Lying Prove Provinces

More From Huston Smith

The antagonism between science and religion, about which we hear so much, appears to me to be purely factitiousfabricated, on the one hand, by short-sighted religious people who confound a certain branch of science, theology, with religion; and, on the other, by equally short-sighted scientific people who forget that science takes for its province only that which is susceptible of clear intellectual comprehension; and that, outside the boundaries of that province, they must be content with imagination, with hope, and with ignorance
Religious Ignorance Hands
There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.
Lying Way In Life Feet
Science is like society and trade, in resting at bottom upon a basis of faith. there are some things here, too, that we can not prove, otherwise there would be nothing we can prove. science is busy with the hither-end of things, not the thither-end. it is a mistake to contrast religion and science in this respect, and to think of religion as taking everything for granted, and science as doing only clean work, and having all the loose ends gathered up and tucked in. we never reach the roots of things in science more than in religion.

A nation, therefore, has no right to say to a province: you belong to me, i want to take you. a province consists of its inhabitants. if anybody has a right to be heard in this case it is these inhabitants. boundary disputes should be settled by plebiscite.
