kind a knowledge of the facts, the laws, and the processes of nature. The even more important task of religion, on the other hand, is to develop the consciences, the ideals, and the aspirations of mankind. The definition of science I think all will agree with. The definition of religion is in essence that embodied in the teachings of Jesus, who, unlike many of his followers of narrower vision, did not concern himself at...
87. lappuse - It is a sublime conception of God which is furnished by science, and one wholly consonant with the ideals of religion, when it represents Him as revealing Himself through countless ages in the development of the earth as an abode for man, and in the age-long inbreathing of life into its constituent matter, culminating in man with his spiritual nature and all his God-like powers.
40. lappuse - It very often happens," says Augustine, in commenting upon the entire distinctness from his point of view of the two great lines of thought, the natural and spiritual, "that there is some question as to the earth or the sky, or the other elements of this world . . . respecting which one who is not a Christian has knowledge derived from most certain reasoning or observation...
43. lappuse - The first fact which seems to me altogether obvious and undisputed by thoughtful men is that there is actually no conflict whatever between science and religion when each is correctly understood. The simplest and probably the most convincing proof of the truth of that statement is found in the testimony of the greatest minds who have been leaders in the field of science, upon the one hand, and in the field of religion, upon the other.
86. lappuse - We, the undersigned, deeply regret that in recent controversies there has been a tendency to present science and religion as irreconcilable and antagonistic domains of thought, for in fact they meet distinct human needs, and in the rounding out of human life they supplement rather than displace or oppose each other.
64. lappuse - If there be a man who does not believe, either through the promptings of his religious faith or through the objective evidence which the evolutionary history of the world offers, in a progressive revelation of God to man, if there be a man who in neither of these two ways has come to feel that there is a meaning to and a purpose for existence, if there be such thoroughgoing pessimism in this world, then may I and mine be kept as far as possible from contact with it. If the beauty, the meaning and...
79. lappuse - ... create in the communities in which you live. There is nothing new nor spectacular about that remedy any more than there is about any of the processes of growth, but these are, after all, the processes by which most of the progress of this world comes about. Secondly, I think that you, or some one else, will soon take steps to so reorganize the teaching of science in the public schools as to give a larger fraction of the pupils who go through our high schools and colleges more training, particularly...
42. lappuse - ... injecting into human society the sense of social responsibility, the spirit of altruism, of service, of brotherly love, of Christlikeness, and of eliminating as far as possible the spirit of greed and self-seeking. But I am not going to place the whole blame for the existence of this situation upon misguided leaders of religion.
70. lappuse - In so far as Newtonian mechanics was a body of experimental facts it is eternally true. The whole of Newton is incorporated in Einstein. Let the revolutionary reformer ponder well that fact.
