What reading level is Matter Life Mind And God Five Lectures On Contemporary Tendencies of Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Biology for a long time proved an obstacle to the victorious advance of mechanism. The triumphs of bio-chemistry were still to come, and, in the absence of the theory of descent, the existence of living beings seemed to point to special creation, just as their adaptation to their environment seemed evi- dence of the wisdom and goodness of the Creator's design. Darwin's theory of the origin of species by the accumulation of accidental variations and by the survival of those specimens which had t...he good luck to fit the environment, was hailed as the conquest of the realm of life by the mechanical theory of nature. The fortress of biology had sur- rendered. But what was there " mechanical " about the theory ? Nothing but the part assigned 100 MATTER, LIFE, MIND, AND GOD to " accident " and " luck " a part, moreover, exaggerated by enthusiastic disciples of the new theory far beyond Darwin's own sober and cautious statements. It was enough that chance eliminated design, that descent was put in the place of creation, and the struggle for existence (" nature red in tooth and claw ") in the place of the care of a kindly Provi- dence for its creatures.
