Thoughts on Religion

By Charles Gore, George John Romanes, George John 1848-1894 Romanes

Book Overview

""Thoughts on Religion"" is a collection of essays and lectures by George John Romanes, a prominent biologist and philosopher of the late 19th century. The book explores the relationship between science and religion, and Romanes argues that the two are not necessarily incompatible. He discusses topics such as the existence of God, the nature of faith, and the role of religion in society. Romanes also draws on his own personal experiences with religion, including his conversion to Christianity later in life. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the importance of open-mindedness and critical thinking in both scientific and religious pursuits. ""Thoughts on Religion"" offers a unique perspective on the intersection of science and religion, and is still relevant today for those interested in exploring these topics.1895. Romanes, British biologist, was personal friends with Charles Darwin who had substantial influence on his studies. Despite early strong religious beliefs, Romanes was converted to Darwinism. His studies covered three related fields: physiology, psychology and evolution. This volume was published posthumously and is based on notes that were found among his papers for a work he was intending to write on the fundamental questions of religion.
