Show The Materialistic Doctrine Was Destroyed by the Scientists Themselves - , By EDGAR L. HEERMANCE, in "Chaos or Cosmos?" Is the world in which we live a chaos, a welter of blind forces and brutish passions? Or is it a co-operative enterprise, through which Man and God are slowly working out an order of justice and brotherhood f That ia the question men are asking, with an importunity no previou age has known. The most important event in recent Thought is the passing of Materialism as a philosophy based on scientific induction. The age-long problem of Matter has been attacked, and in a measure solved. Modem Physics has taken position which is entirely consistent with Jesus theory of a spiritual Universe. Materialism was done to death, not by the cloistered student, spinning spin-ning s net of idealism in his on brain; oot by the mPfact theol-vngn, turning his blind eye to the facts of Science, that he might fight on. Ignorant and undaunted. The materialistic doctrine, so often put forth in the name of Science, was destroyed through the further study of the scientists themselves. |
