Synopsis
Excerpt from Knowledge and Faith: And Other Discourses
At present these two powers, Faith and Knowl edge, stand face to face with lowering looks and an gry voices. Faith calls knowledge an upstart and intruder, wilful, overbearing, impudent, a rude bar barian forcing its way into the temple, with sacrile gions weapons to break the holy images, with unhal lowed feet desecrating the sacred precincts. It asks questions it has no right to ask, and gives answers it has no right to give. Its method is mechanical; its aim low and near; its results barren and fallacious. Science calls faith an unauthorized occupant of ter ritory that belongs to another; it can know nothing, only conjecture; it has no foothold on certainty; it cannot in any particular say It is, only Perhaps it is. Its methods are loose; its aim is visionary; its results are dreams. The welfare of man, we hear on all sides, depends upon knowledge, and knowl edge is acquaintance with things as they are, with visible and tangible phenomena.
