Science and Theology

Abstract

(1)SIR ARTHUR KEITH, in a foreword to his presidential address to the British Association, just published by Messrs. Watts and Co., makes a notable observation. He writes that although the outburst in the public press which followed his defence of Darwinism indicated “that Daytonism is very much alive throughout the land, and that the only science people are prepared to accept is that enshrined in the book of Genesis,” yet, that he was encouraged by the reception given to his address by the leaders of religious thought. The words in which he places this upon record are sufficiently important to quote in full:
