Is truth The word "science" is defined in the dictionary as "knowledge gained and verified by exact observation and correct thinking." Which is an- I other way ot saying "truth." Whenever anybody tries to twist the facts of science to conform to a political philosophy , or a religious creed he is waging war on truth. There is a lot of that sort of warping the truth to fit preconceived theories going on in the world today. That is why the American Association" for the Advancement of Science, at its mid-winter convention, invited the British Royal Society to join with it in setting up a "Court of Wisdom" representing the free nations of the world. The purpose is to j propagate truth and fight every at- ' :empt to prevent the teaching of' science uncolored by political or religious propaganda. Many nations, numerous political todies, are dictating today what shall md shall not not be taught as truth, rhe action of the American Association is a new declarirtion of intellectual freedom from political restraint. FREEDOM .... of belief Everybody is, or ought to be, absolutely free to believe anything he svants to believe, and to try to con- ; ^ert others to his belief. But no map 5r social group should have power to compel the teaching of beliefs ivhich are contrary to the proven truths of science, or to prohibit the teaching of scientific knowledge. Many people still believe-the world s fiat. * Certain religious sects refuse . :o accept the scientific fact that it! s rouhd. The whole church refused ! :o accept Galil^o'^ first dernonstra- j jon ot the ahfpe of the earth, and j kwrcedhlm to recast Qnly'; a dozen ; fears ago the intgbgeat w^rid mm, shocked and amused by the of, i Tennessee school teacher for teach- J ,ng the truth about evolution, con- ! Lrary to a state law which under:ook to deny a proved scientific fact. | Such conflicts between knowledge \nd authority are not new. They*1 ?an do incalculable harm. To teach listory by sprressing f^t? ^hiqh j night lessen the glpfy of a national j iero, or to reject as untrue a new scientific discovery because it was ; nade by someone of a different re- ] igion is little short of criminal. rRUTH . ? . r fh#ttera fear < The truth is that most people are j ifraid of the truth. Human nature 3refers to live with its comfortable ielusions about the world and its 4 nechanisxn,' rather than be disturbed by the revelation that things we have always believed are hQt true. One result of our reluctance te be* 1. .u.aiiAn 4 .1114V.A {ji neve hdq ucL'cpi ???v ^ that most of us live under the shadow of needless fears. The savage who believes in the power of malevolent unseen spirits invoked by the medicine man is the victim of the same sort of fear wlifch many people who call themselves civilized have of sitting in a draft or getting their feet wet. The trouble with most of us is that we have absorbed a lot of halfiruths, which are often more terrifying than utter ignorance. If every body knew the whole truth about the world we live in and how to live in it we would all be rid of the illusions which make us unhappy. "Ye sha/ know the truth and the truth shall set you free." RELIGION .... and science I often h&r people spean of "the conflict betVien science and religion." There is no such conflict, if one understands both. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, one of the greatest scientists in the world, says that science and religion go hahd in hand. Both are concerned with truth and , truth alone. . Religion is, in essence, a rule of life, a guide to right living. It ^?i? ai?4. . # evil., evil i6cicnt?b uicti ii v/i*v ? , consequences will follow to himself | or to others, while if he lives by the rules of his religion he will gain j health, pontenfenehk pentfort and j eventual happiness. Science does not | dispute any of those fundamental truths of religion, but rather tends; to prove them true by discovering why and how good or evil effects' .
