“Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith.”

Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

Your faith rests on the future of yourself and others as individuals, mine in the future and fate of our successors.

I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.

My method of thought and reasoning is influenced by a scientific training—if that were not so my scientific training will have been a waste and a failure.

In my view, all that is necessary for faith is the belief that by doing our best we shall succeed in our aims: the improvement of mankind.

I maintain that faith in this world is perfectly possible without faith in another world.

I see no reason to believe that a creator of protoplasm or primeval matter, if such there be, has any reason to be interested in our insignificant race in a tiny corner of the universe, and still less in us, as still more insignificant individuals.

I would willingly go more primitive if it were necessary to preserve my freedom.

You can’t just say that you’re committed to creating the best year of your life and expect it to stick. You have to make a conscious effort to allow this commitment to become part of your internal belief system.

When belief in God becomes difficult, the tendency is to turn away from Him; but in heaven’s name to what?

God doesn’t take things away to be cruel. He takes things away to make room for other things. He takes things away to lighten us. He takes things away so we can fly.

All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.

Combine practice with belief.

While unbelief sees the difficulties, faith sees God between itself and them.

Go ahead and believe in God , if you like, but don’t imagine that you have been given any grounds for such a belief by science.

Again, I see no reason why the belief that we are insignificant or fortuitous should lessen our faith.
