This is a new approach to the study of the Articles of the old Faith which in the light of modern research proves itself to be indeed a Faith needing no apology. Here, in fact, is the meeting place of Science and Theology. To the theologian, much of science seems highly speculative. To the scientist, theology often seems speculative to the point of being irrelevant to the facts. In each branch of inquiry, a problem has been created because of ignorance of the data, method, motivation, and philosophy of the other.
Theology is based on the strictest form of logic applied to revelation.
The scientist applies his logic just as rigidly, but to the data of experiment and observation. Neither side always respects these pre-requisites, and many contradictory conclusions result through misinterpretation of the meaning of the data. But the marriage could have tremendous possibilities. Such weddings have been tried in recent years by groups of people, and proved disappointing failures. Perhaps a one-man effort to form such a union might have a better chance of success.
