134 THE UNIVERSE 



ture knew anything about astronomy, chemistry 

 or geology, or ever considered anything but the 

 unity and harmony of the whole universe, which 

 includes science, religion and philosophy, one and 

 inseparable, as God and nature are inseparable. 



Mr. Cope Whitehouse, a New York scientist, says 

 of present science: "The only fact established be- 

 yond doubt regarding suns and planets is their 

 revolution on their axes, and this is all that is 

 needed to generate light and heat. They are arc 

 dynamos, and each in turn transmits what it re- 

 ceives to its neighbor on the circuit." This is well 

 stated and shows that nine-tenths of the accepted 

 facts and theories of science are mere guesswork, 

 founded upon conjectures of some eminent scientist 

 who was accepted as authority a hundred years 

 ago. And the standard scientific works have prop- 

 agated them as scientific facts. 



It is a fact apparent to all well informed students 

 that astronomy, physics and chemistry at present are 

 in a chaotic condition that nearly all the scientific 

 facts and theories established for two hundred years 

 are now in a state of uncertainty and are virtually 

 overthrown by recent discoveries. 



The recent discovery of radium seems to overturn 

 the rock-ribbed scientific theory of the conservation 

 of energy, and raises many new questions in regard 

 to the nature of light and heat. 



Lord Kelvin, recognized as the highest authority, 

 says: "It threatens to overthrow the doctrine of 

 the correlation of forces." If the scientists would 

 accept the electric theory of creation, its explana- 

 tion would not be so difficult, for radium seems 

 to be a bundle of electric ions or corpuscles which
