Excerpt from Burning Questions of the Life That Now Is and That Which Is to Come
Let us take the sphere cf Science - that is, of the knowledge of the physical world, which is chiefly in men's minds when they speak of science. Must we not admit that the discoveries which have been made in it have been to us real revelations or unveilings of God, and that their spiritual results have been of very great value? The immutability of His will is shown in the reign of law, so that a lawless scepticism is rendered all but impossible. The true position of man is also made clear, so that a check is placed upon wilfulness and presumption. -Canon Feemantle.
What you want is not a system which may be adjusted to theism, nor even one which finds its most reasonable interpretation in theism, but one which theism only can account for. That, it seems to me, you have. An excellent judge, a gifted adept in physical science and exact reasoning, the late Clerk Maxwell, is reported to have said, not long before he left the world, that he had scrutinised all the agnostic hypotheses he knew of, and that they one and all needed a God to make them workable. - Asa Gray.
