Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between the aim of science and the aim of theology. Science, in the large sense, is seeking to understand the universe as a coherent and unified whole. But this aim is an ideal rather than an actual achievement. The progress of science rests on will rather than on mere knowledge. This means that in pursuing science the world is actually subdued to the interests of man. It rests on ethics, requiring the co-operation of human wills. It points to the future for its full realization. These considerations bring the ultimate end of science into close harmony with the aim of theology, which seeks to interpret the ultimate control in the universe so as to promote human, ethical, and forward-looking interests. "The ultimate interest of science and the interest in God are one-the interest in human betterment, human perfection, human salvation."
