What reading level is The Belief in Immortality book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even though the energy of the mind may per- sist after death, yet, on the basis of the analogy assumed, we are allowed to postulate at most its persistence only in a disorgan- ized, impersonal condition, for if these two streams of energy run their course in a perfectly parallel fashion all though the life of the individual what warrant have we for assuming that at death they enter upon divergent courses? Such a supposi- tion, we are told, begs the whole question and is at heart utterly unscien...tific. And so, there we are. On the basis of the doc- trine of the conservation of energy cosmic immortality, there- fore, seems highly probable, while personal immortality seems highly improbable.
(b) The conservation of value.
But there is another principle operative in the field of science which is sometimes quoted as favoring a belief in human sur- vival. It is the principle of the conservation of value. Science tells us that this earth on which we live came to its present con- dition through the operation of certain definite forces which worked by slow degrees through millenniums of ages.
