Science Quotes by W. H. Mallock (1 quote)
To any doctrine of individual immortality science opposes an unbroken and impregnable barrier.
— W. H. Mallock
In 'Is the Human Animal Immortal', Religion as a Credible Doctrine (1903), 85.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
