Abstract
DOES a description of the world afford any evidence of the existence of God? This is the subject of a symposium in the April issue of the Hibbert Journal, and the discussion has particular interest for biologists. A description of the world is not merely a statement of those conceptions that we call natural laws, but it is also an interpretation of what Prof. Whitehead calls the “passage of Nature “-the evolutionary career. In this passage the various points of view taken by the writers are these: there is an increasing enrichment of what we may call the content of Nature; there is progress; and there is an effort or striving against something.
