Whatever science and philosophy may do for mankind, the world can never outgrow its need of the simplicity that is in Christ.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In requiring this candor and simplicity of mind in those who would investigate the truth of our religion, Christianity demands nothing more than is readily conceded to every branch of human science.
Pure, holy simplicity confounds all the wisdom of this world and the wisdom of the flesh.
The life of Christ was a life of humble simplicity, yet how infinitely exalted was his mission. Christ is our example in all things.
I believe that not everything we humans encounter in our lives can be neatly and convincingly tucked away inside the orderly cabinetry of science.
Man's world is the planet of inexperience.
Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.
However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible.
A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.
Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great.
Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life.
