Spider-web silk is so strong that manyspecies of birds use ~tto build their nests. Unlike -steel, .silkcanstretche to more than twice its original length before breaking.Beavers, too, are natural engineers. They use tree branches toconstruct dams, the divided end is pressed into the walls and thismakes the dam strong enough to withstand the pressure of water.

Constructing a very thick wall is uneconomical. Strength couldalso be provided to a thin wall by providing support or by makingthe base wide. The nest of the termite Amitermes meridionalis ismote than two meters high with a wide base, which 'tapers at thetop. This ensures greater resistance to wind forces.

Science merely reflects the prevailingsocial forces. It is found that, when there is peace, science isconstructive; when the there is war, science is perverted todestructive ends. The weapons which science gives us do nonecessarily cause war; they make war increasingly terrible. Tillnow, it has brought us to doorstep of doom. Our main problem,therefore, is not to curb science but to stop war-to substitutelaw for force, and international government for anarchy in therelations of one nation with another. That is a job in whicheverybody must participate, including the scientists. But thebombing of Hiroshima suddenly woke us up to the fact that wehave very little time. The hour is late and our work has scarcelybegun. Now we are face to face with an urgent question-"Caneducation and tolerance, understanding creative intelligence

run fast enough to keep us abreast with our own mountingcapacity to destroy?" that is the question which we shall have toanswer one way or the other in this generation. Science musthelp us in arriving at the answer, but the main decision lieswithin ourselves.

Abstract the following passage for its core meaning: - (2.S)The real choice for the modenl man is not between conservativedogmatism and rationalistic modernism, but between a matureand an immature religious faith. 80th dogmatism and extrememodemism suffer from the same fundamental error. They overemphasize the intellectual element in religion. Religion can offerno intellectual certainty. It can no longer provide the unifiedoutlook on life which characterized the medieval period. It mustleave' to science the undisputed right of judgment in all matersof fact: which properly fall within here province. Of coursereligion has its intellectual aspect. The affirmations ofexperience must be expressed in intellectual terms. Such effortsof interpretation must use the intellectual language of the age,but they can be nothing more than a fumbling effort to explainthe inexplicable, to comprehend the incomprehensible. Man'sdoctrine of God can and must change with changing Knowledge,but the spiritual vision of God grows richer and truer for allthose who honestly and fearlessly follow the religious was of life.The real need of our times is not intellectual but spiritual. It isthe need for a truly, spiritual faith which will refuse to cling toany particular beliefs though fear or a desire for comfort orsecurity-a faith that is prepared for change and growth even atthe c<?stof suffering.
