Thoughts on Religion

Thoughts on Religion is a collection of essays and lectures by George John Romanes, an influential 19th-century biologist and philosopher. The book explores Romanes' thoughts on religion, including his own personal beliefs and his critiques of various religious doctrines and practices. Romanes argues that religion should be grounded in reason and evidence, rather than blind faith, and that it should be open to scientific inquiry and discovery. He also discusses the relationship between religion and morality, and the role of religion in society. Throughout the book, Romanes draws on his extensive knowledge of biology and evolution to shed light on various religious concepts and debates. Overall, Thoughts on Religion offers a unique perspective on the intersection of science and religion, and provides valuable insights into the ongoing debate over the role of religion in modern society.1895.
