More From Hans Selye

The church demonstrated the falsity and folly of darwin's theories by showing that they contradicted the mosaic account of creation, and now that the theories of darwin having been fairly established, the church says that the mosaic account is true because it is in harmony with darwin. now, if it should turn out that darwin was mistaken, what then?

A chinese paleontologist lectures around the world saying that recent fossil finds in his country are inconsistent with the darwinian theory of evolution. his reason: the major animal groups appear abruptly in the rocks over a relatively short time, rather than evolving gradually from a common ancestor as darwin's theory predicts. when this conclusion upsets american scientists, he wryly comments: "in china we can criticize darwin but not the government. in america you can criticize the government but not darwin."

One of the worst things anybody can do is assume. i think fools assume. if people have really got it together, they never assume anything. they believe, they work hard, and they prepare- but they don't assume.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
Anything, even the conceptually most complex material, can be written for general audiences without any dumbing down. of course you have to explain things carefully. this goes back to galileo, who wrote his great books as dialogues in italian, not as treatises in latin. and to darwin, who wrote the origin of species for general readers. i think a lot of people pick up darwin's book and assume it must be a popular version of some technical monograph, but there is no technical monograph. that's what he wrote. so what i'm doing is part of a great humanistic tradition.
