Then he announces that "science has now its nobler creed" to offer those who are willing to accept it. Answering the question, " What are the tenets of this new faith of scientific knowledge?" he replies: "It is all comprised in the simple faith that we can perfect the human organism, transform the earth to Heaven, and achieve deathless life." The aim of Dr. Stephens's took is to point the way to "immortal life on the earth from the growth of knowledge and the development of the human brain."
