The House of Justice understands that you desire to find
ways of conveying spiritual truths in logical ways and demonstrating their
validity through scientific proofs. There can be no objection to such an
attitude. 'Abdu'l-Bahá Himself used such a method. The danger Bahá'í scholars
must avoid is the distortion of religious truth, almost forcibly at times, to
make it conform to understandings and perceptions current in the scientific
world. True Bahá'í scholars should guard against this.
