Boston:: Pilgrim Press,, 1924. Hardcover; spine gilt quite rubbed; otherwise, condition good.. + 5pp. `Joint Statement.' Millikan (1868-1953), son of a Congregational minister; awarded Nobel Prize in Physics (1923). His views on Science vs. Religion controversy of mid-19th century--still rampant in the 21st--finds they supplement, not oppose each other: Science develops knowledge of facts, laws, & processes of Nature; Religion develops consciences, ideals, & aspirations of mankind. He decries both sides' narrow-mindedness that condemns the other as medieval or irreligious when those are not the facts. ||| At end, affirmative Joint Statement upon Relations of Science & Religion, signed by 45 leading Protestant clergy, scientists, & men of affairs.
