National Review
During the past week the correspondence columns of our senior morning contemporary have been devoted to a controversy on the subject "Science and Religion," in which local representatives of various schools of thought have expressed various and diverse views. It is notable that every one of these authorities has treated his subject from the point of view that science has little if anything to do with religion, and vice versa, and that each and every one of them appears to have overlooked the true meaning of the word science, which is, "truth ascertained and capable of demonstration," and not simply an exact knowledge of material as distinct from artistic principles. Unless religion embraces the science of life—the knowledge of how to live, and not of how to die—it degenerates into a superstition in which tradition and an idolatry, all the more pernicious on account of its outwardly reverent nature, exert a preponderating influence. Such a "religion" will never appeal to the people of this country, and until those concerned make a radical overhaul of their ideas on this subject, we are of the opinion that the criticisms contained in the letter of "W. B. L." will be capable of infinite repetition.
