Theism is gradually being reenforced by the discovery that apparently
diverse phenomena are really one.
The division of bodies into gaseous, liquid, and solid, and
the distinction established for the same substance between the
three states, retain a great importance for the applications and
usages of daily life, but have long since lost their absolute
value from the scientific point of view.
As far as concerns the liquid and gaseous states particularly,
the already antiquated researches of Andrews confirmed the ideas
of Cagniard de la Tour and established the continuity of the
two states.--LUCIEN POINCARE, “The New Physics and Its
Evolution.”
