Excerpt from The Evolution of a Theologian

Why please a scientist? Why this humiliating attitude of attempting to reconcile the ephemeral modernism which is parading under the mask of scientific discover ies with the teachings and traditions of old? Is it not an undisputed fact that the lack of stability always has been and still remains the main characteristic of all sci entific creeds? Is it not for this very reason that a set of men subject to a frivolous vanity are continually plunging into the unknown in order to satisfy their shallow curiosity? What do they gain by it? Noth ing whatever. They pass into oblivion one after an other like clouds on the horizon, leaving no trace of anything that can stand the ravages of tempestuous times; while the vivifying rays of the institution of God shine century after century, warming and enlivening the desolated and broken hearts of mankind. Christian implicity and humility, its piety, erudition, and deep wisdom, have built a foundation which cannot be shaken by the imitators of the infamous Celsus, the sarcastic and virulent philosopher of old, who, although forgotten long ago, stands a vivid rebuke to the modern Goliaths of shameful doctrines.
