A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Pref ace In the life of every person, who receives a higher edu cation, in or out of schools, there is a time when there seems to be opposition between science and religion; between man-made and God-made knowledge. The struggle for reconciliation between the contending forces is not an easy one. It cuts deep into the soul and usually leaves scars that ache while life endures. There are thousands of young people in the Church to-day, and hundreds of thousands throughout the world, who are struggling to set themselves right with the God above and the world about them. It is for these young people, primarily, that the following chapters have been written. This volume is based on the conviction that there is no real difference between science and religion. The great, fundamental laws of the Universe are foundation stones in religion as well as in science. The principle that matter is indestructible belongs as much to theology as to geology. The theology which rests upon the few basic laws of nature is unshakable; and the great theology of the future will be such a one. Mormonism teaches and has taught from the beginning that all knowledge must be included in the true theology. Because of its comprehensive philosophy, Mormonism will survive all religious disturbances and become the system of religious faith which all men may accept without yielding the least part of the knowledge of nature as discovered in the laboratories or in the fields. The splendid conceptions of Mormonism concerning man and nature, and mans place in nature are among the strongest testimonies of the divine nature of the work founded by Joseph Smith, the Prophet. This little volume does not pretend to be a complete treatment of Mormon philosophy; it is only a small contribution to the subject. There is room for elaboration and extension in this field for many generations to come.
