Sees No Conflict In Science, Religion

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International . Dr • Hugh L- Dryden is a noted scientist who serves as deputy chief of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He is also a licensed lay preacher in the Methodist Church. As a man who is deeply involved in both worlds, he sees no “conflict” between science and religion. “Even a scientist needs religious faith,” he said in an interview. “Science has made tremendous contributions to mankind. It has penetrated the mysteries of .the material universe and freed the minds of men from igroance and superstition. “But science is a partial view of life. ..i n many respects, a narrow view.” Dr. Dryden does not accept the cliche that religious people live by “faith” whereas scientific people live by “objective” knowledge. . “The areas of knowledge which one person can explore in detail and experience for himself, even in a lifetime, are very few,” he said. — "No man could possibly live in the modern world on the knowledge he himself has mastered. He lives by faith in the results of the experience of other men, both those now living and those of past generations. “His interpretation of the universe. . .of meaning and value. . . of moral purpose. . .and his whole philosophy of life are great adventures of f aith. In scientific language, they are extrapolations from the information and insights available to him as one particular individual with a sharply limited knowledge of our universe.” Leads to Materialism Dr. Dryden said that some people “are led to a purely materialistic view” of the universe. “Others, including myself, are persuaded that in the universe there are both the material and the spiritual.” Either view, he emphasized, is necessarily held on faith, because neither can be demonstrated conclusively by the objective methods of science. Occasionally, some ' scientist will venture beyond the proper i boundaries pf his discipline and I attempt to “prove” the ma--1 teriabatis ..view of the universe. Dr. Dryden said he had read an article recently by a scientist who felt that the apparent spiritual dimensions of human existence could all be adequately explained in materialistic terms. "He was convinced,” said Dr. Dryden, "that the inner life of man—his consciousness of self, his power of thought, his con-, science, his ideals—were the -direct result of the physical and

chemical activity of the brain.” He found “proof” of this thesis in "the fact that damage to the brain destroyed some or all of the manifestations, and that drugs could excite or pacify an individual.” Dryden Ponders Argument Dr. Dryden .said he found himself thinking about this argument one Sunday morning in church “when I should have been listening to the sermon.” “It occurred to me that scientific progress has made us familiar with many realities that are not directly perceived by our own physical senses. “I recalled that at that very moment there were present within the room invisible electromagnetic waves from hundreds of radio and television stations carrying voices, music and pictures from as many distant places. ~ "Although I could not at the moment hear or see them, I knew that if a rather complex assemblage of copper, glass, aluminum and a number of other scarce materials whose very names are unknown to most of us were brought into the room and properly adjusted, any one of these programs could be selected and heard or seen.

Where An Yen? Lesson for July 21, 1963

Bible Material: Oenaaia 3 through 11. Devotional Reading: Roman* S:l2-31. THE Bible might very well begin with an essay on sin; but it does not. It begins with two stories, one of Creation and the next of Sin. Stories, not essays, make up most of the Bible, and this is a good thing. What Chris-

tian students of the Bible have been discovering in their re-study of these ancient stories is that the point is: THIS MEANS YOU! The name Adam means Man, and the name Eve means Life. There

Dr. Foreman

- is something very suggestive about this. Anyway, if we think of these stories as only legends out of the dim past, just stories to tell around campfire and hearth, we misjudge them. If we argue about when all this was, and should we take these stories literally or as parables, we are still off the beam. What we need to do is take the stories to heart Anatomy of sin One great thinker in the Christian church has said, Everybody’s middle name is Adam. What he meant was, the story of Adam is the story of every man. The story of Adam’s sin is the story of Everyman’s sin. The cause, the i " course, the cruelty, toe consequences, and the cure of sin are , all here. But the central fact • about -sin, the really dreadfid •' thing about it, is brought out by that fateful question that God puts i to Adam, frightened Adam, silent Adam, hiding from the God whose questions must be answered. Where are you? God asks. Now it is not hard to see tost this question was not asked out of God’s ignorance. God knew very well where Adam was, he knows where we all are. God asks the question to make Adam think: he had lost contact with God. God should t not have had to look for him. He 1 should have run joyfully to meet • the God who had done him good and not evil. Instead, he is in hiding, friendless, useless and afraid. Sin outs ns off That is essentially what sin is: being cut off. Adam was now separated from his Maker, out of harmony with him. He had given up trying to do what God wanted him to do. God’s interests are no longer his interests. The likeness to God (about which we were thinking a week ago) is beginning to grow dim, so that not long after that,—and right on up to now—there are descendants of the first man who look so cruel and are so wicked that any one in his right mind would say, If that’s the image of God, I don’t want any part of it. Adam was cut off in other words not only from God but from himself, his best self. Further, he was cut off from his wife. The story in Genesis tells of the joyful words of welcome when Adam sees Eve for the first time. Paradise, for both of them, is complete only when the other one, the loved one, is there to share it. Now all is changed. Adam’s only word about his wife is—“ The woman Thou gavest me, she gave me the fruit” . . . It’s all God’s fault for sending Eve, or it’s ail Eve’s fault for tempting him, it couldn’t be his own fault, oh no! When you get to the point where you won’t take responsibility for your own acts, when you blame everyone but yourself for your sins and your troubles, then you have really broken off relations with the human race. The solemn"oestlea The first question God asks of man rings like a solemn warning bell in the heart of every one some time or other. Where are you? You are here now, at this moment; but you are wherever you act, you are wherever things happen — or fail to happen — because of you. Someone perhaps might have believed in God if it had not been for you. You are there in that person’s despairing 1 cynical mind. Where are you? Results of what you say, what you do, never stop with the saying and doing. Like stones thrown Into a pond they create ripples that spread to distant shores. If an old man could realize all the evil that he caused during his lifetime, the burden of -it would be overpowering. Yet there is another and a happier side. God’s question, Where are you? reminds us that God does care what we do. He does not easily give up, He seeks men in their dark hiding places. If He demands obedience and punishes suffering, and He does, it is a sign of hope; for it shows that God takes human lives seriously ; He is not content to let men go. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

THE VALUE OF PRAYER Rev. James R. Meadows Did you pay this morning? What a bold, audacious question to ask! Os course I did; I talk with God every morning! That’s it—we talk. We chatter like tired children, asking for this and that. We do not allow God to get in a word edgeways. We talk, but we do not listen. Did you pray this morning? No, I didn’t take time. Nothing happens when I pray. Well, you are at least honest. You do not try to make yourself believe something does happen when it does not. But look at that again. Arc you really honest with yourself? Should not something happen when you pray? It happened in the life of Jesus! As he prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered. If we are to discuss intelligently the value of prayer in life, we must have a common understanding as to what constitutes prayer. Some have described it as man’s approach to God. That hardly goes far enough. Prayer is being in the presence of God, communiting with Him and waiting upon Him. We pay insurance premiums to protect our future and the future PLEASANT MILLS METHODIST Joseph Gibson, pastor Sunday School at 9:30. Divine Worship Service at 10:30.

of those who are dependent upon us. Do you have a "life insurance prayer?” Pray that He will not permit anything to happen in your life? Pray to keep in His good graces, to have Him act as a charm? Are those the benefits you expect from your prayers? Don’t Jorget, Jesus prayed, yet He was willing to suffer. One of the greatest tragedies in Christian lives is the failure of so many to appreciate the value of having quiet moments with God. Let us learn to humble and reverently commune with God and wait upon Him, accepting His blessings and trying to do His will as the sons of God.
