SCIENCE AND FAITH

Sir,-Skepticism is a loaf: mtg, a lost cause intellectually, socially and spiritually. Certainly it can no longer command a hearing among scientists. Aldous Huxley is a member of it scientific family and a devout skeptic for years has now developed a vital religious faith. He illustrates the trend of scientific thought, the last quar- ter of it century. None of the great scientists of today can be ranked among the skeptics. Even

Bertrand Russell has begun to profess omething like faith in God and n man.

This change has come About

through the discoveries of science itself; twenty-five years ago scientists believed they had come to the hard core of ultimate be- ing, the atom, lndivisible and indestructible, as they thought. Then they discovered new and strange facts about the atom that upset all their former conclusions. The atom is not a solid body. It can be broken up and contains startling powers.

A reliable scientist. has declared: , "In all the reaches of our tele- scopes and microscopes there is nowhere discoverable the slight- est trace of any fiiend behind phenomena. Any God who cares. any principle that guarantees man's success in his struggle and endeavours. So far as the eye of

--w -- nnlverse in

which his very appearance is El . K ....t . .ucnt.” Twenty- tive ycztrs ago that was the view generally held by scientists. To-

day lhe case is different. W'e can- not rail this faitii in God. They would not call it that. It is faith in a Great First Cause. that man is not adrift on a pitiless sea of

chance. bound for nowhere. The mechanistic interpretation of the world and of man has been ex- loded.

There. is R different between scientific and Christian faith.

Many people have what may be called faith in it great First Great Cause, L2,. in scientific faith. They will tell you to a man: "I believe there is El God and I believe He has laid down laws for man's guidance," but as far as this idea is having any influence on their lives there is no evidence. That is. there is abroad in the world and in the Church what can be called practical atheism. They avknoivlcdge God in their speech but deny him in their conduct. Or as Paul puts it: "They profess that they know God but in works they deny Him." Jesus puts it better in His ques-

tion: ”Wh.v will re ins. Lord. Lord and do not the things which I say?"

If the total membcrsliip of the Church were out-and-out believerii, loyal to Jesus in His work, how strong the Church would be. How soon would the impact of her life he felt. in the world at large! Then God could work.

The story iii told that a party of newspapermen who were re- cently shown "NRX", the big re- nctor at the Chalk River nuclear fission research center, demon- strated awe when brought into the presence of The Great Mystery. To the scientists present, this un- consciously reverent attitude was amusing. . Yet the newsmen were not wholly to blame for their awed approach toward a scientific pro- cess that is almost as common to- day, and no more mysterious than. the manufacture of synthetic rub- ber. Largely to blame is the gov- ernment's concept of security with respect to nuclear fission. O I 0

Before World War II. nuclear fission research was carried on openly, and commanded little in- terest except among scientists. Pioneers like Albert Einstein and Lord Rutherford would not have dreamt of keeping their conclus- ions sccret. When it became ev- ident that nuclear fission could be used for military pnrposeii, the pendulum swung wholly the oth- er way.

Everything done in this field was for a time subject to strict security measures. Mainly this was to prevent Germany (not Russia, at that time) from obtaining knowledge useful in the develop- ment. of atomic weapons. Even the Search for uranium by independ- ent. prospectors was forbidden in Canada. '

When Deep River was establish- ed after the war as Chalk River's dormitory. the fact was for a lime kept a secret. Small wonder that the public still holds all nuclear fission research in awe.

0 . .

Yet much of this roscarcii has little more direct military signif- icance than the developmcnt of sawfly-resistant wheat. And grad- ually, the cloak of m,xstcry is be- ing removed. Geiger counters can be bought anywhere. MeGill Unl- verslty has organized a course in nuclear engineering. similar to that at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where problems in- volved in the application of nucle- ar fission to industry and allied fields will be studied. Secrecy here will, of course, be virtually im- possible.

In Europe. 11 countries have now agreed to set up an interna- tional nuclear fission research center in Geneva. The nations concerned are Britain, Belgium. Denmark, France, Holland, Italy, Norway, Sweden. Switzerland, West Germany and Yugoslavia. This sensible pooling of scientific brains and material resources will make it difficult to keep nuclear fission research a secret.

In Canada, the tendency now. in agreement with the United States and Britain. is to release

A Mystery

(Ottawa Citizen)

militarily. A great deal of fuiid- amental knowledge has been made public under this arrangement. sufficient to warrant a change in public and governmental attitudes from one of fostering a non-ex- lstent mystery to one of simple acceptance of nuclear fission an an open, normal part of 20th cen- tury life.

House of Assembly, March 16,1832:

l”A motion being made, that the bill for establishing the time amt place for holding the Supt-em. Court in King's and Prince Countles be now committed to . committee of the whole Hour.-, Mr. Cooper moved. in amendment, that the bill be read tthls day three months".

"He felt in duty bound to ill, constituents to oppose this bill. The expenses attending the estab- lishment of Circuit Courts will rs. quire for the Chief Justice, At. torney General, Clerk of up Crown, Sheriff, Jallor. and other incidental expenses. .3 tax of at least i300 a year. for the support of each Court. The attendance of seventy-twn Jurors twice in the V681”. will be a further tax of an- other i300 a year, for the Count- tics, by loss of time and expense. And Georgetown is more con- venient to Charlottetown, than I greater portion of King's County is to Georgetown, and consequent- ly the inhabitants near Georgetown have less cause for complaint than the greater part of King”: County will have. if a Court is erected in Georgetown; besides the trap: that will in time be laid for that unwary, in the shape of Public- Houses and Attorneys Offices, and the power and influence it will give to these kidnappers, will give to a point of land now of little value, by taxes, bills of sale, and mortgages, the possession of a great part. of the property nf the county; and the liberties of the people will then fall into the: hands of men nf that description. who are clothed and fed by the simplicity and loose cash of the industrious."

Mr. Cooper's amendment was negatlved on A division of 12 to 4.
