| 2628 | Are they, as the healthy common sense of the ancient Greeks appears to have led them to assume without hesitation, the remains of animals and plants? |
| 2629 | But if what lies below the horse''s"knee"thus corresponds to the middle finger in ourselves, what has become of the four other fingers or digits? |

| 2631 | I am really grieved to be obliged to say that this third( or is it fourth?) |
| 2631 | It may be so, or it may not be so; but where is the evidence which would justify any one in making a positive assertion on the subject? |

| 2630 | Has any one ever dreamed of claiming it as a modern innovation? |
| 2630 | Vertebrate_ land_-population( Amphibia, Reptilia[?]). |
| 2632 | And, in matter of fact, can the record with due regard to legitimate historical criticism, be pronounced true? |
| 2632 | But have we a right to do so? |
| 2632 | But what is the meaning of this expression? |
| 2632 | How could its subsistence, by any possibility, be an affair of weeks and months? |
| 2632 | If Jonah''s three days''residence in the whale is not an"admitted reality,"how could it"warrant belief"in the"coming resurrection?" |
| 2632 | If divine authority is not here claimed for the twenty- fourth verse of the second chapter of Genesis, what is the value of language? |
| 2632 | If no Flood swept the careless people away, how is the warning of more worth than the cry of"Wolf"when there is no wolf? |
| 2632 | Is there any known historical work which is throughout exactly true, or is there not? |
| 2632 | When Jesus spoke, as of a matter of fact, that"the Flood came and destroyed them all,"did he believe that the Deluge really took place, or not? |
| 2632 | Why not? |
| 2634 | 23)--is not this Deity conceived as manlike in form? |
| 2634 | 27 David says to Zadok the priest,"Art thou not a seer?" |
| 2634 | And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up? |

| 2634 | Can any other conclusion be drawn from the history of Abraham and Isaac? |
| 2634 | Does Abraham exhibit any indication of surprise when he receives the astounding order to sacrifice his son? |
| 2634 | Does not the action of Saul, on a famous occasion, involve exactly the same theological presuppositions? |

| 2634 | Still the spectre remains invisible to Saul, for he asks,"What form is he of?" |
| 2634 | Then said Saul to his servant, But behold if we go, what shall we bring the man? |
| 2634 | What have we? |
| 2634 | Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh, thy Elohim, giveth thee to possess?" |
| 2634 | [ Footnote 22: Compare:"And Samuel said unto Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me?" |
| 25975 | _ Granted; but does that transform a fable into a fact? 25975 And what are clean beasts? 25975 And, if caught, how could they be preserved, together with the original stock of insects necessary to supply the world after the deluge? 25975 But how many cans of cockroaches would be necessary for two hundred and fifty- two of such birds,--the number in the ark? 25975 But was it really done? 25975 But why not every thing in the sea? 25975 Can any thing more be needed? 25975 Can this be tortured to mean a partial deluge? 25975 Food for how long? 25975 Had the pigeons become utterly corrupt, and the pikes remained perfectly innocent? 25975 Had the sheep been more guilty than the sharks? 25975 How could a partial deluge accomplish this? 25975 How could all flesh be destroyed with the earth by any other than a total deluge? 25975 How could the ants escape, with ant- eaters, aard- varks and pangolins on the watch for them as soon as they made their appearance? 25975 How could the ostriches of Africa, the emus of Australia, and the rheas of South America, get there,--birds that never fly? 25975 How did these animals live in the darkness? 25975 How long a lease of life could the sheep, hares, and mice, calculate upon? 25975 How many kinds or species of birds are there? 25975 How many of these animals would survive the journey? 25975 How were all the insects caught, and kept for the use of all these animals for more than a year? 25975 If a partial flood, how could the ark have rested on the mountains of Ararat? 25975 If all the human occupants of the ark were Caucasians, how did they produce negro races in forty- eight years? 25975 If not a total flood, why save the animals, above all the birds? 25975 Is it possible to add to the strength of this? 25975 No such food would do for Noah''s nightingales, then, or where would have been the nightingale''s song? 25975 Was amalgamation practised by any of Noah''s sons? 25975 Were the dogs sinners, and the dog- fish saints? 25975 What chance would a few sheep, rabbits and squirrels, rats and mice, doves and chickens, have, among this ravenous multitude? 25975 What had the larks, the doves, and the bob- o- links done? 25975 What had the squirrels and the tortoises been guilty of, that they should be destroyed? 25975 What kind of a family had Noah? 25975 What then? 25975 Why should the beasts, birds, and creeping things be destroyed? 25975 Why should we go through the world with a lie in our right hand, dupes of the ignorant men who preceded us? 25975 _ How did they breathe?_ There was but one twenty- two inch window; the ark waspitched within and without with pitch;""The Lord shut him in." |
| 25975 | _ How were the various animals obtained?_ The command given to Noah was,"Two of every sort shalt thou_ bring_ into the ark." |
| 25975 | _"How do you account, then, for these traditions of a deluge that we find all over the globe? |
| 25975 | and where were the bake- houses from which the supply might be obtained? |
| 25975 | and, above all, how did Noah and his family supply their wants? |
| 25975 | and, of those that did, how many would survive the change of climate and habits? |
| 44479 | -- Is this the last form of unbelief? |
| 44479 | All is for his use in the lower worlds of plants and animals; then why not use their frame and inner organs also? |
| 44479 | But who did their works and thought their thoughts? |
| 44479 | But who is to decide what in the Bible is historical and what is not? |
| 44479 | But why has physical development ceased at all? |
| 44479 | Did or did not man descend from the brute or was he specially and divinely created? |
| 44479 | Evolution is silent when we ask, Whence came these mighty forces? |
| 44479 | Evolution triumphantly asks, Were they created only in these places? |
| 44479 | How could man adapt himself by increasing the size of his brain? |
| 44479 | If it can not be predicated of the animals we see and know, how can it be asserted of a period millenniums ago? |
| 44479 | If it can not teach correctly the nature of insects and animals, why should it be able to tell us the nature of God? |
| 44479 | If it is not trustworthy as to facts of this world, why depend upon it as to the other world? |
| 44479 | If the Bible meant Evolution why did it not give it? |
| 44479 | If there was a Creator at the origin of life, why not at the origin of all living things? |
| 44479 | If we can not believe the Bible''s narratives why should we believe its religion? |
| 44479 | Is it necessary for us to wait twenty years more to reverse our opinions? |
| 44479 | Is it possible the Biblical view is right after all and that civilized man has been civilized from the outset?" |
| 44479 | Is it scientific to accept as true an unproven theory and make it the basis of all belief? |
| 44479 | Max Mueller says,"What do we know of savage tribes beyond the last chapter in their history? |
| 44479 | Shall we allow the guess as to the origin of the tip of the outer ear to revolutionize theology? |
| 44479 | Shall we condemn the whole race to a bestial origin on the same evidence? |
| 44479 | Shall we risk our eternal destiny on the supposed uselessness of the so- called"gill- slits"in premature puppies? |
| 44479 | Shall we suspend a philosophy of the universe upon a few long hairs? |
| 44479 | Suppose that Plato and Newton never lived, that their story is a lie? |
| 44479 | The faith of the Christian is sometimes taxed but what shall we say of the faith of the evolutionist? |
| 44479 | Theodore Parker:"Shall we be told such a man never lived-- the whole story is a lie? |
| 44479 | We have the remains of millions of animals reaching through all the ages and why is this particular specimen wanting? |
| 44479 | We need ever to ask concerning its statements, Is this proven or assumed? |
| 44479 | We therefore ask, What does it teach as to Evolution? |
| 44479 | Well may we draw a long breath here and say, Is this Science? |
| 44479 | What Greek race to- day could reproduce the architecture or statuary of their ancestors? |
| 44479 | What is to hinder anyone from so discarding any fact whatever in the Bible? |
| 44479 | What man could have fabricated Jesus? |
| 44479 | Where is the dynamo from which this perpetual energy originated and still proceeds? |
| 44479 | Where to- day is the Hindu race that could build the Taj Mahal? |
| 44479 | Where will this process end? |
| 44479 | Which is more credible, the simple account of miraculous creation or this long, involved and absolutely unseen and unknown process? |
| 44479 | Which is the more noble, the more satisfying to our desires for a high and divine origin as well as high and divine destiny? |

| 44479 | Why has Succession ceased? |
| 44479 | Why has not the enemy of Christianity the same right to apply this reasoning to the accounts of the death and resurrection of Christ? |
| 44479 | Why have not the higher orders pushed the lower out, as in the geologic ages, if Evolution was the cause? |
| 44479 | Why lead us into a perplexing situation when he might as well have given us some other account or omitted it altogether? |
| 44479 | Why should the passing away of the ice age increase the size of the brain? |
| 12852 | And who is it now? |
| 12852 | How did this all first come to be you? 12852 Who is that?" |
| 12852 | 8? |
| 12852 | But how did he get that intelligence? |
| 12852 | But how much worse is it when we consider-- what criterion does mankind possess for disinterring and distinguishing the elements of truth? |
| 12852 | But looking at the Genesis narrative, who could suppose it to be a parable? |
| 12852 | But need it always be so made? |
| 12852 | But what possible reason have they for this conclusion? |
| 12852 | But why should there be a second narrative at all? |
| 12852 | Can all these things happen_ without_ such aid? |
| 12852 | Can it be believed, then, that protoplasm, as the origin of life, is self- caused, and self- developed? |
| 12852 | Can it be that the professor has for the moment overlooked one very simple fact? |
| 12852 | First of all, how did any_ substance_, however vapoury and tenuous, come to exist, when previously there was nothing? |
| 12852 | Here we must stop to ask how this protoplasm, or simplest form of organic life, came to exist? |
| 12852 | Here, then, he could distinguish and perhaps name the species; but what more was to be done? |
| 12852 | How are we to understand what was meant by the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or by the Serpent speaking and beguiling Eve? |
| 12852 | How did he come to place_ birds_ along with fish and water monsters, and not separately?] |
| 12852 | How did he get to formulate the idea of a_ God_ when he had simplified his group of many spirits into one? |
| 12852 | How did it get its_ life_--its property of taking nourishment, of growing and of giving birth to other creatures like itself? |
| 12852 | How did man get the idea of a personal spirit or double-- no such thing,_ ex hypothesi_ existing? |
| 12852 | How does such a delicate ornament answer the demands of mere conspicuousness? |
| 12852 | How is it, then, that this is not the case? |
| 12852 | How so? |
| 12852 | How then can it exist in animals? |
| 12852 | How, for instance, are we told of the temptation and fall of man? |
| 12852 | If the_ days_ of Genesis mean indefinite periods of aeonian duration, how is the seventh_ day_ of rest to be understood? |
| 12852 | If this bee became extinct, the plant would die out; how can such a development be advantageous to it? |
| 12852 | Is it, for instance, the experience of the mass of men, as men, that the"fleshly mind is death, but the spiritual mind is life and peace"? |
| 12852 | Is not such a production and such a design the true essence of Creation? |
| 12852 | Is the account in the Book of Genesis true? |
| 12852 | Lastly, how are we to account for the beauty of autumnal tints in woods, or coloured_ leaves_ in plants such as the_ Caladium_? |
| 12852 | May I make one remark on this interesting science tournament? |
| 12852 | Now, in any case, the writer could have had no knowledge of any kind_ of his own_ on the subject: how did he hit on this particular arrangement? |
| 12852 | Was"bdellium"( as probably being a fragrant gum) one of these offerings? |
| 12852 | What is the cause, what is the purpose, what is the plan in the scheme of nature, of these structures? |
| 12852 | Why are they fanatics, Sisyphus- labourers, and what not? |
| 12852 | Why is Professor Huxley so angry or so contemptuous with people who value the Bible, whole and as it stands, and want to see its accuracy vindicated? |
| 12852 | Why is that? |
| 12852 | Why is the dental formula of the_ viverrinae_ different? |
| 12852 | Why not any other animal, or a nondescript-- a form which no zoologist could place, recognize, or classify? |
| 12852 | Why should stags shed their horns also, leaving them defenceless for a time? |
| 12852 | Why should the Jews have received that truth through the medium of a story of which the whole framework was false, and nothing but the moral true? |
| 12852 | Why should variation take certain directions? |
| 12852 | Why should_ development_ have gone in different directions_ towards the same object_? |
| 12852 | Why, again, are savages prone to imagine natural phenomena to be caused or actuated by"spirits"? |
| 12852 | [ 1] In what possible way would this beauty serve for any purely_ useful_ purpose? |
| 12852 | [ 1]"Have we not here an exhibition which can not be accounted for on any principle of natural utility? |
| 12852 | an elephant? |
| 12852 | and who has changed the inconvenient, the painful, into the_ wrong_? |
| 12852 | how comes it that natural forces and conditions of life so occur and co- operate as to produce the variety of changes needed? |
| 43328 | ''Have you no recollection of me?'' 43328 ''I suppose you do n''t know me?'' |
| 43328 | ''Is it possible,''said Mr. Colby, when the embarrassment of the first shock of recognition was past,''that you have come up here to see me? 43328 And will the portals open To me who roamed so long Filthy and vile and burdened With this great weight of wrong? |
| 43328 | Colby put the question again,''When and where?'' |
| 43328 | Mr. Webster''s first salutation was--''This is Mr. Colby-- Mr. John Colby-- is it not?'' |
| 43328 | ''Is it possible that this is the little black lad that used to ride the horse to water? |
| 43328 | ''Who are you?'' |
| 43328 | Am I wrong in believing that you need no argument here, that no conviction is more sorrowfully intense with you than this? |
| 43328 | And in giving them up have you found something better and more sure to take their place? |
| 43328 | And is it worth our while-- yours or mine-- to make it? |
| 43328 | And is not this well for us? |
| 43328 | And suppose I can not prove that there is a God? |
| 43328 | And was your promise the folly of childhood? |
| 43328 | And when are these manifestations to end and how are they to end? |
| 43328 | And-- I put it to you in all candor-- is it all a lie? |
| 43328 | Are Mr.----''s doubts and denials more to be relied on than the positive beliefs of as intelligent and good men as the world has ever seen? |
| 43328 | Are you a Christian man? |
| 43328 | Are you a Christian? |
| 43328 | Are you a Christian? |
| 43328 | But does it follow that a thing is not good and true because you do not see it? |
| 43328 | But if I live as if there were no God and it should come to pass at last that there is, where am I? |
| 43328 | But what shall be said of such ravings? |
| 43328 | But, after all, is this decisive? |
| 43328 | Can he be all he ought to be? |
| 43328 | Can he be fairly answered? |
| 43328 | Can he do all he ought to do? |
| 43328 | Can he who is wrong make himself right? |
| 43328 | Can that, or anything approaching it, be said of any form of atheism or infidelity or unbelief? |
| 43328 | Can you make the future without error? |
| 43328 | Can you set right all the wrong and all the failure of the past? |
| 43328 | Daniel,''he added, with deep earnestness of voice,''Will you pray with me?'' |
| 43328 | Did she go out in final darkness? |
| 43328 | Did the thought of his mother open the door of his aching heart to his mother''s God and his mother''s Christ? |
| 43328 | Do you love Christ? |
| 43328 | Do you love the Lord Jesus Christ? |
| 43328 | Does it not at once bring hope to you-- a hope as great as it is mysterious? |
| 43328 | For what good would it do? |
| 43328 | Has he delivered me from all fear for the future? |
| 43328 | Has he made it well for me hereafter? |
| 43328 | Has he saved me beyond question from"the serpent of eternal pain"? |
| 43328 | Has life anything real? |
| 43328 | Have we no anchor that will hold as the storm drives us on through the blinding mists and gloom to the eternal shore? |
| 43328 | Have we no sure word of promise to which we can cling when everything else around us and under our feet is giving way? |
| 43328 | Have you heard him? |
| 43328 | How came we here? |
| 43328 | How can that existence be made a safe and satisfying one? |
| 43328 | I have had success, as the world goes, but what of it? |
| 43328 | If there is no God, does that make it certain that there will be no future suffering for any man? |
| 43328 | If they were wrong, of course you are right in parting with them; but is it certain they were wrong? |
| 43328 | If we came without a God, who will prove that without a God we may not go elsewhere, and that suffering may not go with us? |
| 43328 | In other words, are you willing to receive the kingdom of heaven as a little child-- to be saved, if saved you may be, in God''s own way? |
| 43328 | Is anything certain? |
| 43328 | Is it darkness for ever? |
| 43328 | Is it so? |
| 43328 | Is it worth living? |
| 43328 | Is it worth while for any man to spend his life in persuading us to make this exchange of despair? |
| 43328 | Is there a God? |
| 43328 | Is there a future existence for us? |
| 43328 | Is there a future state of existence? |
| 43328 | Is there any way in which our immortality can be assured to us as an immortal good? |
| 43328 | Is there no rift in this cloud? |
| 43328 | Is this Daniel? |
| 43328 | May I not know it to be real because I have felt its power? |
| 43328 | May it not be a reality-- a supreme reality-- though you do not see it or feel it? |
| 43328 | Must nations and men and the evening- moth alike go down and perish for ever under the crush of an inexorable fate? |
| 43328 | Nay, what assurance can Mr.---- give us that"Nature"is not a power that may in some future frenzy cast us into a state_ far worse_ than the present? |
| 43328 | Now, is it not possible that there may be something like this in religion? |
| 43328 | That is the only question that is worth asking or answering? |
| 43328 | The question still comes, Is the cause in the thing or in you? |
| 43328 | Was it all a delusion? |
| 43328 | What does it amount to? |
| 43328 | What is to be the end of it all? |
| 43328 | Which is the more reasonable? |
| 43328 | Who knows? |
| 43328 | Will you bear with me if I recall another and a later scene? |
| 43328 | Will you go now a step farther? |
| 43328 | You ask,"What_ is_''the way of settlement that the Bible opens to the great questions that press us?''" |
| 43328 | You may be a_ great_ man: are you a_ good_ man? |
| 43328 | You remember the Beethoven concert we once attended together in B----? |
| 43328 | _ Is the Bible true?_ That is the simple but momentous question; it settles all other questions of most concern to men. |
| 43328 | and how did suffering come here? |
| 43328 | or is there the light of an eternal day? |
| 43328 | said he;''pray, when and where?'' |
| 33049 | Canst thou tighten the bonds of the Pleiades,[93] Or loose the bands of Orion? 33049 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? |
| 33049 | Lo, these are but the outlines of his ways, and how faint the whisper which we hear of him-- the thunder of his power who could understand? |
| 33049 | Where is the way where light dwelleth? 33049 Where wast thou when I founded the earth? |
| 33049 | ''So careful of the type?'' |
| 33049 | :"When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; What is man that thou art mindful of him?" |
| 33049 | Again, were the separated light and darkness the morning and evening? |
| 33049 | And if this be so, is it reasonable to suppose that either, without the other, can be fully understood? |
| 33049 | Are God and Nature then at strife, That Nature lends such evil dreams? |
| 33049 | Are none of them constant in the one supposed species, and constantly absent in the other? |
| 33049 | Are not improved steam- engines or clocks the lineal descendants of some existing steam- engine or clock? |
| 33049 | Are they no greater than those which occur in other species of similar structure or habits? |
| 33049 | But admitting all this, it may be asked, Are these ancient records of any value to us? |
| 33049 | But may it not equally deride the faith of Elijah himself, when, after three years of drought, he prayed in the sight of assembled Israel for rain? |
| 33049 | But the question remains-- If there was a beginning, what existed in that beginning? |
| 33049 | But what is the meaning of evening and morning, if these days were long periods? |
| 33049 | But what made the use of these divisions necessary or appropriate? |
| 33049 | But where shall wisdom be found, And where is the place of understanding?" |
| 33049 | But with respect to the precise origin of this cosmogony, the question now arises, Is it really in substance a revelation from God to man? |
| 33049 | But, says another objector, is not the present the child of the past? |
| 33049 | Canst thou bring forth the Mazzaroth in their season, Or lead forth Arcturus and its sons? |
| 33049 | Canst thou establish a dominion even over the earth?" |
| 33049 | Did Abraham take with him in his pilgrimage the records of his people? |
| 33049 | Do these mark a different origin? |
| 33049 | Do they occur in points known in other species to be readily variable, or in points that usually remain unchanged? |
| 33049 | Dost thou know the poising of the clouds, The wonderful work of the Perfect in knowledge? |
| 33049 | Dost thou know the poising of the dark clouds, The wonderful works of the Perfect in knowledge?" |
| 33049 | Dost thou know when God disposes them, And the lightning of his cloud shines forth? |
| 33049 | Dost thou know when God disposes these things, And the lightning of his cloud flashes forth? |
| 33049 | Dost thou send forth the lightnings, and they go, And say unto thee, Here are we? |
| 33049 | Equally fine are some of the following lines:"Dost thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee? |
| 33049 | Grant this first point to science, and what farther conflict is there? |
| 33049 | Have we or can we have any certain solution of those two great questions-- Whence are all things? |
| 33049 | How could such a scene be represented in words? |
| 33049 | How is all this to be explained? |
| 33049 | How, when confined to a limited region, could he increase and multiply and replenish the earth? |
| 33049 | If one, is He an imperfect or capricious being who changes his plans of operation? |
| 33049 | If so, why is the evening mentioned first, contrary to the supposed facts of the case? |
| 33049 | In Job, 38th chapter, we have the following:"In what way is the lightning distributed, And how is the east wind spread abroad over the earth? |
| 33049 | Is there ever a new creation in art or science any more than in nature? |
| 33049 | It may be asked-- Must we suppose that the Adam of the Bible was of the type of the coarsely featured and gigantic men of the European caverns? |
| 33049 | It may still be asked-- Were not the races created as they are, with especial reference to these conditions? |
| 33049 | Knowest thou the laws of the heavens, Or hast thou appointed their dominion over the earth?" |
| 33049 | May we not now dispense with them, and trust to the light of science? |
| 33049 | No more? |
| 33049 | Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?" |
| 33049 | Or who laid its corner- stone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? |
| 33049 | Pleistocene or Glacial Age,|================================================================== The question recurs-- Why are God''s days so long? |
| 33049 | The important questions still remain: When was this trade commenced, and how rapidly did it extend itself from the sea- coast across Europe? |
| 33049 | The questions would have arisen-- Are there more creative Powers than one? |
| 33049 | The words themselves suggest the important question: Are they intended to represent this as the original condition of the earth? |
| 33049 | Under the first of these we inquire-- Are they no greater in amount than those which may be observed in individuals of the same parentage? |
| 33049 | Upon what are its foundations settled? |
| 33049 | Was it a scene of desolation and confusion when it sprang from the hand of its Creator? |
| 33049 | Was it the water''s fathomless abyss? |
| 33049 | Was the old primeval darkness the evening or night, and the first breaking forth of light morning? |
| 33049 | What covered all? |
| 33049 | What hope of answer, or redress? |
| 33049 | What is the absolute antiquity of the Palæocosmic age in Europe? |
| 33049 | What was the nature of this earliest vegetation? |
| 33049 | What, said these ancients, can have existed before the''darkness?'' |
| 33049 | What, then, are the facts in the case of man? |
| 33049 | What, then, are we to say of the imaginary"conflict of science with religion,"of which so much has been made? |
| 33049 | What, then, was the nature of the light which on the first day shone without the presence of any local luminary? |
| 33049 | When the dust groweth into mire, And the clods cleave fast together?" |
| 33049 | When thy garments become warm When he quieteth the earth by the south wind; Hast thou with him spread out the clouds Firm and like a molten mirror? |
| 33049 | Who can number the clouds by wisdom, Or cause the bottles of heaven to empty themselves? |
| 33049 | Who hath fixed the proportion thereof, if thou knowest? |
| 33049 | Who hath opened a channel for the pouring rain, Or a way for the thunder- flash? |
| 33049 | Who shut up the sea with doors In its bursting forth as from the womb? |
| 33049 | Who stretched the line upon it? |
| 33049 | Who will admit such an absurdity?" |
| 33049 | Why was the completion of the heavenly bodies so long delayed? |
| 33049 | Why was the earth thus occupied for countless ages by an animal population whose highest members were reptiles and birds? |
| 33049 | Why were light and vegetation introduced previously? |
| 33049 | and Whither do all things tend? |
| 33049 | and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, that thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and know the way to the house thereof?" |
| 33049 | what concealed? |
| 33049 | what sheltered? |
| 33049 | why, indeed, are the evening and morning mentioned at all, since on that supposition this is merely a repetition? |

| 56302 | And void? |
| 56302 | Created? |
| 56302 | Darkness was upon the face of the deep? |
| 56302 | The heaven? |
| 56302 | Without form? |
| 56302 | And how explain the entire absence of free hydrogen gas from our own atmosphere and its replacement by oxygen? |
| 56302 | But can we not go back one step farther still in the progressive stages of creative energy? |
| 56302 | But is there such an available force? |
| 56302 | But what of the vast total, of which we consume so minute a fraction? |
| 56302 | Can we indicate any relationship of periodicity for the genesis of solar systems from space? |
| 56302 | Does it mean the beginning of our own solar system? |
| 56302 | Has it, indeed, come to this, that the last word which science has to offer is,"After us the deluge"? |
| 56302 | Have the fixed stars planetary systems like our own, or not? |
| 56302 | How could the heaven and earth be void after they had been brought into existence? |
| 56302 | How now shall we explain these periodical aberrations of energy? |
| 56302 | How was the belt of asteroids formed between Mars and Jupiter? |
| 56302 | If all space is meant, where was its outside, or its face? |
| 56302 | If it was empty, what was it that was empty? |
| 56302 | If the earth was a physical structure it must have had some form; what was it? |
| 56302 | If the former, was it a faith which could only have come from the experience of after- ages? |
| 56302 | If the latter, did all other systems of space wait for their light on ours? |
| 56302 | In the"beginning"of what? |
| 56302 | Is all the rest wasted? |
| 56302 | Is it Jehovah, or Aleim, or some other God not yet mentioned or described? |
| 56302 | Is space, then, eternal, and is this constant round of energies to be eternal? |
| 56302 | Is the record anonymous or does it reveal the name of its author? |
| 56302 | Must they have such, or merely may they have? |
| 56302 | Now, whence comes this aqueous vapor surrounding all the planets? |
| 56302 | The author refers constantly to our bodies; for example,"Could we live on a planet like Neptune?" |
| 56302 | Was it a physical creation by an inconceivable action of mere thought, or will? |
| 56302 | Was it that to which the virtuous are supposed to go after death? |
| 56302 | Was it the sea not yet created? |
| 56302 | Was the creating a creation out of nothing? |
| 56302 | Was the creation a direct or an indirect one? |
| 56302 | Was the earth void like a soap- bubble? |
| 56302 | Was the earth without any form at all? |
| 56302 | Was the heaven one of these which He created, or did He create all the different heavens of all the solar systems and nebulæ at the same time? |
| 56302 | Were these statements to be accepted by faith or reason? |
| 56302 | What deep? |
| 56302 | What heaven? |
| 56302 | What is meant by this word? |
| 56302 | What is the basic principle on which depends the ratio of mean planetary distances, 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, etc., always plus 4? |
| 56302 | What is the origin of the planetary satellites and the cause of their irregular distribution, and what the origin of Saturn''s rings? |
| 56302 | What is the rational interpretation and what the origin of the sun''s corona and the cause of the coronal streamers? |
| 56302 | What is the ultimate constitution of interstellar space? |
| 56302 | What they are now who can tell?" |
| 56302 | What was the basis of faith when the record was first written? |
| 56302 | What was this life fashioned out of? |
| 56302 | What"God"is meant? |
| 56302 | What, then, becomes of the light and heat flashed forth with eternal energy from the fiery waves of the sun''s incandescent atmosphere? |
| 56302 | What, then, is the probable cause of these terrific conflagrations, as they appear to us? |
| 56302 | Whence came these powerful agencies by means of which all those distant regions became peopled with suns and worlds? |
| 56302 | Whence comes this enormous mass of hydrogen? |
| 56302 | Whence, then, came this bright light? |
| 56302 | Why is the mass of Neptune out of its proper proportion compared with those of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in a diminishing series? |
| 56302 | Why is the orbit of Neptune relatively compressed against that of Uranus? |
| 56302 | Why, then, it may be asked, is not this line of eruption continuous entirely around the sun? |
| 56302 | Would not the zodiacal light also find explanation by slow electric discharges backward from the dust towards the sun?" |
| 56302 | and did the latter originate spontaneously, or otherwise? |
| 56302 | and if so, was this thought, or will, God himself, or one of his attributes or powers only? |
| 56302 | and what occupied the intervening regions? |
| 56302 | are there no new systems now forming, and none to be formed hereafter? |
| 56302 | by the use of the forces of nature, or by overriding the forces of nature? |
| 56302 | or a vacuum? |
| 56302 | or all space? |
| 56302 | or did we wait on theirs? |
| 56302 | or merely without its present form? |
| 56302 | or of Jehovah( for He has not yet been mentioned or described)? |
| 56302 | or of all space? |
| 56302 | or of all systems? |
| 56302 | or of the Aleim themselves,--that is, did the work begin as soon as the forces began? |
| 56302 | or something coexisting elsewhere? |
| 56302 | or the earth, which is anything but a"deep"? |
| 56302 | or void like a ray of light? |
| 56302 | or was it based on the ipse dixit of Moses? |
| 56302 | or was it some more physical heaven? |
| 56302 | or without some particular form not mentioned? |
| 56302 | out of something pre- existing? |
| 56302 | was it a physical face or the face of a vacuum? |
| 56302 | was it from generally accepted tradition or by revelation? |
| 56302 | was it the atmosphere? |
| 59651 | But how is its tone sustained? 59651 Shall it be seriously objected to the application of the sciences to philosophical problems that its results are not agreeable? |
| 59651 | Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? |
| 59651 | ( 1) How could God have light when the sun was not made? |
| 59651 | ( 2) How can God create a planet, this earth? |
| 59651 | ( 2) In what season of the year were they planted? |
| 59651 | ( 3) Did these thrive and flourish in the absence of sunlight? |
| 59651 | ( 3) Does it not seem strange that God, who seemed to have direct dealings with Moses, did not give him more information about it? |
| 59651 | ( 3) Who was the first man that received this information? |
| 59651 | ( 5) Is it not highly probable that the man who first told this story might also have invented it? |
| 59651 | ( That was three thousand years ago; how is it with us?) |
| 59651 | ( You know he asked God for wisdom and God gave it to him; why did not God keep him wise?) |
| 59651 | A perfect part of a perfect whole? |
| 59651 | After how many generations or centuries was this news published, and to whom? |
| 59651 | And is the nervous system subservient to the soul? |
| 59651 | And was it possible for God to overcome the laws of gravitation? |
| 59651 | And what are they doing now? |
| 59651 | And why should alcohol have such a peculiar effect upon the master tissues of the body? |
| 59651 | Are not fish, fowl, and whales living creatures? |
| 59651 | At what period of fetal development is it that the soul enters the body? |
| 59651 | Because he built the temple and made profuse exhibition of his gold and silver? |
| 59651 | Because he had an immense number of chariots and soldiers, decked with costly trappings? |
| 59651 | Besides, if it was in an aqueous solution what became of the sixty- two elementary substances that never enter into the composition of water? |
| 59651 | Bigotry? |
| 59651 | But if we concede that this earth has a God, what right have we to assume that each other planet has not a god of its own? |
| 59651 | But what forms the brake, and by what agency is it held, while it rubs against the sun? |
| 59651 | But what is the burning matter which can thus maintain itself? |
| 59651 | But-- where is Jehova all this while? |
| 59651 | Can a jockey or a prizefighter have feelings like these? |
| 59651 | Can any man be so silly as to believe that an almanac was made before man was created? |
| 59651 | Can anyone conceive a more meaningless set of phrases? |
| 59651 | Can it be possible that our Christian neighbors believe that the life and conduct of Saul was directed by any supreme power? |
| 59651 | Can the soul deteriorate, be injured or be afflicted? |
| 59651 | Can we detect the presence of any of our terrestrial substances in the sun?... |

| 59651 | Does anyone, except the most ignorant, believe any of the items contained in the above creed? |
| 59651 | Does every human being receive a like quality and quantity? |
| 59651 | Does it not bar proper inquiry into the phenomena of nature? |
| 59651 | Does it not encourage a cowardly dependence on priestcraft and hypocritical cunning? |
| 59651 | Does it not extinguish every impulse towards the evolution of thought? |
| 59651 | Does it not seem strange that the different numerical combinations of the same elements should have such different effects upon the animal system? |
| 59651 | Does it not seem strange that the only animal mentioned in the fifth and sixth days''performance is the whale? |
| 59651 | Does it not stamp out the energies and aspirations of man and woman? |
| 59651 | Does not this rigid system of changeless belief prevent intellectual development? |
| 59651 | Does the soul possess all the excellences and qualities theologians claim for it? |
| 59651 | Does the will power reside in the soul? |
| 59651 | Does there exist in this mass of organized protoplasm anything that may be called divine? |
| 59651 | Does your kindergarten church teach aught that corrects the above evils? |
| 59651 | Dollars and cents? |
| 59651 | Envy and jealousy prevented his ever assuming the crown of Egypt, but what was to hinder him becoming the head and leader of his own people? |
| 59651 | For centuries these explanations and interpretations have been going on-- over what? |
| 59651 | For whom? |
| 59651 | For whose use? |
| 59651 | From idiocy or imbecility? |
| 59651 | God inquires with a Chinese simplicity,"Where art thou?" |
| 59651 | Has he a soul? |

| 59651 | Has humanity improved? |
| 59651 | Has it an existence separate and apart from the body? |

| 59651 | Has the Roman Catholic church receded one step from her antiquated ecclesiastical position? |
| 59651 | Have they advanced the cause of humanity? |
| 59651 | Have they done any good upon earth? |
| 59651 | Have they not as much right to have each of them a god as this earth is supposed to have? |

| 59651 | He opens his ears to the winds, and asks them, Whence and whither? |
| 59651 | Here is an instructive example of teaching:"What is the blessed Eucharist? |

| 59651 | How was it, if their gods were not more potent, that they should win so many battles, and enslave the nation of the true God? |
| 59651 | If God made man, why did he not make him properly to begin with, so as to suit himself at least? |
| 59651 | If God was a fool big enough to make him bad, or silly, why should he be responsible? |
| 59651 | If evaporation and consolidation exist why should there not be aqueous vapor, rain, etc.? |
| 59651 | If so, in what? |
| 59651 | If so, to whom? |
| 59651 | If so, where? |
| 59651 | Ignorance? |
| 59651 | In the history of the Catholic church? |
| 59651 | In this connection we may ask, Is alcohol a food? |
| 59651 | In what degree does the soul differ in the civilized and in uncivilized man? |
| 59651 | In what state does it exist previous to entering the body? |
| 59651 | Is humanity any wiser to- day than these poor ignorant creatures were at the time Paul was trying to get a new idea into their untutored brain? |
| 59651 | Is it a something entire and complete in itself? |
| 59651 | Is it not the dawn of love, the transitory period, that bridge of nervous exaltation that leads from puberty to maternity? |
| 59651 | Is it not time that men of intelligence, in this age of progress and civilization we boast so much of, cease to pretend to believe such nonsense? |
| 59651 | Is it self- acting and self- existing? |
| 59651 | Is not our high state of nervous development largely due to that struggle? |
| 59651 | Is not the act of prayer a humiliating acknowledgement either of an enfeebled mind or of a contemptible slave? |
| 59651 | Is not the kneeling and praying before some daub of a picture or the figure of some supposed God or saint debasing and degrading to the individual? |

| 59651 | May not the god of Venus have a preëmptory claim to the godship of this planetary system? |
| 59651 | May we not ask, Is not our present high state of civilization the natural outcome of our necessities in the struggle to exist? |
| 59651 | May we not assume that it is both possible and probable? |
| 59651 | Of course, what could they do otherwise than yield? |
| 59651 | Of what good is the talking of spiritual welfare, salvation, and heaven to a hungry stomach? |
| 59651 | Of what use are they? |
| 59651 | Of what use are your incense, your prayer, and your blessing, your self- conceited holiness, your pretended sanctity, and your priestly hypocrisy? |
| 59651 | Or does it enter at birth? |
| 59651 | Or have the orthodox Protestants? |
| 59651 | Or in disease of the meninges( coverings); or in case of insanity, whatever morbid cause might have produced that condition, where is the soul? |
| 59651 | Or is it a mere mechanical effort, accompanied by an extraordinary amount of insincerity and actual duplicity of character? |
| 59651 | Or is the soul already trained, educated, and possessed of all the knowledge that is now known or likely to be known? |
| 59651 | Or stupidity? |

| 59651 | THE SOUL-- WHAT IS IT? |
| 59651 | That God directed Saul to do so many foolish, barbarous, and murderous acts? |
| 59651 | That ideas, thought, consciousness, intellect, understanding, imagination, knowledge, etc., etc., are but the functions of nervous matter? |
