Excerpt from The Conflict of Truth
"It is and incredible hypothesis that there are two orders of truth, in absolute and everlasting opposition." - Herbert Spencer.
Some explanation, if not apology, is doubtless due from one who ventures to offer to the public a yet further attempt to vindicate the claims of Religion against the aspersions which have been so freely cast upon her by the votaries of Science. So much has already been written upon the subject of the reconciliation of the two "Great Irreconcilables," that nothing short of a claim to genuine novelty can warrant any further intrusion upon the public attention. With the greatest thinkers of the age ranged upon either side of an intellectual arena which, though large, can scarcely be called unlimited, it may well be thought that Religion and Science have alike said their last say upon the questions at issue, at all events until some totally new scientific discovery shall arise, to add fresh fuel to the smouldering flames of the controversy.
Now, in this opinion I do not share. With all the apparent probabilities of the case against me, I yet venture to ask for the ensuing pages a patient perusal, on the distinct ground that they contain something new. I claim that the materials upon which I propose to base my argument have never been used for this purpose before.
