Abstract

Draper's Science and Religion
November 25, 1875 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book entitled, "History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science." The book has been written by John William Draper. In this book a lot is written about the Arabs, and something about explorer Christopher Columbus and astronomer Galileo, who made men accept sundry truths in the teeth of clerical opposition. The course of the narrative, however, leaves little doubt as to what Draper means by a conflict between science and religion. The word religion is to him a symbol which stands for unenlightened bigotry or narrow-minded unwillingness to look facts in the face.
