This means, in turn, the speedy degeneration of the human race. The deification of force, augmented by all the products and engines of modern science, is simply the way of sublimated savagery. The world is in need of a new dispensation.
Viewed upon this side, it is easy to show that Atheism is very bad metaphysics, while the materialism which goes with it is utterly condemned by modern science. But our feeling toward Atheism goes much deeper than the mere recognition of it as philosophically untrue.
"I beg pardon," said Christophe, "I've come across your intellectual elite as well." "What? A few dozen men of letters? They're a fine lot! Nowadays when science and action play so great a part literature has become superficial, no more than the bed where the thought of the people sleeps.

"And how do you know I haven't put it in such a condition again?" asked the other. "I should like to see how you have accomplished it."
