causes of that development. And this is the point where natural science
begins to exert her influence upon natural theology--or the point where
the theory of evolution begins to affect the theory of design. As this
is a most important part of our subject, and one upon which an
extraordinary amount of confusion at the present time prevails, I shall
in my next paper carefully consider it in all its bearings.

FOOTNOTES:

[19] [The third paper is not published because Romanes' views on the
relation between science and faith in Revealed Religion are better and
more maturely expressed in the Notes.--ED.]

[20] To avoid misunderstanding I may observe that in the above
definitions I am considering Religion and Science under the conditions
in which they actually exist. It is conceivable that under other
conditions these two departments of thought might not be so sharply
separated. Thus, for instance, if a Religion were to appear carrying a
revelation to Science upon matters of physical causation, such a
Religion (supposing the revelation were found by experiment to be true)
ought to be held to exercise upon Science a strictly legitimate
influence.
