The God whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals. No particular results then, so far, but only an attitude of orientation, is what the pragmatic method means. I myself believe that the evidence for God lies primarily in inner personal experiences. We patch and tinker more than we renew.
Truth happens to an idea.
It becomes true, is made true by events. Its validity is the process of its validation. Pluralism lets things really exist in the each-form or distributively. So long as antimilitarists propose no substitute for war's disciplinary function, no moral equivalent of war, analogous, as one might say, to the mechanical equivalent of heat, so long they fail to realize the full inwardness of the situation. The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal.
