LECTURE LI. 

 RELIGION AND SCIENCE. 



Prof. Wilbur W. Thoburn. 



Are they antagonistic ? 



The so-called warfare not a clash of facts, but a 

 battle between definitions. If the combatants could 

 cease fighting long enough to understand each other 

 they might end by agreement. The two-sided shield. 



The active, working men rarely stop to quarrel. 

 Neither side ever reaps any good by attacking the 

 other. 



" Science must be studied by its own means and to 

 its own ends by men trained in its methods." White, 

 " Warfare," p. 146. 



Increase Mather's mastodon bones and Huxley's 

 theology. 



Some definitions and limitations. 



Science : 



Limited only by knowledge. Includes theology. 



Not unreliable because changeable. 



Usefulness of theories. 



Theology Defined : 



Not religion any more than any other science is re- 

 ligion. 



Mischief arising from confusion here. 



Two kinds of theology as of every other science : 

 (1) stagnant; (2) progressive.
