SCIENCE NOT AT CONFLICT WITH

SPIRITED REPLY TO PROFESSOR JULIAN HUXLEY.

Home papers are still discussing | firm foundation of despair."

Father F. Woodcock; S.J., universe. Possibly he is tempera M.O., makes in the course of the meatally an optimist. (... following article in the Evening Mr. Huxley has invented are Standard a spirited reply to a sugligion without God," because ho be gested "Religion Without God," lieves that the present and future put forward by Professor Julian generations have been deprived of Huxley, a grandson of the famous belief in God by the advance of Victorian froo thinkor. He writer: scientific knowledge. The main question then is-Can a scientist to-day be a minoro thaist? If he can, there is no need to produce the caricature of religion offered us by Professor Huxley.

That man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopea, bria fears, his loves and his be Hofs are but the outcome of ae- cidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve an individual beyond the grave: that all the labours of the ages, all duvotion, all inspiration, all the neonday brightness of human. genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar sys feu, and that the whole temple of inni's achievement must inevitably, be buried beneath the debris of universo in ruins all these things, if not quite beyond dispute, are yet so nearly certain, that na philo

Iden of Creation.

The God of theism is a God Creator. Professor Huxley's dis tinguished grandfather, speaking of

creation" in his "Lay Sermons" (p. 948) was very emphatic in his contempt for the mentality of any scientist who included the iden of! creation in his explanation of the universe. "That such a verbal hocus pocus should be received as science will one day be regarded as evidence of the low state of intel ligence in the nineteenth century," was his view.

Yot elsewhere this eminent "Creation. is Victorian admits: perfectly conceivable, and therefore no one can deny that it may have happened."

of that age, Lord Kolvin, refused Yet one of the greatest scientists

to be mute on the question."Do not be afraid of being free-think- ers," he said. If you think strongly enough you will be forced by resence to the belief in God, which is the foundation of all re. ligion. You will find science not antagonistic but helpful to re- ligion."

The verbal hocus-pocus !! of creation has recently recurred, as scientific conclusion reached by Sir James Jean. It would seem that the science of to-day has had to resurrect the God Creator Whom Victorian materialism, was alleged to have slain..
