ABSTRACT
The power of science lies in the knowledge it gives enabling Man to bring his actions one by one into conformity with natural law. It is, for example, through a knowledge of, and strict conformity with the laws of aero-dynamics, that he has won the freedom of the air. Already biological studies have removed him from a position in which—considering himself bom of a supernatural act of creation—Man singled himself out from the rest of creation, believing himself subject to some ‘higher law’ to which implicit obedience was also ‘blind’. The work of Darwin cut the strings of this puppet-like suspension above the stage of the rest of creation. Now we recognise Man as but one of the species undergoing evolution in cosmos.
