The opinion occasionally expressed that life today is complex, confusing, and mechanistic should be promptly identified as a counterfeit of the unalterable truth of spiritual being. The Christian Scientist holds that man's existence as the child of God is harmonious in action and complete in fulfillment of the design of God.

He reaffirms a basic fact that God's plan for man and the universe graciously unfolds in paths of order, beauty, and holiness.
Innocence and purity provide the key to true achievement in every area of human experience. As the vast potentialities of mathematics derive from but ten digits, which children early master, so the highest demands for practical demonstration of God's all-encompassing law rest on simple truths, deriving from man's inalienable oneness, or unity, with his Father-Mother, God.
