Excerpt from The Origin of Life: A Reply to Sir Oliver Lodge A Little work that has been recently issued by Sir Oliver Lodge, one of the most gifted physicists in this country, affords an instructive commentary on the opinion that the conflict between science and theology is over. The thoughtful reader cannot but see that such an opinion is a very superficial estimate of the relation of these two great branches of thought. That theologians contrive to persuade themselves of so desirable a consummation is not a matter of surprise, nor can we wonder that even Agnostic men of science, eager to save their valuable special research from the hampering complication of this conflict, frequently express, though on very different grounds, a somewhat similar opinion. The discerning observer who stands outside both camps cannot fail to see that the truce is a hollow one. If the fundamental doctrines of theology are to be held in any other than a figurative sense, they demand for their base a spiritual universe that is not an evolution or an outcome of visible nature.
