Abstract

Several recently published books quote the British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington as having said that “religion first became possible for a reasonable scientific man about the year 1927.” In this essay it is shown that these words have been taken out of context and are not representative of Eddington’s views on the relation between science and religion
