When man first began to think, he asked himself the deepest of all questions- a questions which you have undoubtedly asked yourself many times: what is the Meaning of life? What is it all about? Where are we all going? What drives men ever forward to work and worry? And now there's this other big question- a newer question which is beginning to force itself into our notice. One that is not ages old ... that has not been with us since man first began to think. It is where is science talking us? First, where is where is science talking us with regard to ethical and spiritual values? We know what it is doing with regard to material things, for material things are its daily business; but what is it doing with regard to non-material things? If the answer were nothing at all, that would be bad enough; but the actual answer is less than nothing. Here science is actually doing less than nothing. Its material teachings have been so over emphasized that many people are floundering and wondering whether after all men is but a machine animated by forces over which he has no control. Let's concentrate on material things, the things that from the very stronghold of science. Look at the machine, for instance. This is the age of the machine. Machines are everywhere in the field, in the factory, in the home, in the street, in the city, in the country, everywhere. To fly, it is not necessary to have wings; there are machines. To swim under the sea not it is not necessary to have gills; there are machines. To kill our fellow men in overwhelming numbers, there are machines. Petrol machines alone provide ten times more power than all human beings in the world. In the busiest countries, each individual has six hundred human salves in his machines. The machine age give us year by year more hours of leisure but it fails to teach us how to use them. It gives us mechanical habits of mind and represses the spirit of adventure except along machine made lines. We will need all our creative powers to think our way out of the social problems which science has created for us. It is science that has given us the unexpected redistribution of the age groups. Almost every year, some modern drug adds a little more to the average span of life, until the upper group is overcrowded. In the United States, for instance, there are already nine million people over the age of sixty. In fifteen years' time, this number will reach the astonishing figure of forty five million. Who is to keep them? It will need some readjustment.
