RELIGION AND SCIENCE
Sir.-May I add a postscript to the discussion on August 1, "Can a scientist be a Christian’? Scientists\ are working towards the core of all existence, call it what ‘you will. Christians are working towards Christ. Secular history of His time shows that this young’ man, Jesus of Nazareth, used the natural elements which scientists are gradually mastering. The. character of Jesus’ of Nazareth is recognised by scholars, whether Christian or not, to have been honourable and upright, what is called "good." Also there is noticeable lack of ostentafion and no love of the limelight. Yet this young man claimed to be equal with the Creator or core — whatever you will. He had control over the elements which scientists are learning to use. If scientists are working towards the power at the back of all creation and Christians are working towards Christ it seems natural that scientists: should be Christians.
