In
the past people have thought that religion and science could not work together,
but Baha'u'llah
teaches that true religion is in agreement with true science. He tells
us that our hearts and our minds can accept the same truths.
.
We
will conclude this chapter with a wonderful quotation from a talk by Abdu'l-Baha:
.
"
God
made religion and science to be the measure....of
our understanding.
take
heed that you neglect not such a wonderful power. Weigh all things
in
this balance...."
.
"
Put all your beliefs into harmony with science;
there can be no opposition, for truth is one. When religion , shorn of
its superstitions, traditions , and unintelligent dogmas,
shows
its conformity with science, then will there be a great unifying,
cleansing
force in the world , which will sweep before it all
wars,
disagreements, discords and struggles - and
then
will mankind be united in the power of
the
love
of God. "
