Description
Summary:One of the most hopeful signs of the time is the interest of scientists in religious matters. The old antagonism between scientist and theologian continues, but it is largely due to mutual misunderstanding. There is a theology growing up that is thoroughly scientific, and, as this article shows, there is a scientific attitude which is really sensitive to religion. This growing reconciliation lies both in method and in content of thought. Any theology that is unsympathetic to the procedure and discoveries of science is doomed to become an obscurantism which will breed irreligion among thoughtful persons.
