Twenty-ninth Degree

Knight of Saint Andrew

     In this degree, the Mason learns that there is no contradiction between religion and science; that religion can be better understood through science and science can be better understood by religion.  He who denies science is as fanatical as he who denies religion.  Our lifetime is limited in time; thus we must see God within this limited period of our time.  Yet, God transcends all time; he is an energy over and beyond time.  There is no other energy that creates that energy.  There is no end to that energy.  Freemasonry is thus the continual effort to exalt the divine in man over the human so that we may come to better understand the nature of God in our time.
