101:2.2 [[Reason]] is the [[method]] of [[science]]; [[faith]] is the [[method]] of [[religion]]; [[logic]] is the attempted [[technique]] of [[philosophy]]. [[Revelation]] compensates for the [[absence]] of the [[morontia]] [[viewpoint]] by providing a [[technique]] for achieving [[unity]] in the [[comprehension]] of the [[reality]] and [[relationships]] of [[matter]] and [[spirit]] by the mediation of [[mind]]. And true [[revelation]] never renders [[science]] unnatural, [[religion]] unreasonable, or [[philosophy]] illogical.

101:2.5 [[Science]] ends its [[reason]]-search in the [[hypothesis]] of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_cause First Cause]. [[Religion]] does not stop in its flight of [[faith]] until it is sure of a [[God]] of [[salvation]]. The [[discriminating]] [[study]] of [[science]] logically suggests the [[reality]] and [[existence]] of an [[Absolute]]. [[Religion]] believes unreservedly in the [[existence]] and [[reality]] of a [[God]] who fosters [[personality]] [[survival]]. What [[metaphysics]] fails utterly in doing, and what even [[philosophy]] fails partially in doing, [[revelation]] does; that is, affirms that this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_cause First Cause] of [[science]] and [[religion]]'s God of salvation are one and the same [[Deity]].

101:2.6 [[Reason]] is the [[proof]] of [[science]], [[faith]] the [[proof]] of [[religion]], [[logic]] the proof of [[philosophy]], but [[revelation]] is validated only by human [[experience]]. [[Science]] yields [[knowledge]]; [[religion]] yields [[happiness]]; [[philosophy]] yields [[unity]]; [[revelation]] confirms the experiential [[harmony]] of this [[triune]] approach to [[universal]] [[reality]].
