| Summary | "The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer" by John Gerard is a philosophical examination written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the intersections of science, reason, and the metaphysical questions regarding the origins and nature of life, existence, and the universe. Gerard argues against the notion that science alone can provide answers to all existential inquiries, suggesting that deeper philosophical inquiries remain unresolved. The opening of the text introduces the central theme regarding the universe's origin, establishing that it must have had a beginning, supported by both philosophical argument and scientific evidence. Gerard questions what existed prior to this beginning and explores how matter and existence can possibly arise from nothing. He emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing the limitations of scientific explanations and suggests that the quest for knowledge must include metaphysical considerations, challenging the reader to contemplate the profound mysteries that science cannot adequately address.
