Excerpt from The Exegesis of Life
The circumstances of my life, added to the general ferment of the human mind, which seems to be in the painful throes of travail for the birth of a new truth, have impelled me to look within myself, and endeavor to find in the recesses of my own mind, if I could make anything out of that wonderful existence, of which I am a part, and which surrounds me on every side. For the last few years, I have witnessed around me, and read in the magazines and newspapers of the day, signs of a mighty controversy going on and raging between the would-be champions of truth: the theologians on one side and the scientists on the other. It has struck me, that their quarrel must prove interminable, unless they can be brought, somehow, to look at the object of their quarrel, from the same point of view, a rather difficult feat to perform, as neither, as far as I can judge, are willing to budge an inch from their respective stand-points. The theologians persist in seeing nothing but God, and nature outside of God, as the work of God; and the scientists nothing but Nature, ignoring God and refusing to see or to recognize any intelligent or guiding force in Nature.
