RELIGION & SCIENCE
THE OUTLOOK OF HUMANITY. “On Christian and on scientific principles alike —I prefer, of course, to modern scientific principles—there is nothing to indicate that there will ever be a millennium in this life on earth." writes Sir Richard Tute in the "Hibbert Journal.” "On Christian principles the kingdom of heaven is not of this world. On scientic principles reality is not of this world. Therefore, if there is an ultimate reality, an ultimate reward, as the Christian religions teaches, it cannot be of this world. It is indeed curious how the evidence converges. This world is the preparation for an ultimate reality. What that reality is like neither reason nor science can tell us. Religion tells us that it is worth striving for, and most men have an intuition that religion is right."
