The theist and the scientist are rival interpreters of nature, the one retreats as the other advances.

You know as a scientist that both were developed completely independently of each other in the laboratories. And only afterward were the political situations contrived out of which they could be justified.
The love of nature is a different thing from the love of science, though the two may go together.
Scientists disagree among themselves but they never fight over their disagreements. They argue about evidence or go out and seek new evidence. Much the same is true of philosophers, historians and literary critics.
