It Is Impossible To Make A Clear

It Is Impossible To Make A Clear Cut Between Science, Religion, And Art. The Whole Is Never Equal Simply To The Sum Of Its Various Parts.

Hitherto The Principle Of Causality Was Universally Accepted As An Indispensable Postulate Of Scientific Research, But Now We Are Told By Some Physicists That It Must Be Thrown Overboard. The Fact That Such An Extraordinary Opinion Should Be Expressed In Responsible Scientific Quarters Is Widely Taken To Be Significant Of The All-round Unreliability Of Human Knowledge. This Indeed Is A Very Serious Situation.

The Worth Of A New Idea Is Invariably Determined, Not By The Degree Of Its Intuitiveness-which Incidentally, Is To A Major Extent A Matter Of Experience And Habit-but By The Scope And Accuracy Of The Individual Laws To The Discovery Of Which It Eventually Leads.

Modern Physics Has Taught Us That The Nature Of Any System Cannot Be Discovered By Dividing It Into Its Component Parts And Studying Each Part By Itself... We Must Keep Our Attention Fixed On The Whole And On The Interconnection Between The Parts. The Same Is True Of Our Intellectual Life. It Is Impossible To Make A Clear Cut Between Science, Religion, And Art. The Whole Is Never Equal Simply To The Sum Of Its Various Parts.

There Can Never Be Any Real Opposition Between Religion And Science; For The One Is The Complement Of The Other.
