In strictness, this principle may be considered as already expressed by implication; since both being processes of evolution, must conform to those same general laws of evolution... and must therefore agree with each other. Nevertheless this particular parallelism is of value for the specific guidance it affords. To M.

فليعترف العلم بأن قوانينه تنطبق على الظواهر والأمورالنسبية فقط، وليعترف الدين أن لاهوته خرافة لتبرير ايمان يتنافى مع العقل. وليتوقف الدين عن تصوير الله بشكل إنسان عظيم، والأسوأ في تصويره بالقسوة والغدر والتعطش لسفك الدماء ومحبة النفاق والرياء من الناس. وليتوقف العلم عن إنكار وجود الله، أو التسليم بالمادية على أساس أنها قضية مسلمة. أن كلا العقل والمادة ظواهر نسبية، وهما معلول مزدوج لعلة نهائية ينبغي أن تظل طبيعتها مجهولة . ان الاعتراف بهذه لوقة الغامضة هو جوهر الحقيقة في كل دين، وبداية الفلسفة.
