Religion And Science, Lectures by Joseph Le Conte. The lectures present a program to harmonize natural and revealed religion, arguing that science and theology illuminate one another rather than oppose. Le Conte, a professor of geology and natural history at the University of California, defends a personal God revealed in both Nature and Scripture, and he attempts to show that the truths of Scripture are confirmed by natural law. Across a sequence of lectures, he discusses the personality and spiritual nature of Deity, the essential attributes of God, the relation of theology to science, and the place of humanity in nature, including topics such as incarnation, unity and Trinity, probations, predestination and free will, and prayer in relation to invariable law. He employs analogies from watches, eyes, and cameras to illustrate design and intelligible contrivance, and he treats evolution and nebular hypotheses as compatible with but not constitutive of religious truth. The work exhorts a rational, pious life that honors both scientific inquiry and divine revelation.
