Science Has Thrown Light on Connecting Link Between Life and Death By PROF. C. LOVATT EVANS, Famed Physiologist. As many of our religious and philosophical beliefs are undoubtedly fulfillments of wishes I feel that it ultimately amounts to our decisions being dependent upon our individual temperaments or personal physiological physi-ological make-up. Science has made it possible to link up some of the phenomena of life with the phenomena of the nonliving, and thus approach the connecting connect-ing link between life and death. Matter, energy, time, and space are in the melting pat, and out of it will come we know not what kind of strange . relations one to another. Of one thing we may be sure, no final explanation explana-tion will, follow. Implicit in the very potentialities of science, there is a gloomier side of the picture. Eapidly accumulating wealth of detailed knowledge demands de-mands increased specialization. Unless there is a period of intellectual stock taking there must inevitably be a loss of perspective and of grasp of great general principles.
