: God in Science.



Immeasurable Realities Must Be
Considered With Sci- .
'. entific. Law.

“Would that ‘we might find God’
the’ age-old plea of mankind,” said oe

Mather on Thursday evening, “Modern
college-trained youth phrase it differ-
they, say ‘Is theré.a God?’”
Primitive people pelieve in animism
and think that each® inanimate object is
animated by a. spirit, usually evil. Be-
fore long people discover that they’ are
in.a wotld of law and order, and: then

this stage one supreme God ‘4s believed
in;-a god who manufactured ‘the earth
and, peopl remote: placetand rested from his labor.
When He wishes He can stoop down
from this high plane and make an ad-
justment--in—the machinery... Thus, for
believers in deism, “God wills. it” ‘was a
sufficient explanation for anything.

Science and Philosophy Create Doubts.
-Then- modern, science-came—along—and
reported that telescopi¢ investigation
showed no higher plane where God,might
dwell. This means no outside interfer-
The world was truly a place of
law and order, where nothing occurred
without a cattse and that cause was al-
ways within the universe . Philosophy
also leads to doubt concerning the cor-
rectness of the deism answer. Philoso-
phers ask why the All-powerful, All-
loving, All-wise God on high permits
gnillions to be slain in warfare. Ninety
per cent”of modern atheism is not athe-
ism at—all but merely’ rebellion against
deism,; “a new distrust’ of that~ ancient
answer. . Yet we still, as_a whole, crave

J knowledge about the: heart ofthe tiri-

verse, we still seek for God.” So we turn
to science. °
Science Cannot Explain Beauty.
We. should realize the limitations of
the scientific method. Scientific’ explana-
tions cannot for instance explain the awe
one feels at any beautiful thing in na-
ture. A list of facts does not give any
impressiow-of what one feels. The whole
gives infinitely more than analysis can
reveal, is greater than the sum of its
‘parts, mathematics to the contrary. Every
thing science observes is related. to pre-
cise measurement, yet there are realities
that cannot, be measured ; they have to be
experienced rather than observed. These
immeasurable realities count greatly in
life although science disregards them,
