IN this era of scientific discovery, it should not seem strange that Christianity should be discovered and practiced as absolute Science. Every science seeks to discover and elucidate exact knowledge and to utilize material laws for various purposes. Superstitions and unsound theories are thus discarded. The natural sciences deal with matter and its behavior, but always on the basis that material phenomena, as well as the laws controlling them, are realities and are external to human thought.
Christian Science, discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, is absolute Science because it reveals exact knowledge of God and His laws, and it utilizes divine laws for the purpose of blessing the human race. This Science of Truth, or God, discloses the unreality of matter and its laws and shows them to be subjective states of the temporal, carnal mind. Thus Christian Science demonstrates the supremacy of Truth over all that opposes the eternality and infinity of Mind, God, or denies the divine presence.
Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 123, 124): "Christian Science differs from material science, but not on that account is it less scientific. On the contrary, Christian Science is pre-eminently scientific being based on Truth, the Principle of all science."
