SCIENCE AND RELIGION
NO ANTAGONISM DECLARATION BY DISTINGUISHED AMERICANS By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright. Received May 27, 10.30 p.m. WASHINGTON, May 26. A group of forty distinguished American scientists and clergymen published a statement holding that there was no antagonism between science and religion, a subject which during the past year has aroused bitter and widespread controversy. It was chiefly led by Mr Bryan on the question of evolution. Two Cabinet officers, Messrs Hoover and Davis, are among those who signed the statement, which points out that the beliefs that religion to-day stands for mediaeval theology, and that science is materialistic and irreverent are false. The statement is a direct answer to antievolutionists, in that it points out that science is a sublime conception of God, revealing Him through countless ages, developing the earth as an abode for man.—Aus.-N.Z.
