  いと 小さき 科学の理もて大空の 謎解かめやはあはれ学者等
264  

Pitiful scientists!
How can they solve
The puzzle of the
Heavens with the
Insignificant theories of science?

#1, S6-360C
         
    人 間が 作りし科学もて人間の 命を救うナンセンスかも
265   Such nonsense it is
To try to save the
Lives of human beings
With the science created
By human beings.
#2, S6-361A 
 
How absurd an idea it is
To save human lives
By means exclusively
Of the science humans contrived
Out of their brains.

宗教は 過去の ものなり万人を 救ふ力は已に滅びぬ

266   Religion is a
Thing of the past;
Already it has lost
The power, the strength
To save all peoples.
