Instead of the Bohr atom with its positive nucleus, Dr. Lewis claimed that the electrons, though having orbits, do not revolve around the "kernel" of the atom.

Instead of a general orbit for all, like the rings of Saturn, each pair of electrons probably...
Finally--is the Church justified in existing at all, since it must keep the Creeds and believe them? "What place," you must ask, "has an organization which demands belief in occurrences science proves impossible; what place has it among modern educated persons?" There lies the kernel of the whole so-called "Conflict between Religion and Science". There is no such conflict; there never can be, for Science and Religion have no inter-relation. Man's scientific instrument is his reason; his religious instrument is his mystical power. When reason is applied to Religion, there is naturally discord...
