Since the advent
of the scientific age men have sought an explanation of phenomena upon a purely
naturalistic basis which was once attributed to divine intervention. As the
knowledge of science has increased men have more and more contended that
everything which was once thought to be supernatural can now be explained
naturally. The mathematician, Laplace, when explaining to Napoleon how the
universe came into being was asked where God fitted into the picture. He is
purported to have replied: “I have no need of such an hypothesis.” Scientists
believe that life itself will soon be created in the science laboratory, so that
this supreme power which has always been attributed to Deity, will fall to naturalistic
science. Such a feat would supposedly result in the final victory over supernaturalism.
Man will have proved that he no longer has any need for a belief in God.
