Excerpt from La Science Et la Religion: Réponse à Quelques Objections
A la vérité, il y était question, sinon de la banqueroute en tout cas des failli tes que la Science a faites a quelques-unes au moins de ses promesses; mais je n etais pas le premier qui se servit du mot, et dix autres avant moi l'avaient publiquementprononcé. J'y loua15, comme je pouvais, la' généreuse 1mtiative ou l'audace apostolique du pape Léon XIII; mais bien loin d'être l'un des premiers, j'étais au contraire l'un des derniers aile Afaire et, à cet égard, je n'a1 qu'un regret, qui est d'avoir tr0p at tendu. Enfin, très sommairement et trèsdis crètement, j'insinuais que le christianisme, en dépit de nos savants ou de nos exégètes, est encore, est toujours uij1e force, avec la quelle on doit compter; et il me semblait ne faire là que constater ce que l'on appelle une vérité 01 evidence. Rien de tout cela n'é tait bien neuf ni bien extraordinaire.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book pits traditional religion against the rampant intellectualism and rapid scientific progress of the 19th century. In a changing world where the church's authority had been consistently dwindling, Pope Leo XIII attempted to reconcile these contrasting ideologies. The author contends that science had promised to better humanity but failed to deliver on many of those promises. In fact, the author argues that science has brought us further from understanding the true nature of our existence. Only a return to spiritualism and the teachings of the church, the author claims, can help us understand the questions science has failed to answer about our origins, our purpose, and our destiny.
