Millions Of People have lost faith in what they used to believe in. This has brought a great moral crisis in our society. We need to understand this crisis, for such understanding throws new light on the wonderful mission and opportunity of Christian Science.
In this century, science and technology have become virtually a system of mass faith. People have pinned their hopes on physics for the explanation of matter, on biology for the explanation of life, on medicine for health, on psychology and psychiatry for the explanation of man and mind, on technological invention for general well-being and happiness.
But now this faith is turning increasingly into dismay. Physics has produced the hydrogen bomb. Chemistry has spawned napalm and DDT. Biology threatens to upset the very processes of life and generation. Technology is polluting our environment and upsetting the balance of nature. Psychiatric research has exposed the dark and fearful depths of the human mind but produced no convincing solutions.
