Excerpt from The Relation Between Religion, and Science The attempt is made in this thesis to examine the age-long problem of the interrelationship of religion and science from a new angle, namely that of psychology considered as a biological science. There is a general recognition today that the elements common to the religions and those common to the sciences are psychological. The facts of religious experience and the facts of scientific experience are so multiform that the only place to discover a common basis is in the attitudes of consciousness giving rise to these variant concrete expressions. Furthermore there is a general recognition among psychologists that the genesis of all the attitudes, including the religious and the scientific, is localizable in the instinctive behaviors of the psycho-physical organism. It seems only fair that psychologists should recognize that those best equipped to define instinctive behavior are the biologists. On the basis of a biologically acceptable definition, a sound theory of the origin of religion and science is possible. The theory proposed is that these attitudes have their roots in behavior which, while instinctive, is multiple. In proof of the contention, reference is made to many of the rites and practices of primitive peoples which are recorded in the source books on anthropology. It is the hope of the author that this effort may contribute in some small measure to the solution of a great problem.

Excerpt from On the Relation Between Science and ReligionSome time afterwards, I read in the Edinburgh Advertiser, that Napoleon Buonaparte (instigated and assisted, as I used to hear, by the devil) governed France, and governed it very wickedly and that King George III., Mr Pitt, and Lord Mel ville, governed Great Britain and Ireland - not very success fully either, for I read Of rebellion, and murders, and burnings.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

John Hedley Brooke offers an introduction and critical guide to one of the most fascinating and enduring issues in the development of the modern world: the relationship between scientific thought and religious belief. It is common knowledge that in western societies there have been periods of crisis when new science has threatened established authority. The trial of Galileo in 1633 and the uproar caused by Darwin's Origin of Species (1859) are two of the most famous examples. Taking account of recent scholarship in the history of science, Brooke takes a fresh look at these and similar episodes, showing that science and religion have been mutually relevant in so rich a variety of ways that no simple generalizations are possible.
Excerpt from Religion and Science: A Series of Sunday Lectures on the Relation of Natural and Revealed Religion, or the Truths Revealed in Nature and Scripture MY christian friends: At the urgent request of a number of gentlemen, whose judgment I highly re spect, I have been induced to commence this evening a series Of lectures on The relation Of natural and revealed religion; or, as I might otherwise express it, The doctrines of Christian belief viewed from the stand-point of science. I wish to compare the two divine books, and to show that the God revealed in the one is the same as the God revealed in the other.

Excerpt from History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science SO wide-spread and so powerful is this secession, that it can neither be treated with contempt nor with punishment. It cannot be extinguished by derision, by vituperation, or by force. The time is rapidly approaching when it will give rise to serious political results.

Excerpt from Religion and Science: Their Relations to Each Other at the Present Day I publish the following Essays as an attempt to do something for an object which seems to me of the highest importance in these days, viz. The recon ciliation of religion and science. When I do so, I feel strongly that they fall much short of accomplish ing such a reconciliation. For even if their success in dealing with the questions of which they treat should be much greater than I have any right to believe that it is, still it would be true that they did nothing as to that class of difficulties which concerns the nature and extent of the inspiration of the Bible, and the alleged discrepancies between its statements and the results of modern science and criticism. But I still hope that what I now put forward may have some value. I have endeavoured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reconciliation of Science and Religion These papers do not represent the author's conception Of a complete and systematic discussion of the relations of science and religion. They are rather separate outcroppings Of the re sults of much study and reflection, which have correlated and consolidated themselves in the author's mind in a broad under lying system Of which no Opportunity has presented itself, as yet, for a fuller exposition. In the hope that the reasonings here presented may prove helpful to young persons engaged in the serious work of fash ioning a system of belief; corrective or strengthening to those whose beliefs are matured; and admonitory to such as have left their beliefs to the control of circumstance - to student, theologian, and scientist - to all thoughtful persons, this essay toward a good understanding between religion and science is cordially and respectfully submitted.

Excerpt from The Connection Between Science and Religion: An Oration Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University, August 28, 1845 There is a wide difference between knowledge and science. Isolated facts and phenomena are the ma terials of knowledge; science ascertains their laws, relations and harmonies. Knowledge may be ac quired, retained and transmitted by any man of ordi nary powers and good memory; science is the cre ation of the few great minds, one of whom suffices to shed lustre upon an age. Of men popularly deemed scientific, and eminently so, the greater part make no contributions to the progress of science, and are incapable of aggression upon the vast domain yet unconquered. Of this class are many of those, who have great learning, write good books, and repeat difficult experiments, whose sole work is to decant old wine into new bottles, while others have planted the grapes, and trodden the wine-press. To the same class belong many of the discoverers of new facts and the inventors of new processes, - men of.
