Religion Belongs To The Realm

Both Religion And Natural Science Require A Belief In God For Their Activities, To The Former He Is The Starting Point, And To The Latter The Goal Of Every Thought Process. To The Former He Is The Foundation, To The Latter, The Crown Of The Edifice Of Every Generalized World View.

We Are In A Position Similar To That Of A Mountaineer Who Is Wandering Over Uncharted Spaces, And Never Knows Whether Behind The Peak Which He Sees In Front Of Him And Which He Tries To Scale There May Not Be Another Peak Still Beyond And Higher Up.

There Is A Real World Independent Of Our Senses; The Laws Of Nature Were Not Invented By Man, But Forced On Him By The Natural World. They Are The Expression Of A Natural World Order.
