The objection is seriously made against Christian Science that it insists that the universe, including man, is not seen or understood by mortals as it really is. This objection is not only made by the materialist and the atheist, but by ministers of the Christian churches; and the protests of the latter are even more vehement than those of the former.
It seems to the writer that this proposition of Christian Science will be recognized as self-evident by any one who gives it reasonable consideration.
It will be generally conceded that the so-called intelligence of mortal man to-day is very limited; that he knows but little about the universe and the laws that govern it. He cannot tell anything about the fundamental processes by which plants and animals are made to grow, much less whence or how they were brought into existence.
