Description

This book, completed in 1952, is about using logical, "creative thinking in a creative universe," and if man can "put away childish things," he "becomes at home in one universe." David Reid Hodgin expresses the view that religious "dogma...has been like a blank wall against progress," ... and "is incompatible with the modern spirit," and that "no faith can stand long except on the hard rock of facts." He believes that religious "magic and ritual have...given way to reason and science," and that subjective "poetry and [objective] science have replaced ritual and magic." He states that "religions look to the past," and that "science is oriented toward the future," and that, "religion must be poetry," not supernaturalism, "to be acceptable to the modern mind." "This is creative thinking in a creative universe," and it is "a poor faith which...isolates man from his fellows - we have had too much of it." In this book, Hodgin emphasizes that the sciences have, "emancipated themselves from the supernatural," and that science is "a noble desire for unity and truth," and that the true scientist is "the most religious of all men known to history." Through quotations from the greatest minds the world has known, we learn that "truth can never be a fixed formula," for "truth itself must evolve," and that "the pursuit of truth is the great endless adventure," but "the meaning must be found in the act of living." We also learn that "it is now disruptive and dangerous for men... to stand righteously in the way of advancing knowledge." The Appendix includes tributes to David Hodgin from admirers John Idol, Walter Boone, Cratis Williams, David Madden, and Susan Parker. Book jacket.
