Signs of the Times

John Merle Coulter with contributions from Stanley A. Cook, Worth M. Tippy, Arthur E. Holt

[John Merle Coulter, Ph. D., in The Biblical World]

A little over twenty years ago, Andrew D. White published a work, entitled "History of the Warfare of Science against Theology." This title suggests the fact that the representatives of science and of religion once occupied hostile camps. ...

There were sharp conflicts now and then between the representatives of science and of theology, with the usual result that each party was more firmly convinced of its own opinion. This situation has changed completely, and the hostile camps have become allies in a great cause. Religion has discovered that science is honestly searching for the truth, and science has discovered that the Christian religion has a scientific basis. It seems strange to us now that two groups, each searching for the truth in its own way, should have come into conflict. It was certainly unscientific to deny religious truth, just as it was irreligious to deny scientific truth. Truths are not contradictory. If claimed truths are contradictory, then the truth is not clear. [Stanley A. Cook, M. A., in The Hibbert Journal]
