Cressy Morrison is a former president of the New York Academy of Sciences and the American Institute of the City of New York: he is also a member of the executive board of the National Research Council and a fellow of the American Museum of Natural History and a life member of the Royal Institute of Great Britain. This well-known scientist is a believer in God. One of seven reasons for his faith in the existence of a Supreme Intelligence in the universe is “Our Unique World.’’ Coming from such a man as Dr. Morrison, his reasons cannot be merely shruggedoff with a deprecating gesture or ignored with a tolerant smile as words of ignorance. His views must be considered. Tremendous scientific discoveries have taken place in the last few years and we are on the very threshold of still more momentous possibilities. All of these so far show more and more clearly the evidence of the work of the Creator Himself. mere are so many conditions absolutely essential to life on this planet of ours that they could not possibly exist merely by chance. Dr. Morrison reminds us that if we should mark ten pennies from one to ten and then put them in a pocket, give them a good shake, and start trying to draw them out one at a time in the sequence of one to ten, putting each coin back in the pocket after each draw and shuffling them again, we would come to some startling conclusions. Mathematically, the chance of drawing number one first is one in ten; of drawing one and two in succession is one in a hundred; of drawing the first three numbers in succession is one in a thousand; and the chance of drawing all ten in succession, one after the other, would reach the unimaginable figure of one in ten billion. BUT IN THIS EARTH OF OURS, OUR UNIQUE WORLD, WE FIND TENS, YES HUNDREDS, OF CONDITIONS EXISTING, ALL NECESSARY FOR LIFE, which for their origin make chance entirely unbelievable. Submitted by Wesley G. Nicholson, senior pastor of the First Congregational Church. A great need in the Church today is meaningful dialogue. Why not search courses examining all documents relevant to the times when Christianity was beginning? Why not take Paul’s dictum seriously—“Prove all things, hold fast that which is good”? Since the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls we are in possession of documents that give new light upon the seedbed of Christian ideas. Some of the sayings of Jesus are found in documents that predate his Sermon on the Mount. This suggests a widespread fer ment in the Jewish society at the time of the coming of Jesus. Every serious student of Christianity should be reading much more than his Bible. Much dialogue is needed around eschatological thought. It is now time to say that the doctrine that God will intervene in a sinful society by sending the return of hi I Son to cause a cataclysmic change is a mista en hope that arose in the troubled times of the) first century. To be sure it had more ancient loots, but the doctrine was crystallized and motivated by dire persecutions during the formative days of our faith. There is ample evidence that the coming of the Son of man was expected during the time when the early converts to the Church were living. “There be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” “This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled.” These are but two quotes. There are many others. It is now time to admit that these ex pectations were in error. Further, it is now time to admit that, if our society is to be redeemed, it will be done by dedicated men and women. To say that the redemption of society is to come through direct intervention from God and to pray for that day to come speedily, is to cop out religiously. Ther redemption of society will not come from direct Divine intervention. It will be VAC COMPLISHED IF THERE ARE SUFFICIENT MEN AND WOMEN WHO SAY AS Isaiah of old: “Here am I, send me.”
