The problem of whether or not religions can meet commands the greatest attention of thinking minds today: recent developments in science and psychology have shown how the old materialistic and mechanistic world-outlook on which the philosophy of the last three hundred years was based and which is still dogmatically followed by the social sciences, has now become totally outmoded giving place to what Oppenheimer calls the "principle of complementariness." We understand that freedom is no less true than determinism. The greatest enemy of religion for the past three hundred years has been the mechanistic method of science. It has resulted in the liquidation of all moral and I spiritual values.
