—— physics inductive, experimental, progressive; theology
deductive, traditional, and in comparison stationary, Idea,

own homestead, hence quarrels; inductive theology as bad as deductive
physics, Idea,
441-8;

there,' O.S.,

or polemical remarks on the physical world viewed religiously,' Idea,
61;

which involves change in the Humanity, ib., 359-61; this fact
of the Humanity being taken up, and therefore not a being complete in
itself, explains St. Cyril's formula, 'one Incarnate Nature (physis)
