Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joseph Smith as Scientist: A Contribution to Mormon Philosophy In the life of every person, who receives a higher edu cation, in or out of schools, there is a time when there seems to be Opposition between science and religion; between man-made and God-made knowledge. The struggle for recon ciliation between the contending forces is not an easy one. It cuts deep into the soul and usually leaves scars that ache while life endures. There are thousands of young people in the Church to-day, and hundreds of thousands through out the world, who are struggling to set themselves right with the God above and the world about them. It is for these young people, primarily, that the following chapters have been written. This volume is based on the conviction that there is no real difference between science and religion. The great, fundamental laws of the Universe are foundation stones in religion as well as in science. The principle that matter is indestructible belongs as much to theology as to geology. The theology which rests upon the few basic laws of nature is unshakable; and the great theology of the future will be such a one.
