In Other Words, The Church Acknowledges Science

The Development Of A Rational View Of The Nature Of Catalysis Was Thus Absolutely Dependent On The Creation Of The Concept Of The Rate Of Chemical Reaction.

My Only Supporter And Comrade-in-arms Was Georg Helm, Who Had Endeavored To Formulate An Energetic Conception Of Science Before Me And Had Presented His Results In A Treatise [die Lehre Von Der Energie] Exhibiting Great Independence Of Thought. But We Were Separated By His Aversion To A Realistic Conception Of Energy. Consequently, Each Of Us Considered The Other Only A Half Ally, Toward Whom An Attitude Of Caution Was Necessary.

Nowadays, However, We Recognize That Simultaneously With The Typical Case Of A Chemical Reaction A Typical Case Of Catalytic Effect Had Been Studied Which Constitutes A Limiting Case.

The Distinction Between The Old And The New Formulations Consisting In The Incorporation Of The Concept Of The Rate Of Chemical Reactions Is So Great That It Immediately Asserted Itself In The Objective Development Of Catalysis.

In Other Words, The Church Acknowledges Science As The Higher Authority.
