Excerpt from La Part des Croyants dans les Progrès de la Science au Xixe Siècle, Vol. 2: Dans les Sciences Naturelles
Or, après enquête, nous avons l'impression que la pensée de M. Sorel est exacte les naturalistes sont moins généralement religieux que les autres savants. La phrase d'a. De la Rive donne à sup poser qu'ils ne le sont pas seulement moins, mais qu'ils le sont peu, et par exception. En cela il se trompe, du moins S 'il s'agit des grands naturalistes, de ceux qui comptent. Et S'il s'agit des plus grands, de ceux qui ont ouvert a la science les voies larges du progrès, des initia teurs alors, les faits nous montreront qu'ici en core la plupart ont été des, croyants.
