28710 | Was it mythical? |
9199 | And whence did He derive the material for it?" |
9199 | But then arises the other great question:"How is this primary mass related to the cosmic ether? |
9199 | Do these two original substances stand in fundamental and eternal antithesis to one another? |
9199 | Is there such a thing? |
9199 | Or was it the mobile ether itself, perhaps, that originally engendered the heavy mass? |
9199 | Structure: dynamical; Structure: atomic, discontinuous, continuous, elastic substance, inelastic substance, not composed of atoms(?) |
9199 | What was He doing before creation? |
9199 | composed of atoms(?)] |
34067 | He continues:-- How many testimonies of this violence which is in love, are daily found? |
34067 | Now which of these systems has ever consoled an afflicted heart, or repeopled a lonely one? |

34067 | What else could he say?" |
34067 | Which of these teachers has ever shown men how to wipe away a tear? |
30709 | What is the dire necessity and''iron''law under which you groan? |
30709 | But then the question arose, Is mind the originating source of the movements of matter, or is it not rather itself the product of them? |

30709 | Is Christianity Miraculous? |
30709 | Is a Revolution in Pentateuchal Criticism at Hand? |
30709 | Is there any connexion of development to be traced whereby life can be shewn to have arisen from inorganic matter? |
30709 | Nay, might they not feel, if there were no such assurance, that it would be better to be altogether without His presence and influence? |
30709 | Shall I Believe? |
30709 | These were the chief of them:-- Is it any longer necessary, or even possible, to insist upon a First Cause for all that exists? |

30709 | What was there to be said to bring relief to the mind and heart when charges were made against the benevolence and beneficence of Nature''s ways? |
26397 | And when the poet asks,--"Ah, what will our children be, The men of a hundred thousand, a million summers away?" |
26397 | But how is miracle to be differentiated from other providential dealings of God? |
26397 | But what does this mean, except that, when no miracles occur, God is not personally,_ i.e._ actively, in the chain of natural causes and effects? |
26397 | Does it require acceptance of these, as well as of its teachings? |
26397 | FOOTNOTES:[ 35]"The Church asks, and it is entitled to ask the critic: Do you believe in the Incarnation and Resurrection of Jesus Christ?... |
26397 | Is it, as they have been told, dependent for its attestation on signs and wonders occurring in the sphere of the senses? |
26397 | Is not this less improbable than that the natural order of the universe should have been set aside?" |
26397 | Or could it have been a material body suddenly becoming visible in a closed room, as narrated by Luke and John? |
26397 | The boy Zerah Colburn in half a minute solved the problem,"How many seconds since the beginning of the Christian era?" |
26397 | These alternatives are before us: Is the maximum or the minimum meaning to be assigned to the crucial word"dead"? |
26397 | What, indeed, but a revised and true in place of a mistaken conception of the term_ Supernatural_? |
26397 | Why may not the resuscitations in Christ''s time possibly have been similar cases? |
26397 | Will it be replied to this that the critics can show for their hypothesis the admitted fact of the human proclivity to invent legends of miracle? |
26397 | [ 22] Was Jesus aware that Lazarus was really not dead? |
26397 | [ 33] How, then, is it consistent to affirm that no such marvels in ancient records are historical realities? |
26397 | [ 46] Could it have been only an apparition? |
35772 | The true SHEKINAH is Man: where else is the GOD''S PRESENCE manifested, not to our eyes only, but to our hearts, as in our fellow- man? |
35772 | To the eye of vulgar Logic what is man? 35772 [ 73] THE PROBLEM OF LIFE.--The problem is: What is it in an organism which causes it to behave in a fashion so impossible for any machine? |
35772 | [ 77] SOME DEDUCTIONS FROM HISTORY.--But, it may be asked, what definite conclusions have the foregoing chapters to offer? 35772 ( Hence the question, How is pure mathematics possible? 35772 Before asking,_ What_ do I know? 35772 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INTELLECT.--What is theintellect,"to which we look in vain for any_ complete_ explanation of existence? |
35772 | Can our systematised knowledge sanction a religious attitude? |
35772 | Can we know reality? |
35772 | He begins by asking, How, as a matter of history, has human intellect developed? |

35772 | He then, and then only, proceeds to put the question( which uncritical thinkers always put_ first_), What can the intellect do for us? |
35772 | How did these innumerable species naturally and automatically come into being? |
35772 | How does the one affect the other? |

35772 | Will it return? |
35772 | Will the whole Finance Ministers and Upholsterers and Confectioners of modern Europe undertake, in jointstock company, to make one Shoeblack Happy? |
35772 | [ 72] Professor J. Arthur Thomson, in an article entitled,"Is there one Science of Nature?" |
35772 | the preliminary question should be,_ How_ do I know? |
25931 | What is the Reality? |
25931 | But let us carry this one step further: can we, by our analogy of Matter praying, understand why"the knowledge of God is Everlasting Life"? |
25931 | Can the whole firmamental creation in its turn be nothing but a corner of some mightier scheme? |
25931 | How then can we get a base line for our telescopes longer than the whole width of the earth? |
25931 | Is there no way then by which we can continue our journey further towards the appreciation of this infinity? |
25931 | May we not even glimpse at the future to which evolution is carrying us? |
25931 | The question,"What is Truth?" |
25931 | VIEW THREE MYSTICISM AND SYMBOLISM"Who can doubt that the Mystics know more than the Theologians, and that the Poets know more than the Scientists? |

25931 | What has been the result of our investigation? |
25931 | What is this wonderful sense? |
25931 | What qualification was required of those who attended his Academy? |
25931 | What, then, determined this sudden change, resulting in a wonderful accession of beauty to Architectural design? |
25931 | and is not that exactly what I have done? |
34019 | But why should one take trouble to insist upon the advance of science and art in the medieval city? 34019 Does it not seem to you that we have rightly and deservedly departed from the curiosity of all these men, so idle and so full of error?" |
34019 | --"_tantaene animae celestibus irae_"--and we might be tempted to ask, can there be such foolish intolerance on the part of scientific teachers? |
34019 | 1 May Catholics dissect? |
34019 | But it will at once be said, what of Galileo? |
34019 | Dante says:--"Perceive ye not we are of a wormlike kind, Born to bring forth the angel butterfly, That soars to Judgment, and no screen doth find? |
34019 | Does not his case show the anti- scientific temper of churchmen? |
34019 | How do our cities of 100,000 inhabitants compare with it?) |
34019 | Long ago Virgil asked in a famous line,"Is it possible that there can be such great wrath in divine minds?" |
34019 | Should we not rather maintain that they helped save science from its enemies? |

34019 | Why doth your soul lift up itself on high? |
34019 | Why should a permission be necessary, however, will be asked? |
34019 | With these seven centuries can we not properly compare the later seven in which the Christian Fathers were the teachers of the civilized world? |
34019 | Yet what writer of to- day rises to charge them with a cardinal sin, because Science remained at a standstill among them for seven full centuries? |
34019 | _ Analogous Examples_.--Should we be surprised, then, if men so occupied failed to add much to the world''s store of scientific knowledge? |
34019 | asked Where is it?" |
30126 | By whose interpretation, yours or mine? |
30126 | And, still further, he interprets the Bible in the light(?) |
30126 | But do you see where this brings us? |
30126 | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?" |
30126 | But suppose a man should seek to know spiritual truth and yet refuse to surrender his heart to Christ in faith, then what? |
30126 | But suppose the inquirer doubts the possibility of entering into a scientific knowledge of spiritual truth by following this formula, what then? |
30126 | For Satan raised a question about the Word,--"Yea, hath God said?" |
30126 | For how can faith in an inerrant Bible and unbelief in its inerrancy abide in harmony in the same house? |
30126 | For how can finite man relate and interpret the few and scattered facts he discovers in the realm of infinite truth? |
30126 | Foster, in the Chicago University Divinity School: Is there no place to assail Christianity but a divinity school? |
30126 | God responsible for the unspeakable woe and the unmeasured suffering of man? |
30126 | God the author of that inherent force in man''s nature which has filled the earth with hatred, violence, bloodshed, and death? |
30126 | Has present- day science anything to say about this? |

30126 | Is pantheism true? |
30126 | Is there no one to write infidel books except the professors of Christian theology? |
30126 | These questions are: If the Bible is wrong in history, what guarantee is there that it is right in morals? |
30126 | What can this mean but that Spencer saw, at least dimly, the radical difference between the intellectual and the spiritual faculties? |
30126 | What reason more can the Church want to justify her for intolerance of a theory that will do this to a man''s faith? |
30126 | When did the Church ever try to force a man, educated or ignorant, to give up what he knows to be facts in order to become a Christian? |
30126 | When was a man ever asked by Christian schools to choose between the assured results and methods of scientific investigation and loyalty to Christ? |
30126 | Where lies the cause? |
28677 | And how shall we harmonize the quotations? |
28677 | Another step and we have entered on the world of retribution, but what retribution is it? |
28677 | Are we to die as a nation, over the ballot- box? |
28677 | Are you in him? |
28677 | Can we find no brighter, higher principles in the human character? |
28677 | Can you hear a man speaking in a dead language? |

28677 | Do we pray one way and vote another? |
28677 | Do you ask how shall I enter the door? |
28677 | Do you say this is not the way? |
28677 | Have you faith in God and in his word? |
28677 | Have you no interest in this open door? |
28677 | How is this? |
28677 | How is this? |
28677 | How is this? |
28677 | How very different is the Christian''s future happy home? |
28677 | How was this? |
28677 | Is it Polytheism or Monotheism? |
28677 | Is it a filthy pool? |
28677 | Is it the world of peace and joy? |
28677 | Is it true of us, that we carry the seeds of our own destruction as a nation in our own bosom? |
28677 | Is its leading thought of many gods, found in all religions? |
28677 | Is the fundamental thought of either found in all the others? |
28677 | It will be of interest also to mark the improvements(?) |
28677 | Now, which is it that shades all religions? |
28677 | O, why should the pages of this book of books be burthened with such things? |
28677 | On Pentecost, when hundreds were convicted of their sins, and said, What shall we do? |
28677 | Second, is religion human or Divine in its origin? |
28677 | Shall we be so foolish? |
28677 | Shall we look to this? |
28677 | Some people say to me:''How can you vote for Garfield when he is a Christian and was a preacher?'' |
28677 | Then, why? |
28677 | They are these: First, was Polytheism or Monotheism the primitive religion? |
28677 | Well, well; how shall we understand this? |
28677 | Were these thoughts the thoughts of men only, or were they too high for us? |
28677 | Were those disciples who received the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins before Pentecost out of Christ-- uncleansed-- unwashed? |
28677 | What was it for? |
28677 | When was this and what was it for? |
28677 | Why is it that all men are not put into Christ? |
28677 | Will any one pretend that Polytheism is the primitive religion? |
28677 | Will you come and enter by the Lord Jesus, become a child of God by faith in Jesus Christ, being baptized into Christ? |
28677 | Will you enter Christ, or wait to be put into Christ? |
28677 | or is it the region of tribulation and anguish? |
42968 | And what becomes of the consciousness of the"immortal soul"when it no longer has the use of these organs? |
42968 | Do we find in every phase of it a lofty moral principle or a wise ruler, guiding the destinies of nations? |
42968 | Does the physicist investigate the purpose of electric force, or the chemist that of atomic weight? |
42968 | Has it been_ created_ by supernatural power, or has it been_ evolved_ by a natural process? |
42968 | How do animals evolve from ova? |
42968 | How does the plant come forth from the seed? |
42968 | How is the child formed in the mother''s womb? |
42968 | How would that be possible if consciousness were an immaterial entity, independent of these anatomical organs? |
42968 | May we consider this progressive development as the outcome of a conscious design or a moral order of the universe? |
42968 | Or will he return to an earlier stage of development? |
42968 | Phylogeny has to answer the much more obscure and difficult question:"What is the origin of the different organic species of plants and animals?" |
42968 | That gave us the solution of the great philosophic problem:"How can purposive contrivances be produced by purely mechanical processes without design?" |
42968 | What are the causes and the manner of this evolution? |
42968 | What is its relation to the"mind"? |
42968 | What is the difference between"intellect"and"reason"? |
42968 | What is the difference between"sensation"and"sentiment"? |

42968 | Will truth e''er be delivered if ye your forces rend?" |
17194 | ''Why callest thou Me good? |
17194 | Against this evidence what is to be said? |
17194 | And we have to consider the two questions, What has Revelation to say concerning Evolution? |
17194 | At what point is there room in this case for any responsibility? |
17194 | But if a man do believe there is a God, what kind of evidence ought he to expect to show him that God has interfered in the course of the creation? |
17194 | But if it be his character, then follows the further question, what determines his character? |
17194 | But what causes these variations? |
17194 | But''Why askest thou Me to do this? |
17194 | By what means then can a man keep his spiritual perception in full activity? |
17194 | His third,''why not as far as the moon?'' |
17194 | How can I be held responsible for what is the pure result of the circumstances in which I was born? |
17194 | If his action be determined by something which is not himself, how can the moral burden of it be put on him? |
17194 | Is all this mere chance? |
17194 | Is the future soul wrapped up in it from the first, and dormant till the hour of awakening comes? |
17194 | May not Science go back to the time when these processes had not yet begun? |
17194 | May not the starting- point of the history of the universe be a condition in which the simple elements were still uncombined? |
17194 | Now to deal with this second assertion first, we must ask what is the nature of the evidence that would be deemed sufficient? |
17194 | Now, how have these compounds been formed? |
17194 | Religion, on the other hand, tells every man that he is responsible, and how can he be responsible if he is not free? |
17194 | The narrative is not touched by the question, Was this a single act done in a moment, or a process lasting through millions of years? |
17194 | The sequence of things can not otherwise be explained; but why should the sequence of all things that happen be capable of being explained? |
17194 | This then is the answer to the question, Why do we believe in the uniformity of Nature? |
17194 | What evidence, then, is there in the world of phenomena that He has ever thus interfered? |
17194 | What is felt to be yet wanting? |
17194 | What is its justification? |
17194 | What is its source? |
17194 | What right have we to assume this Uniformity in Nature? |
17194 | What right have we to make such an assumption as this? |
17194 | What, if any, are its limits? |
17194 | Why should the wonderful grace, and delicacy, and harmony of tint be added? |
17194 | Why then should religious men independently of its relation to revelation shrink from it, as very many unquestionably do? |
17194 | Why then these attempts? |
17194 | and what determines what they shall be? |
17194 | and what has Science to say concerning Miracles? |
17194 | or is it given at some moment in the development? |
42466 | ( 2) How many may be regarded as modifications of previous species? |
42466 | ( 3) How many are migrants from other regions where they have been known to exist previously? |
42466 | ( 4) How many are absolutely new species? |
42466 | --literally,"Canst thou sound the depths of God?" |
42466 | Are we elevated on a pedestal, so to speak, above nature? |
42466 | Are, then, these people the types of any ancient, or of the most ancient, European race? |
42466 | But is this a mere superstition, or have they reason for it? |
42466 | But the question arises, What is the monistic power beyond these-- the"power behind nature"? |
42466 | Did he live in that wide Post- Pliocene continent which extended westward through Ireland? |
42466 | Does this conception of natural law give us any warrant for the idea that the universe is a product of chance? |
42466 | Had he visited or seen from afar the great island Atlantis, whose inhabitants could almost see in the sunset sky the islands of the blest? |
42466 | Here we raise a question which should perhaps have been considered earlier: Is man himself actually a part of what we call nature? |
42466 | How can he separate the true from the false? |
42466 | How were the five- fingered limbs acquired in this abrupt way? |
42466 | If it was originally in one mass, whence came the incalculable power by which it was rent into innumerable suns and systems? |
42466 | Is it meant that the things are actually alike or only apparently so? |
42466 | Is it not the highest realization of all that we can conceive of the plans of superhuman intelligence? |
42466 | Is it the material organism or any one of its organs or parts? |
42466 | Is nature the universe outside of us, containing the things that we study and which constitute our environment? |
42466 | Is the universe self- existent, or does it show evidence of creative power and divinity? |
42466 | Is this automatism? |
42466 | Is this machinery? |
42466 | It may be asked, Is there, then, no place in the geological record even for theistic evolution? |
42466 | Must he resign himself to the condition of one who either believes on mere authority or refuses to believe anything? |
42466 | Or did he live at a later time, after the Post- Pliocene subsidence, and when the land had assumed its present form? |
42466 | That instinct is hereditary is evident; but the question is, How did it begin? |
42466 | The real question is,"Is there a God who manifests himself to us mediately and practically?" |
42466 | The writer of the book of Job puts this as plainly as any modern agnostic in the passage beginning"Canst thou by searching find out God?" |
42466 | We have already noticed the arts and implements of these people, but what manner of people were they in themselves? |
42466 | What is the_ ego_ which he admits? |
42466 | What proof is there of the spontaneous evolution of living forms from inorganic matter? |
42466 | Who knows? |
42466 | Why may it not be so with resistance in general? |
42466 | Why should it be otherwise in things belonging to the domains of reason and conscience? |
42466 | Why were they five rather than any other number? |
42466 | Why, when once introduced, have they continued unchanged up to the present day? |
42466 | or is it something distinct, of which the organism is merely the garment, or outward manifestation? |
42466 | or is the organism itself anything more than a bundle of appearances partially known and scarcely understood by that which calls itself"I"? |
42466 | or must he adopt the attitude of the Pyrrhonist who thinks that anything may be either true or false? |
42466 | or, on the other hand, does nature include man himself? |
16942 | ''Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'' |
16942 | ''Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?'' |
16942 | And is it not probable that the materialistic position( discredited even by philosophy) is due simply to custom and want of imagination? |
16942 | Are you highly intellectual? |
16942 | But how if I attempt to think of such a series as antecedent to_ all_ actions throughout the universe...? |
16942 | But the answer always should be to move the ulterior question-- what is the nature of natural causation? |
16942 | But, observe, it is not one and the same thing to ask, Is the will entirely determined from without? |
16942 | Else why the inextinguishable instincts? |
16942 | Given the facts of heredity, variation, struggle for existence, and the consequent survival of the fittest, what follows? |
16942 | Hence the whole controversy ought to be seen by both sides to resolve itself into this-- is or is not the will determined by_ x_? |
16942 | How do you know? |
16942 | If He did not know, why should He, if He had previously''emptied Himself''of omniscience? |
16942 | If determined from without, is there any room for freedom, in the sense required for saving the doctrine of moral responsibility? |
16942 | If it is said that they in turn were determined by the outcome of previous systems, how about these systems? |
16942 | If the''first Man''was allegorical, why not the''second''? |
16942 | Is it phenomenal or ontological; ultimate or derivative? |
16942 | Is it said that there are compensating enjoyments? |
16942 | Is it satisfactory? |
16942 | Or are you but a peasant in your parish church, with knowledge of little else than your Bible? |
16942 | Or how can it be said that, in point of fact, there_ has_ been a waste, or_ has_ been a sacrifice? |
16942 | Or if form were supposed necessary for man as distinguished from God, that he was to be an angel? |
16942 | The important question for us is, Has God spoken through the medium of our religious instincts? |
16942 | The question is only: Is such a process_ per se_ incompatible with the hypothesis of design? |
16942 | The question is, Are these facts of adaptation_ per se_ sufficient evidence of design as their cause? |
16942 | What then is he to do? |
16942 | What, then, is the value of the inference? |
16942 | Why was it not said that the''soul''alone should survive as a disembodied''spirit''? |
16942 | Will the teleologist maintain that this selective process is itself indicative of special design? |

22150 | And who would have dared to suggest the further doctrine: matter can also feel and get a consciousness of things? |
22150 | Finally, who would have dared even to say: matter can also become a self- conscious and free personality? |
22150 | For where we are no longer able to find secondary causes, who can assert that God no longer uses any? |
22150 | For{ 145} whence does the whole richness of the appearances in the world come? |
22150 | Have they originated from illusions, and do they lead to illusions? |
22150 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" |
22150 | How does the material become something that is felt? |
22150 | How therefore, can we look upon such an organ, when finally it is perfect, as a product of selection in the sense of Darwin?" |
22150 | Is it not just possible that there is a mode of being as much transcending Intelligence and Will, as these transcend mechanical motion? |
22150 | Is there even a single scientific description conceivable without its being full of anthropomorphisms? |
22150 | Now, we ask: Is this biogenetic maxim correct? |
22150 | Now, what is this end? |
22150 | Should, then, the highest instincts of the highest creature on earth alone make an exception? |
22150 | Such a diligent work can certainly not be without gain; but wherein will this gain consist? |
22150 | The three questions are: How has the living sprung from that which is without life? |
22150 | We then could not avoid the question: what, according to the conception of the author, did God do in these six nights of his week of creation? |
22150 | What difference in rank, for instance, is there between an oyster and a cuttle- fish? |
22150 | What else set free those active causes, at the right time and in the right place? |
22150 | What is the demonstrable cause( not the condition, but the cause) of a sentient subject? |
22150 | Where the realm of visible causes ceases and that of the invisible begins, who can exclude secondary causes? |
22150 | Wherein lies the real necessity that there should be sensation? |
22150 | While, therefore, Strauss, to the question,"Are we still Christians?" |
22150 | Why not? |
22150 | Would not a_ beginning_ of mankind be really lost, in case that theory of evolution should gain authority? |
22150 | between a cochineal and a bee or ant? |
22150 | gives an emphatic"No,"he answers the question,"Have we still a religion?" |
22150 | or have we to look for the answer to these questions, which natural science can no longer give, in another science-- namely, philosophy? |
22150 | the sentient( and conscious) being from that which is without sensation? |
22150 | which will more probably be preserved and procreate offspring? |
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? |

28673 | Do you see? |
28673 | Do you tell us that society made language? |
28673 | Does not the law say''It is the soul that sinneth that shall die?'' |
28673 | Hartman and Binius, in more modern times, flatter her prudence and piety(?). |
28673 | Has the history of humanity furnished a single case in which a person, perfectly deaf during all his life, had the ability to speak words? |
28673 | Have we not the most certain evidence of the existence of mind? |
28673 | He that arranged the vocal powers of man, could He not speak? |
28673 | He that created the ear, could He not hear? |
28673 | Here it is: Theodorus and Theophanes extol that vile woman for her VIRTUE AND EXCELLENCE(?). |
28673 | How is this? |

28673 | Is it not unreasonable to suppose that the author of man''s being took no delight in him? |

28673 | Is not reasoning a proof that there is something which reasons? |
28673 | Is there any place in your nature where life and death, or heaven and hell, can meet in festive joys? |

28673 | It is this: How many teeth have you got in your mouth; how many does a man have? |
28673 | Just now there is no question put so often by men who feign to be unbelievers as,"What do you think of Colonel Ingersoll?" |
28673 | LANGUAGE AND RELIGION, FROM WHENCE? |
28673 | One question, and only one, will be of interest to me in the judgment, and that is this, how have I lived? |
28673 | Shall we say that the history of the gospel is a pure fiction? |
28673 | Suppose we test the merits of the case in this manner, then who are your infidels that will compare with Jesus Christ and his apostles? |
28673 | TO WHOM ARE WE INDEBTED? |
28673 | That you may remember it, I will repeat it once more, it is this: who did the first man hear in order to learn the talker''s trade? |
28673 | The facts developed at this point ought to be remembered, and the question, why can the deaf, described, never talk? |
28673 | The question possible came up, Whence came they, and all the other things which I now see and hear? |
28673 | The question therefore comes back again, have we any knowledge of mind? |
28673 | Their inventive genius is equally vigorous; this being true, why should the defect of the ear deprive them of the power of speech? |
28673 | WHERE DID LANGUAGE COME FROM? |
28673 | WHO, OR WHAT, IS THAT CAUSE? |
28673 | Was it death in sin? |
28673 | Was it physical death? |

28673 | Where are your persons of such profound understanding? |
28673 | Where, and under what circumstances, were their schools established? |
28673 | Who can blame men who never heard any thing better for being unbelievers? |
28673 | Who counted him guilty of the whole? |
28673 | Who?" |
28673 | Why do the life- long deaf never talk? |
28673 | Why not? |
28673 | Why should any sensible man attribute such dealings to the Father of Spirits? |
28673 | Why this modification in the teachings of evolutionists? |
28673 | Will the Deist answer this question? |
28673 | Will you obey Him and live? |
28673 | Would you like to have an organ which would enable you to see spirits? |
28673 | or, with such men, even, as Milton, Clarendon, Hale, Bacon, Boyle, Locke, Newton, Addison, Lyttleton, West, Johnson and Campbell? |

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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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? |

28672 | Come, gentlemen; how is this? |
28672 | Could you write the history of your origin, of your birth, without the aid of some one older than yourself? |
28672 | Did an eternal life- germ evolve all the forms of organic life known upon our earth? |
28672 | Did it always exist? |
28672 | Did these do more than animated intelligence can do? |
28672 | Did you have the powers of observation in active exercise, watching every movement among the causes that brought you into being? |

28672 | Does this have the right ring? |
28672 | Fathers and mothers, where are your children? |
28672 | From a state of death? |
28672 | From whence did they come, and how? |
28672 | Gentlemen, will you get away with this conclusion? |
28672 | Have you taught them? |
28672 | Have you weighed the matter I gave you in our last interview? |
28672 | I suppose you are now ready to ask,"Is it not a scientific truth that matter is eternal?" |
28672 | If so, is this not evolution backwards? |
28672 | If unintelligent dead matter has performed the feat, without wisdom or design, why should it not be performed by living intelligent Nature? |
28672 | If you ca n''t are you not below the inanimate Nature which did it for the first time? |
28672 | If you found it in the book of Nature and read it there, you can tell me on what page it is written? |
28672 | If you leave the Bible, to what will you go? |
28672 | In the so- called realms of free- thought is there nothing hard to believe? |
28672 | Is a moneron an eternal life germ? |
28672 | Is it not hard to believe all this about Jesus, and at the same time believe that he gave to the world a false religion? |
28672 | Is it not possible that you have obtained your intelligence from another source-- from what I call the revelation of the Creator? |
28672 | Is it not retrogression, or development at the expense of the loss of power to rise to the plane of unintelligent mind and life evolving nature? |
28672 | Is life, perception and understanding essential to matter, as such? |
28672 | Is senseless matter perfectly wise, without consciousness? |

28672 | What is the cause of the character they ascribe to the Christ? |
28672 | What is there which he can not believe? |
28672 | What was the cause of the teachings of the apostles, whose sincerity was such that they died for their religion? |
28672 | Where, gentlemen, O where will you place mind? |
28672 | Which theory ascribes the more intelligence to God-- the Deist''s or the Christian''s? |
28672 | Why is this? |
28672 | Will it no more be said that--"Not a truth has to art or to science been given, But brows have ached for it, and souls toiled and striven?" |
28672 | Will not all our brethren speak out upon this subject? |
28672 | Without antecedent life and mind being drawn upon? |
28672 | Would an act of wisdom reveal to man the true object of worship? |
28672 | Would wisdom and love tell him what is right? |
28672 | You say inanimate Nature produced life and mind without the previous existence of either; can you duplicate that feat with your power? |
28672 | _ Christian._ Are you certain of this? |
28672 | _ Christian._ Are you sure that Nature ever gave the history of her origin, of her birth? |
28672 | _ Question._ Were they the effects of an inadequate cause? |
28672 | _ Reason._ Tell it vocally? |
28672 | _ Wonderful advice!_ Do such men let religion alone? |
28672 | do you read it in the book of Nature, or does she tell it vocally? |
28672 | how was she qualified to do so? |
28672 | is it also nothing? |
28672 | will you do this so that I may read it too? |

28669 | Can you give a reason for your present infidelity? |
28669 | Do they fear him and trust in him? |
28669 | Do they love and obey him? |
28669 | Do you not now, as well as then, occupy unreasonable ground? |
28669 | Does Christianity make worse parents and worse children? |
28669 | Does a man''s ability in discerning and his truthfulness in reporting depend upon the skill or ignorance of those who hear? |
28669 | Does he mean that they are not biographies-- books containing, in their historic matter, an account of the authors_ themselves_? |
28669 | Does it make husbands and wives, friends and neighbors less trustworthy? |
28669 | Does it not make men and women more virtuous and happy in every situation in life? |
28669 | First: Who can measure the extent of natural possibilities? |
28669 | Gentlemen atheists, am I correct in this conclusion? |
28669 | Gentlemen, have you any reply? |
28669 | Have you heard him speak? |
28669 | Have you seen God? |
28669 | Having rather conceded that atheists are fools, and turned_ deists_, are you really any better off? |
28669 | How came it into the world? |
28669 | How could men be persuaded that adultery should be punished when they were taught from infancy that it was a virtue among the gods? |
28669 | How did you obtain this idea? |
28669 | How do we judge and believe respecting the authorship of other ancient books? |
28669 | How few people do, or will, understand that the terms of salvation are written as with the beams of the sun? |
28669 | How is this? |
28669 | How many Gideons are there among leading infidels whose soul- piety would resist such a temptation as that? |
28669 | How many talk about religion who set aside a great portion of the word of God as worse than useless? |
28669 | How was it with Christ? |
28669 | How will you account for this? |
28669 | If Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did not write those books which bear their names, then are they false in fact? |
28669 | If we had we could not be honest without being Christians? |
28669 | Is it a greater thing to give life to a body once dead than to a body that never was alive? |
28669 | Is it not the truth that fools are wiser in their own conceit than men who can give a reason? |
28669 | Is the sun of righteousness low in your spiritual heavens? |
28669 | Is the trouble a low degree of faith, approximating unbelief? |
28669 | Is this a simple or compound idea? |
28669 | It costs our author nothing but a stroke of his pen to invent the''Chordonia,''and whence did they come? |
28669 | May it not be because they prefer all other business and pleasures before this? |
28669 | Mr. Paine, did the God of the Bible approve of the Jewish royalty? |
28669 | Now, gentlemen, is not this all that the imagination can do? |
28669 | Or have you given him the uppermost seat in your affections? |
28669 | Or when saw we thee sick and in prison, and came unto thee? |
28669 | Reason timidly says:"Mr. C., in your very severe strictures on the deists, are you not condemning yourself? |
28669 | Say, was Thomas Paine an infidel when he wrote that? |
28669 | The fathers, where are they? |
28669 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee; or thirsty, and gave thee drink? |
28669 | There stands a clock; it keeps correct time, but does it declare the glory of any one? |
28669 | They are these: If Christianity is not true, where did it come from? |
28669 | They were made the special objects of God''s favor in their infancy(? |
28669 | Was it because they had detected him as a cheat and an impostor? |
28669 | Was it because they had discovered in the person of Christ an impostor, a mere cheat? |

28669 | What is its origin? |
28669 | What is the religion of thousands? |
28669 | What other person ever created such a concern about such an event? |
28669 | What think you of Christ? |
28669 | When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in; or naked, and clothed thee? |
28669 | When the popular sentiment was that he was a prophet the priests and scribes sought his life, believing that his death would end his cause? |
28669 | When they and the people learned that he was an impostor(?) |
28669 | When will you be ready to resume? |
28669 | Who does not know that those books are and have been called the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? |
28669 | Whose son is he? |
28669 | Why are skeptics and infidels so partial among ancient books? |
28669 | Why are so many professors of religion negligent in this matter? |
28669 | Why do we believe that CÃ ¦ sar wrote the Commentaries on the Gallic War? |
28669 | Why this? |
28669 | Will any sensible man affirm that they are the wrong names? |
28669 | Will some wise one tell us why this strange inconsistency? |
28669 | Will you oblige me?" |
28669 | _ Christian_--And this is all the imagination can do? |
28669 | _ Christian_--Gentlemen, do you think your present position is a scientific one? |
28669 | _ Christian_--Gentlemen, have you not contraband goods in your warehouse? |
28669 | _ It is not the office of a friend(?) |

28678 | Why is it that_ all men_ are not_ saved_? |
28678 | Why should this be so? |
28678 | Will you, Mr. Christian, grapple with this? |
28678 | Will you? |
28678 | Would a knowledge, by revelation, of the power, intelligence, wisdom and goodness of God be sufficient in the absence of anything more? |
28678 | Would all the preachers in this country encourage such a work by speaking well of it? |
28678 | Would it not be enough, in addition to what you have named, to have a knowledge of our relation to and dependence upon him for all we enjoy? |
28678 | Would the simple idea of the existence of a first cause, or creator of all things, be sufficient? |
28678 | Would they say, Go on? |

19321 | Then comes the question, Why do some live rather than others? 19321 Who is the God to whom we shall offer our sacrifice? |
19321 | _ Now, is not this a most extraordinary situation? 19321 ( Quoted by W. H. Griffith Thomas in_What about Evolution? |
19321 | And did those paws gradually become enlarged, till, after some generations, they were real wings? |
19321 | And how could these organs serve their purpose while the complex instincts required for their functioning were only in course of development? |
19321 | And was not that ancestor probably a wingless, though not a legless mammal? |
19321 | And what becomes of the"ages"of speculative geology? |
19321 | Are we to admit, in the face of all that has been said about the fixity of species( to mention only this), the reasonableness of such an assumption? |
19321 | But do they? |
19321 | But how could a spur be evolved in either sex? |
19321 | But how did Cromwell, Lincoln, Bismarck arise? |
19321 | But what are the facts? |
19321 | But what are the facts? |
19321 | But what happened in the meantime to those connecting links whose wings were but partly developed? |
19321 | But when are the contents of a parent''s mind transmitted to the child? |
19321 | Can anything be more cogent, more conclusive? |
19321 | Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock? |
19321 | Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? |
19321 | Civilization[ tr note: sic] have risen, civilizations have perished: is there in this traceable the working of natural law? |
19321 | Compare all that has been said by scientists themselves about the evolutionary theory, and what remains? |
19321 | Did he attempt to spring into the air and seize a passing insect, and reach out his paws to catch it? |
19321 | Do we find that scientists, though forced to surrender this prop, have given up atheistic evolution? |
19321 | Does it account for the origin of the universe, of life, and of the various forms of life? |
19321 | Does it conform to this scheme? |
19321 | Does orderliness and plan argue for development? |
19321 | For, indeed, what natural law can account for the rise of human institutions, so infinitely diversified in their structure? |
19321 | Has religion so developed? |
19321 | Have we not here a perfect case of what logicians call"reasoning in a circle,"or"begging the question?" |
19321 | He asks, concerning the heavenly bodies:"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? |
19321 | How could they arise through natural selection( which is simply_ accident,_ of course), at all? |
19321 | How could they have been produced by evolution? |
19321 | How have they come to be what they are? |
19321 | How then explain the origin and rise of religion? |
19321 | If a special fiat was necessary at this point, why may it not have been at others? |
19321 | In a recent book,_"Creation or Evolution? |
19321 | Is it able to account for those things which it is set forth by its spokesmen to account for? |
19321 | Is it not clear that the same result can not be produced by causes so dissimilar? |
19321 | Is there a demonstrable development, by inherent forces, of human society, from lower to higher ranges of culture? |
19321 | It is an attempt to answer the old question, suggested to the thinking mind by a contemplation of nature:_ Whence_ these things? |
19321 | It is not extremely likely, assuming the development theory to be true, that both the mole and the bat sprang from a common ancestor? |
19321 | Now, how came the bat to acquire his wings? |
19321 | Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" |
19321 | The question arises: Can such characteristics be transmitted? |
19321 | The question suggests itself, do scientists to- day believe as Darwin did? |
19321 | The questions insistently call for an answer: How could these instincts preserve the animal when they were still in an incipient, undeveloped state? |
19321 | The real question is, What is the nature and the cause of the prevailing order? |
19321 | We now turn to the geologist and ask: How do you determine the age of the strata? |
19321 | We repeat it,--is not this a very, very extraordinary situation? |
19321 | We shall try to answer the question: Is the evolutionary theory entitled to the name of a working hypothesis? |
19321 | What force produced them? |
19321 | What is that? |
19321 | What made this one country boy the most astonishing genius in all the history of literature? |
19321 | What reason has a Christian to surrender his faith on account of the contradiction of scientists? |
19321 | What, in view of this situation, becomes of the evolutionist''s argument from fossils? |
19321 | What, then, is the verdict of history? |

15807 | How could they get the water out? |

15807 | Nay, rather, what may not be expected of such men? |
15807 | Now does this intelligent and powerful personality know our plans and lend his powers to the accomplishment of our purposes? |
15807 | Now, how has such an eminence of character been attained? |
15807 | Power enough, but how shall we belt on? |
15807 | Since these things are so, what are the conditions under which we may work the works of God by his power? |
15807 | So fifty yards of woolen cloth just out of the dye vat-- who could wring it? |
15807 | So our question is better thus: Does this intelligent, powerful personality accept and use our energy in the accomplishment of his plans? |
15807 | The porter''s rap came unexpectedly soon, and in response to the question,"What is the weather?" |
15807 | To what extent may we expect divine aid? |
15807 | To what extent, then, may we expect God will lend his forces to work out our plans? |
15807 | WHAT ARE THE CAUSES? |
15807 | Was the storm over? |

26278 | ***** What is the difference between getting more out of a thing than there is in it and creating something out of nothing? |
26278 | *****"If the religious foundations and sanctions of morality are to be given up, what is to be substituted for them?" |
26278 | --_Origin of Species, p. 100._ How are we to reconcile the conflicting ideas in this speculation? |
26278 | 264, 266, 413._ Do the facts sustain this assumption? |
26278 | Are millions of years adequate as a cause, when associated with all the forces known in nature, to produce new species and extirpate old ones? |
26278 | Are there no spiritual wants consequent upon the nature of mind? |
26278 | BLIND FORCE OR INTELLIGENCE, WHICH? |
26278 | But how was it? |
26278 | By what other means do we distinguish between the rational and the insane? |
26278 | Can I comprehended the infinite? |
26278 | Can you get more out of a thing than there is in it? |
26278 | Can you see across? |
26278 | Could they think more freely? |
26278 | Do we attribute all the mercies of physical life to a supreme intelligence? |
26278 | Do we comprehend all that belongs to the physical sciences? |
26278 | Do we comprehend matter? |
26278 | Do you doubt this? |
26278 | Do you say I am lost in God? |
26278 | Do you say matter is infinite? |
26278 | Do you see? |
26278 | Do you use the old cry that all outside of matter belongs to the"unknown"and"unknowable?" |
26278 | Does matter pass out of being with death? |
26278 | Does this pass out of being with death? |
26278 | Errors are found in all the histories of humanity; shall we therefore discard science and civil government? |
26278 | Has he ever given it a name? |
26278 | Has science no prerogatives above the physical? |
26278 | Has such a revelation been made? |
26278 | Have men made no mistakes in science? |
26278 | How could this be made? |
26278 | How do unbelievers manage such objections to the hypothesis that chemical laws explain everything in vegetable life? |
26278 | How does this look by the side of the last quotation from Darwin? |
26278 | How is all this accounted for? |
26278 | How is it now? |
26278 | How is this? |
26278 | How much must I know? |
26278 | How often do we hear men say,"Science is progressive?" |
26278 | I know that I know, but do I comprehend that knowledge? |
26278 | Is it a blind force that anticipates growth in the plant, and lays away food, in the tissues, for future use? |
26278 | Is it necessary to the greatest good of the greatest number? |
26278 | Is it not a dangerous thing to make God a liar? |
26278 | Is it not a great insult? |
26278 | Is it not strange that dying men will reject the motive of life? |
26278 | Is it reasonable to allow that this revelation could be given by the spirit of God through holy men? |
26278 | Is there a place in man''s physical nature for bread and meat, for food of every variety that man''s soul desires? |
26278 | Is there an end in view that has governed in the great question of evolution of species, and the survival of the fittest? |
26278 | Is there any agreement among unbelievers which would serve as a model for us poor souls to imitate? |
26278 | Is there certain knowledge of missing links? |
26278 | Is there life without antecedent life, etc.? |
26278 | Is there no evidence of design here? |
26278 | Is there no liability to mental suffering? |
26278 | Is there not one species having its likeness represented by a species in the distant past? |
26278 | Is there such a thing as jurisprudence? |
26278 | Is there such a thing as morality carried into public relations? |
26278 | Is this true? |
26278 | It was a wonderful gain? |
26278 | Lost(?) |
26278 | May we not estimate civil government and religion both by the blood they have cost? |
26278 | No service to whom? |
26278 | Or, if you prefer it, what is the architect? |
26278 | Reader,"how readest thou?" |
26278 | SHALL WE ABANDON OUR RELIGION? |
26278 | Shall we condemn Christianity on account of man''s failures? |
26278 | Shall we discourage his honest efforts by keeping those failures always before him? |
26278 | Shall we keep his many deviations from truth and principle before him in order to cause greater deviations? |
26278 | Shall we on this account condemn all that in which man has and does progress? |
26278 | Shall we repudiate on account of mistakes? |
26278 | That is, in his philosophy, the"vital force is produced by the organism,"and the"organism is produced by the vital principle?" |
26278 | The question is often asked,"Why were they not continued throughout the Christian dispensation?" |
26278 | The question was asked,"Where are the Israelites?" |
26278 | Then why the opposition? |
26278 | There is nothing speculative(?) |
26278 | They have been very true(?) |
26278 | This orator asks the questions,"Whence came we?" |
26278 | Those empty vessels of ours, hearts"endowed with inexhaustible hope,"must turn away from the grave(?) |
26278 | To what end? |
26278 | Was it blind force or intelligence, which? |
26278 | Was it reasonable to expect a revelation from God? |
26278 | We should ask no questions(?) |
26278 | Well, how is it with the past? |
26278 | Well, is there any better agreement among politicians, or in civil governments? |
26278 | Were the people without a religious nature? |
26278 | Were they both evolved from the same unit? |
26278 | Were they in any sense better off? |
26278 | What becomes of evolution? |
26278 | What becomes of natural selection? |
26278 | What becomes of the doctrine of the survival of the fittest? |
26278 | What does Darwin know about the origin of life and mind? |
26278 | What has unbelief to give to the people of our age more than it offered centuries ago? |
26278 | What is the estimate placed upon it by the best minds of America? |
26278 | What is the value of the religion of Christ? |
26278 | What kind of a being must I be to know that"no message ever reached man from beyond the grave?" |
26278 | What natural law is violated in"Partheno Genesis?" |
26278 | What power is that which lies behind chemical affinities, and controls them with direct reference to organic being? |
26278 | What will become of yon dry leaf, torn from its parent stem by this wintry blast? |
26278 | When you ask an evolutionist for the links connecting new and old species, as he is pleased to denominate them, you receive the satisfactory(?) |
26278 | Whence came we? |
26278 | Where have last summer''s roses gone? |
26278 | Where is the difficulty? |
26278 | Where is the justice and goodness of God in the bloody wars of Israel? |
26278 | Where is the morality and righteousness of the wars of which we read? |
26278 | Where is the righteousness of capital punishment? |
26278 | Where shall we find them? |
26278 | Whither are we tending? |
26278 | Who is the architect? |
26278 | Who will"deliver"the unbelievers of our country"from this dead body?" |
26278 | Why affirm the eternity of matter and deny the eternity of spirit? |
26278 | Why do men strenuously avoid contradictory propositions? |
26278 | Why not find a few of the missing links there? |
26278 | Why should it be different with the young plant? |
26278 | Why should it perish with it? |
26278 | Why? |
26278 | Why? |
26278 | Will some bold unbeliever answer? |
26278 | Will you accept it and experience the fact? |
26278 | Will you dethrone the Creator? |
26278 | or shall we turn misanthropists? |
26278 | who can tell? |
20248 | I wonder,mused the Martian,"did the grim spectre of death finally instill a grain of scepticism into his mind?" |
20248 | Again Jerome Davis asks,"Is it possible that our Church leaders are to some extent blinded by current conventional standards? |
20248 | Again, if witchcraft is given up, why not the chief witch of the Bible, the Devil? |
20248 | Aloud he muses,"Is there no place on Earth which is free from this contradiction?" |
20248 | And how well he must have rewarded his faithful servants, for was this not done in His name? |
20248 | And then all Gods laughed and shook on their chairs and cried:"Is Godliness not just that there are Gods, but no God?" |
20248 | And, behold, they cried out, saying,''What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God? |
20248 | Are not the wants of his family, the hunger, and ostracism torture? |
20248 | Are they so busy sharing the wealth of the prosperous with others in spiritual quests that they fail to see some areas of desperate social need? |
20248 | Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?'' |
20248 | Brahmanism, Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Hebrewism, Mohammedanism, Christianity-- which is the true religion? |
20248 | But actually who created this creator? |
20248 | But does the Mohammedan or the Christian analyze as critically each his own belief? |
20248 | But if the wife is displeased, is there any justice? |
20248 | But what effectual check has Christianity contributed? |
20248 | But, is the modern worshipper who is contemptuous of the ancients very different from them? |
20248 | By what process of thought had Mohammed come to exalt Allah not merely above all Arabian gods, but above the gods of all times? |
20248 | Can anything stronger be said to discourage research, investigation, experiment, and retard progress? |
20248 | Did the clergymen stand firm when men with dollars talked? |
20248 | Divine Justice? |
20248 | Do certain diseases as yet remain to plague man? |
20248 | Do certain diseases still baffle the physician? |
20248 | Do they to some degree unconsciously exchange the gift of prophecy for yearly budgets and business boards?" |
20248 | Does any one believe that Jew, Mohammedan, Catholic, and Protestant can long live in peace together? |
20248 | Does not this apologist confuse his god with his devil? |
20248 | For how much longer will man be a slave to his inferiority complex with regard to his own rational capacities? |
20248 | Furthermore, why was he so certain of his own intimate association with Allah? |
20248 | Good God-- surely in the face of all this sense of aliveness and motion, and this and that, there should be some intimation of WHY? |
20248 | Has man profited by having remained in his mental infancy so long? |
20248 | Has not his mind so co-*ordinated his movements that he has enslaved those forces of nature to be his aid? |
20248 | How can we attribute these qualities to a being who is described to us as devoid of any nerve structure? |
20248 | How can we know the actual number of earthlings that are sceptics? |
20248 | How much longer before humanity can begin to build on a sound foundation? |
20248 | How, then, could an omnipotent being permit wholesale and private murder? |
20248 | However, the Martian argues,"Is it not a fact that in your earthly experience, you have created your gods in your own image? |
20248 | If everything must have a cause, then the First Cause must be caused and therefore: Who made God? |
20248 | If faith is vital to man, why not relate it to that which at least holds a promise of solution? |
20248 | If men were possessed of devils in Jesus''time, what has happened to these devils now? |
20248 | If the God of these earthlings bothers not about them, why should they trouble about God? |
20248 | If the grocer, the butcher, the doctor, the lawyer, the scholar, the business man, were to boldly announce his scepticism, what would happen to him? |
20248 | If this be God''s word, did God err when He said it? |
20248 | In how many of the advanced ideas of our time has the Church taken the lead? |
20248 | In this series of complications where may we discern a first cause? |
20248 | Is He not rather a demon than a God? |
20248 | Is anything so pitiful to behold as the firm grasp that the Church places on the mind of the youngest of children? |
20248 | Is it necessary that you should salt your truth that it will no longer quench thirst_? |
20248 | Is it not a fact that if the Christian nations of the world would only live at peace together, war would be impossible? |
20248 | Is it not renowned for being a long way in the rear rather than in the vanguard of progressive thought and action? |
20248 | Is religion, is church membership a help to virtue? |
20248 | Is religion, is church membership, a help to virtue? |
20248 | Is this all that is left to the theologian: that he must use the pitiful"Theology of Gaps"? |
20248 | It is an absurd answer to reply that the creator created himself, yet, even if this is granted, may not the universe have created itself? |
20248 | It is an excellent and comprehensive statement, but one is left wondering why the name"religious humanism"? |
20248 | It was Lactantius who asked,"Is there any one so senseless as to believe that there are men whose footsteps are higher than their heads? |
20248 | Must it take five hundred years for all mankind to come to a similar conclusion? |
20248 | Now is it strange that Sinai should have excited reverence and dread? |
20248 | Now it is the Martian''s turn to inquire of the Hebrew whether the latter had ever read this story to his own daughter? |
20248 | Or did the Divine Father know that even a self- respecting germ could not inhabit the filthy floor of the Tabernacle? |
20248 | Or, the story of Abraham''s affair with Hagar, his handmaiden? |
20248 | Professor James T. Shotwell when speaking of paganism reminds us,"Who of us can appreciate antique paganism? |
20248 | Surely, Jesus could not misinterpret his own words or deeds, if the religionists contend that we are now misinterpreting the Bible? |
20248 | Surely, a man is not burned at the stake for his scepticism in this age; but is he not done to death? |
20248 | That I have ten coats in my wardrobe while he goes naked? |
20248 | That at each of my meals enough is served to feed his family for a week? |
20248 | That the crops and trees grow downward? |
20248 | That the rains and snow and hail fall upwards toward the earth? |
20248 | The oft- repeated question still admits of no answer,"Who created the creator"? |
20248 | Then again, has it not occurred to this apologist that he is in all futility attempting to prove something which is a contradiction within itself? |
20248 | Then was heard the last despairing cry of the desolate, dying martyr,"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
20248 | To confuse the evil spirit causing the disease? |
20248 | Truly, Jehovah at that time must have loved them well, or did some other Deity form the Egyptians? |
20248 | Was it the brotherhood of man that Christianity bestowed on the conquered Mexican and Peruvian nations, and on the Indians of our own country? |
20248 | What could be more explicit? |
20248 | What did the prophetic movement do with his sacred powers? |
20248 | What effect has Christianity had upon our moral life, upon crime, drug- addiction, sexual immorality, prostitution, and perversion? |
20248 | What immense structures have been founded on these shifting sands, on this morass of ignorance and childish fable? |
20248 | What is the cause? |
20248 | What is the value of a church that has claimed the moral leadership of the world when such things can happen? |
20248 | What kind of brotherhood did Christians bestow on Jews or heretics in the Middle Ages? |
20248 | What of those countless millions of men that died before Christ came to save the world from damnation? |
20248 | What sort of person would be the father who would announce divine punishment or reward in order to obtain the love and respect of his children? |
20248 | What supernatural in their deeds? |
20248 | What wisdom poured forth from their lips which did not come from other philosophers? |
20248 | When the minds of men are from infancy perverted with these ideals, how can mankind build a virile race? |
20248 | Who does not feel the absurdity of the opinion that the lavish care for a sick child by a mother is given because of a belief in God and immortality? |
20248 | Why do n''t the masses go to Church?'' |
20248 | Why does the ecclesiastic not leave off his advances until the child reaches a mature age, an age when he can reason? |
20248 | Why, therefore, not give Allah, the leading icon in Arabia, an opportunity? |
20248 | Why? |
20248 | Wieman, Macintosh, and Otto:"Is There a God? |
20248 | Will he endeavor to analyze it at all? |
20248 | Years ago I was asked,''Why do n''t people accept religion? |
1185 | And can this God have a mother? |
1185 | But,he adds,"some one may ask,''What was God doing before he made the heaven and the earth? |
1185 | WHAT is truth? |
1185 | What, then, is time? 1185 And now, at once, recurs the question, How is it that the Church produced no geometer in her autocratic reign of twelve hundred years? 1185 And the thoughtful reader will earnestly ask,Are our solutions of these problems any better than theirs?" |
1185 | And what does that point out? |
1185 | Answer to the question, What has Science done for humanity? |
1185 | Are mysteries, miracles, lying impostures, better? |
1185 | Are these abiding impressions mere signal- marks, like the letters of a book, which impart ideas to the mind? |
1185 | Are these criteria of truth? |
1185 | Are we not excluding Almighty God from the world he has made?" |
1185 | As to the issue of the coming conflict, can any one doubt? |
1185 | But has not the order of civilization in all parts of the world been the same? |
1185 | But here, in the first place, it may be demanded, Who or what is it that has put forth this great claim in its behalf? |
1185 | But what is the meaning of all this? |
1185 | But who can control an infuriated civil commotion? |
1185 | But, again, it may be asked:"Is there not something profoundly impious in this? |
1185 | But, if a personal interpretation of the book of Revelation is permissible, how can it be denied in the case of the book of Nature? |
1185 | But, if, with them, we admit that the serpent is symbolical of Satan, does not that cast an air of allegory over the whole narrative? |
1185 | Can any man place the line which bounds the physical on one side, the supernatural on the other? |
1185 | Can we exaggerate the importance of a contention in which every thoughtful person must take part whether he will or not? |
1185 | Could the government allow itself to be intimidated? |
1185 | Did not God give you in me a better wife in her place?" |
1185 | Do human societies, in their historic career, exhibit the marks of a predetermined progress in an unavoidable track? |
1185 | Do not both exhibit to us phases of youth, of maturity, of decrepitude? |
1185 | Do not our estimates of the extent and the duration of things depend altogether on our point of view? |
1185 | Do they in like manner return, each to the source from which it has come? |
1185 | Does not the growth of society resemble individual growth? |
1185 | Does not their enormous size demonstrate that, as they are centres of force, so they must be centres of motion-- suns for other systems of worlds? |
1185 | Does the soul arise from the one as the body arises from the other? |
1185 | Has it been annihilated? |
1185 | Has not conscience inalienable rights? |
1185 | Have these been due to incessant divine interventions, or to the continuous operation of unfailing law? |
1185 | Have we any standard or criterion of truth? |
1185 | He asks:"Is not the worship of saints and angels now in all respects the same that the worship of demons was in former times? |
1185 | How can a selection be made among them, except by such an appeal to Reason? |
1185 | How can that be received as a trustworthy guide in the invisible, which falls into so many errors in the visible? |
1185 | How can that give confidence in the moral, the spiritual, which has so signally failed in the physical? |
1185 | How can they deny that there are antipodes, and other worlds than ours? |
1185 | How could it be otherwise? |
1185 | How could the dogma of a Vicar of God upon earth, the dogma of an infallible pope, be sustained in presence of such scandals? |
1185 | How is it governed? |
1185 | How is it possible to coordinate the infallibility of the papacy with the well- known errors into which it has fallen? |
1185 | How many countries are there professing the same religion now that they did at the birth of Christ? |
1185 | How many shrines are there now in successful operation in Europe? |
1185 | How shall we account for the great failure we thus detect in the guardianship of the Church over Europe? |
1185 | How was it possible that the population could increase? |
1185 | If such be the conclusion to which we come respecting it, what would be the conclusion to which an Intelligence seated in it might come respecting us? |
1185 | If, now, we demand, What has science done for the promotion of modern civilization; what has it done for the happiness, the well- being of society? |
1185 | Is it at all surprising that the number of those who hold the opinions of the Church in light esteem should so rapidly increase? |
1185 | Is it not plain that there must have been a common tie among all these bodies, that they are only parts of what must once have been a single mass? |
1185 | Is not that a strange logic which finds proof of an asserted fact in an inexplicable illustration of something else? |
1185 | Is not the accomplishment of a prophecy a testimony to its truth? |
1185 | Is not this to exclude Almighty God from the worlds he has made? |
1185 | Is the world, then, governed by law or by providential interventions, abruptly breaking the proper sequence of events? |
1185 | Is there any evidence that the life of nations is under the control of immutable law? |
1185 | Is there for each of us a providential intervention as we thus pass from stage to stage of life? |
1185 | Is there not, however, a most serious objection in the way? |
1185 | It lay in the question, Does the Bible owe its authenticity to the Church? |
1185 | It may be said that this infallibility applies only to moral or religious things; but where shall the line of separation be drawn? |
1185 | It was now plain to every one that the question had become,"Who is to be master in the state, the government or the Roman Church? |
1185 | Many years subsequently, in the height of his power, Ayesha, who was one of the most beautiful women in Arabia, said to him:"Was she not old? |
1185 | Must not that be false which requires for its support so much imposture, so much barbarity? |
1185 | Not without reason do Protestants demand, What proof can be given that infallibility exists in the Church at all? |
1185 | Of many great discoveries, has not this been the history? |
1185 | Of them were there none who had fallen or might fall like us? |
1185 | Of what consequence is man, his pleasures or his pains? |
1185 | Of what consequence, then, can such an almost imperceptible particle be? |
1185 | Or are there reasons for believing that these several systems came into existence not by such an arbitrary fiat, but through the operation of law? |
1185 | Seeing that events which are past have vindicated these prophecies, shall we be blamed for trusting them in events that are to come? |
1185 | Shall we not, then, conclude with Cicero, who, quoted by Lactantius, says:"One eternal and immutable law embraces all things and all times?" |
1185 | Shall we speak of this man with disrespect? |
1185 | Shall we wonder that, in some of the invasions of the plague, the deaths were so frightfully numerous that the living could hardly bury the dead? |
1185 | The face of creation testifies that there has been a Creator; but at once arises the question,"How and when did he make heaven and earth? |
1185 | The limits of our own system are far beyond the range of our greatest telescopes; what, then, shall we say of other systems beyond? |
1185 | The past is not, the future is not, the present-- who can tell what it is, unless it be that which has no duration between two nonentities? |
1185 | They came to listen to her discourses on those questions which man in all ages has asked, but which never yet have been answered:"What am I? |
1185 | They remembered that he had once said to one who approached him with timid steps:"Of what dost thou stand in awe? |
1185 | Was it a nonentity? |
1185 | Was it for this preposterous scheme-- this product of ignorance and audacity-- that the works of the Greek philosophers were to be given up? |
1185 | What can I know?" |
1185 | What can be better than absolute truth? |
1185 | What could be more humiliating than the circumstances under which it took place( A.D. 846)? |
1185 | What is God? |
1185 | What is the soul? |
1185 | What is the world? |
1185 | What then? |
1185 | What, then, is that sacred, that revealed science, declared by the Fathers to be the sum of all knowledge? |
1185 | What, then, remains for us? |
1185 | When Science is thus commanded to surrender her intellectual convictions, may she not ask the ecclesiastic to remember the past? |
1185 | Where am I? |
1185 | Where is the criterion of truth? |
1185 | Where would human physiology be, if it were not illuminated by the bright irradiations of comparative physiology? |
1185 | Where, then, for them could a Savior be found? |
1185 | Will it consent to retrace its steps to the semi- barbarian ignorance and superstition of the middle ages? |
1185 | Will modern civilization consent to abandon the career of advancement which has given it so much power and happiness? |
1185 | Would such an Intelligence think it necessary to require for our origin and maintenance the immediate intervention of God? |
1185 | and why should the truth be ascertained by the vote of a majority rather than by that of a minority? |
1185 | are they identical? |
1185 | how much can he pay for the preferment? |
1185 | is there no difference between the holy soul of Peter and the damned soul of Judas? |
1185 | or does the Church owe her authenticity to the Bible? |
1185 | shall we attribute to Almighty God a mother, as you dare to do? |
1185 | shall we give up these books? |
1185 | what proof is there that the Church has ever been fairly or justly represented in any council? |
15905 | But what is it that I have been doing? 15905 How do you know that the Lord doeth it?" |
15905 | What made the Mahommedan world? 15905 When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? |
15905 | )[ 42] There is also a good deal said about a very questionable blind man-- one Albricus( Alberich?) |
15905 | And having made his election, what reasons has he to give for his choice? |
15905 | And if he is not, in what sense has this part of the uniformitarian doctrine, as he defines it, lowered its pretensions to represent scientific truth? |
15905 | And if so, how can agnosticism be the"mere negation of the physicist"? |
15905 | And now, what is to be said to Mr. Harrison''s remarkable deliverance"On the future of agnosticism"? |
15905 | And what is historical truth but that of which the evidence bears strict scientific investigation? |
15905 | And what is the state of things we find disclosed? |
15905 | And what made the Christian world? |
15905 | And what was the exact nature of the advice given? |
15905 | And when the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? |
15905 | And, finally, how is this account to be reconciled with those in the first and third gospels-- which, as we have seen, disagree with one another? |
15905 | Are the authors of the versions in the second and third gospels really independent witnesses? |
15905 | Are there then any Christians who say that they know nothing about the unseen world and the future? |
15905 | Are there, then, any"conclusions"that are not"purely mental"? |
15905 | Are we going back to the days of the Judges, when wealthy Micah set up his private ephod, teraphim, and Levite? |
15905 | Are we to accept the Jesus of the second, or the Jesus of the fourth Gospel, as the true Jesus? |
15905 | But if the primitive Nazarenes of whom the Acts speak were orthodox Jews, what sort of probability can there be that Jesus was anything else? |
15905 | But is it true? |
15905 | But to how much does this so- called claim amount? |
15905 | But what conceivable motive could"Mark"have for omitting it? |
15905 | But what is the evidence in this case? |
15905 | But why all this more recent coil about the Gadarene swine and the like? |
15905 | But why should a man be expected to call himself a"miscreant"or an"infidel"? |
15905 | But will any one tell me that death is"necessary"? |
15905 | By whose authority is the signification of that term defined? |
15905 | CONTENTS: What Knowledge is of most Worth? |
15905 | CREATION OR EVOLUTION? |
15905 | Cosmas and Damianus? |
15905 | Did Peter then omit to mention these matters? |
15905 | Did he really fail to speak of the great position in the Church solemnly assigned to him by Jesus? |
15905 | Did he think it, at any subsequent time, worth while"to confer with flesh and blood,"or, in modern phrase, to re- examine the facts for himself? |
15905 | Did the fact testified by the oldest authority extant, that the first appearance of the risen Jesus was to himself seem not worth mentioning? |
15905 | Do you pretend that these poor animals got in your way, years and years after the"Mosaic"fences were down, at any rate so far as you are concerned? |
15905 | Does he hold by the one evangelist''s story, or by that of the two evangelists? |
15905 | Does he really mean to suggest that agnostics have a logic peculiar to themselves? |
15905 | For what is the adverse case? |
15905 | Got in my way? |
15905 | Has Nominalism, in any of its modifications, so completely won the day that Realism may be regarded as dead and buried without hope of resurrection? |
15905 | Has any one then yet seen the production of negroes from a white stock, or_ vice versâ_? |
15905 | Has it now a merely antiquarian interest? |
15905 | How can he have founded the universal religion which was not heard of till twenty years after his death? |
15905 | I am sorry to trouble him further, but what does he mean by"it"? |
15905 | I ask any candid and impartial judge, Is that attacking anybody or anything? |
15905 | I rejoice to think now of the( then) Bishop''s cordial hail the first time we met after our little skirmish,"Well, is it to be peace or war?" |
15905 | If God did not walk in the Garden of Eden, how can we be assured that he spoke from Sinai? |
15905 | If early views of religion and morality had not been imperfect, where had been the development? |
15905 | If it is not historically true that such and such things happened in Palestine eighteen centuries ago, what becomes of Christianity? |
15905 | If such materials were known to"Mark,"what imaginable reason could he have for not using them? |
15905 | If symbolical visions and mythical creations had found no place in the early Oriental expression of Divine truth, where had been the development? |
15905 | If the latter is to be accepted, or rejected, by private judgment, why not the former? |
15905 | If the story of the Fall is not the true record of an historical occurrence, what becomes of Pauline theology? |
15905 | If, he says, there are texts which seem to show that Jesus contemplated the evangelisation of the heathen:... Did not the Apostles hear our Lord? |
15905 | In one''s zeal much of the old gets broken to pieces; but has one made ready something new, fit to be set in the place of the old? |
15905 | Is he the kindly, peaceful Christ depicted in the Catacombs? |
15905 | Is it contained in the so- called Apostle''s Creed? |
15905 | Is it not certain that the Apostles did not gather this truth from His teaching? |
15905 | Is it that contained in the Nicene and the Athanasian Creeds? |
15905 | Is such a thing even conceivable? |
15905 | Is there a Social Science? |
15905 | Is there"no relation to things social"in"mental conclusions"which affect men''s whole conception of life? |
15905 | Melanchthon, Ulrich von Hutten, Beza, were they not all humanists? |
15905 | Might not there, however, be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher? |
15905 | Much astonished at this remark from a person who was supposed not to have seen the relics, Eginhard asked him how he knew that? |
15905 | Now what is a Christian? |
15905 | On what grounds can a reasonable man be asked to believe any more? |
15905 | Or can he be rightly represented by the bleeding ascetic, broken down by physical pain, of too many mediæval pictures? |
15905 | Really? |
15905 | So, if I am asked to call myself an"infidel,"I reply: To what doctrine do you ask me to be faithful? |
15905 | Still more, on the first day, when it is nothing but a flat cellular disk? |
15905 | The plain answer to this question is, Why should anybody be called upon to say how he knows that which he does not know? |
15905 | The preacher asks,"Might not there be a suspension of a lower law by the intervention of a higher?" |
15905 | The question for me is purely one of evidence: is the evidence adequate to bear out the theory, or is it not? |
15905 | To this the priest,"Whence art thou, then, if these are not thy parents?" |
15905 | WHAT IS ELECTRICITY? |
15905 | Was Augustine heretical when he denied the actual historical truth of the record of the Creation? |
15905 | Was not the arch- humanist, Erasmus, fautor- in- chief of the Reformation, until he got frightened and basely deserted it? |
15905 | Was not the name of"Christian"first used to denote the converts to the doctrine promulgated by Paul and Barnabas at Antioch? |
15905 | Was not their chief,"James, the brother of the Lord,"reverenced alike by Sadducee, Pharisee, and Nazarene? |
15905 | Was that prince of agnostics, David Hume, particularly imbued with physical science? |
15905 | Were Gentile converts bound to obey the Law or not? |
15905 | Were none others current in the Roman communities, at the time"Mark"wrote, supposing he wrote in Rome? |
15905 | Were these all that existed in the primitive threefold tradition? |
15905 | What do we find when the accounts of the events in question, contained in the three Synoptic gospels, are compared together? |
15905 | What is the"entire question"which"arises"in a"narrowed form"upon"secular testimony"? |
15905 | What is to hinder our supposing that the organic creation is also a result of natural laws which are in like manner an expression of His will? |
15905 | What line of my writing can the Duke of Argyll produce which confounds the organic with the inorganic? |
15905 | What more intrinsic claim has the story of the Exodus than that of the Deluge, to belief? |
15905 | What, then, was that labour of unsurpassed magnitude and excellence and of immortal influence which Newton did perform? |
15905 | Where are the secret conspirators against this tyranny, whom I am supposed to favour, and yet not have the courage to join openly? |
15905 | Who is to gainsay our ecclesiastical authority here? |
15905 | Who shall or can forbid him? |
15905 | Who was it? |
15905 | Why should not your friend"levitate"? |
15905 | Will their brethren follow their just and prudent guidance? |
15905 | Would not an English court of justice speedily teach him better? |
15905 | [ 44] Must we suppose, therefore, that the Apostle to the Gentiles has stated that which is false? |
15905 | and what was_ their_ impression from what they heard? |
15905 | or was he ready to accept anything that fitted in with his preconceived ideas? |
39566 | And can you, my young friends, be careless about your own salvation while Samuel is so anxious for you? 39566 And what is radiation?" |
39566 | And what, Mr. Hume, about the ice water? |
39566 | And, Mr. Wilton,asked Peter,"does not the Bible say that''God created all things for his own glory''?" |
39566 | Ansel, have you ever heard the''dew point''spoken of? |
39566 | Ansel, will you state the theories which have been held touching the nature of heat? |
39566 | Are you becoming discouraged and almost ready to give up all effort to follow Christ? |
39566 | Are you unwilling to come to him-- to trust him and submit to him? |
39566 | Are your thoughts and feelings and opinions about Christ and salvation the same as they were six weeks ago? |
39566 | But by what agency does man achieve the mastery of Nature? 39566 But can you wholly get rid of the conviction that the Bible is the word of God, written by holy men inspired by the Holy Spirit?" |
39566 | But how does this carry heat from the warmer region to the colder regions around? |
39566 | But how would it please you if my talk upon the ministry of pain should prove to be very much like a sermon? |
39566 | But were you not interested and pleased with the discourse? 39566 But what did you mean? |
39566 | But why do you say, of course? 39566 But would not all these natural agencies subserve essentially the same ends in the discipline of unfallen and sinless beings? |
39566 | But, Samuel, did you not pray for Mr. Hume also, and talk with him? |
39566 | But,said he,"does not the book of Nature-- your Bible, as you call it-- have something to say of God? |
39566 | Can you tell us, Ansel, whether the earth receives heat from the moon and stars? |
39566 | Can you tell us, Peter, why tubs of water set in a cellar should have this effect? |
39566 | Can you tell why a newspaper spread over a tomato vine keeps the frost from the vine? |
39566 | Did you ever think, Ansel, that you were very ambitious? |
39566 | Did you expect a month ago that at this time you would be feeling and acting as you now feel and act? |
39566 | Do not men heat and burn bricks, not to soften them, but to harden them? |
39566 | Do you believe that Christ is able to save you? |
39566 | Do you believe that he is willing to save you? |
39566 | Do you know what is meant by it? |
39566 | Do you look upon this irregular expansion and contraction of water,asked Mr. Hume,"as a real exception to the rule that heat expands bodies?" |
39566 | Do you wish now that you had fought it through, as you proposed, and kept all your feelings to yourself? |
39566 | Have not you, Mr. Hume, been treating Christ and the Holy Spirit as Samuel feared that you would treat him? |
39566 | Have you ever noticed whether cloudy nights or clear nights are the warmer? |
39566 | Have you no more enjoyment in reading the Scriptures and in your prayer in secret than you had a week ago? |
39566 | How could the dew fall upon the under side? |
39566 | How could we tell,asked Peter,"without knowing what kind of work the machine was designed to do?" |
39566 | How does the form of the earth operate to produce inequality of temperature? |
39566 | How is water formed from these two gases? 39566 How would such a plan please the other members of the class?" |
39566 | I am glad to hear that; but can you tell how they are different? |
39566 | I want to ask,said Peter,"how this internal heat came to exist, and how it is maintained?" |
39566 | If I understand you, then,he said,"you would like a course of lessons in the teachings of Nature?" |
39566 | In this bountiful supply of heat to warm the earth and serve human needs must we not see a kind design on the part of the Creator? 39566 Perhaps,"he continued,"you would prefer to study one of the historic books of the Old Testament?" |
39566 | Peter, what is the third method by which heat passes from place to place? |
39566 | Samuel, what is the cause of day and night? |
39566 | That is the old and common expression, but what is meant by latent heat? |
39566 | Upon what does the dew point depend? |
39566 | Was your answer correct, then? |
39566 | We use heat also in cooking our food,spoke up Peter:"is it not because heat destroys the cohesive attraction, and thus softens it?" |
39566 | What answer did you try to give him, Ansel? |
39566 | What are some of those means for transferring heat which seem to you to operate the same in the annual as in the daily changes of temperature? |
39566 | What book can you find which is true if the Bible is not true? |
39566 | What do you mean, Ansel? |
39566 | What do you think it is that hinders your coming into light and joy as others have done? |
39566 | What do you wish? |
39566 | What have you been reading, Ansel, that has put such thoughts into your mind? |
39566 | What have you tried to do for Christ? |
39566 | What is cohesive attraction? |
39566 | What is combustion? |
39566 | What is it, Ansel? |
39566 | What is meant by convection of heat? |
39566 | What is meant, Ansel, by the''conduction''of heat? |
39566 | What is that heat called, Ansel, which is absorbed by a body with no rise of temperature? |
39566 | What is that inequality of temperature which is produced by the shape of the earth? |
39566 | What is the cause of the sun''s heat? |
39566 | What is the evidence,asked Samuel,"that the dynamic theory of heat is true?" |
39566 | What is the third great natural source of heat? 39566 What leads you,"asked Mr. Wilton,"to present yourself to the church, asking for baptism?" |
39566 | What will you say, Peter? |
39566 | Why did you stand upon a rock? |
39566 | Will you correct your answer? |
39566 | Will you not tell us,said Samuel,"how these ocean currents are produced? |
39566 | Will you please explain this? |
39566 | Will you please tell us, Mr. Wilton, how this weakening of cohesive attraction is explained upon the dynamic theory of heat? |
39566 | Would it be wise and well to take no account of foreseen events? 39566 ''And who are these lads and young men for whom all this work and wisdom is expended?'' 39566 ''Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? 39566 ''Pray, sir,''he says to the master,''what is this strange contradictory institution?'' 39566 ''What must I do to be saved?'' 39566 --_Youmans._What is the second method by which heat passes from place to place?" |
39566 | 30:"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
39566 | A hundred times a day the questions came, What if there be a God who holds me responsible? |
39566 | A self- righteous young man came to Jesus asking,''Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may inherit everlasting life?'' |
39566 | Ansel, have you studied geology?" |
39566 | Ansel, how shall we explain this?" |
39566 | Ansel, what part of the atmosphere is warmest?" |
39566 | Are there different conditions and different duties required of different men? |
39566 | Are they mixed together as oxygen and nitrogen are mingled in the air, or are they chemically united?" |
39566 | Are we to suppose that the column of heated air reaches to the top of the atmosphere?" |
39566 | Are you contented to live''having no hope and without God in the world''? |
39566 | Are you, Samuel, in your interest in studying Nature, forgetting Christ and the souls of men?" |
39566 | At length he thought,''Why should I not? |
39566 | But did God''s plan excuse his treason against his Lord? |
39566 | But does it seem reasonable that the world was designed merely as a place of punishment for men by reason of their wickedness?" |
39566 | But does not that condensation which forms the cloud- ring set free latent heat, and thus intensify the great heat of the equator? |
39566 | But here two questions arise: What is the glory of God? |
39566 | But how is the weight raised? |
39566 | But how shall we know the object for which God made and governs the world?" |
39566 | But if the casket be so worthy, what shall be said of the gem which is enshrined within? |
39566 | But what did you learn last Sunday?" |
39566 | But what is one iceberg to the thousands which drift yearly from the frigid zones toward the tropics? |
39566 | But what is the Gulf Stream, though it be fifty fold greater than all the rivers of the world, in comparison with the whole sum of the ocean streams? |
39566 | But what is the question which you wished to propose?" |
39566 | But what is the question?" |
39566 | But what is the setting for this gem? |
39566 | But what kind of evidence am I to look for?" |
39566 | But whence comes the force necessary to accomplish this? |
39566 | But whence comes the heat of combustion? |
39566 | But why do not the glowing rays of the sun raise the temperature at once to the highest possible point? |
39566 | But why do not the vegetables begin to freeze as soon as the water?" |
39566 | But why not endow living creatures with nerves of sensation which could experience pleasure, but could not feel pain? |
39566 | But why should not God embrace in his plan that great event, the fall of man, which he foresaw in the future? |
39566 | Can you blot out your past sins? |
39566 | Can you change that condemnation by your feeble, fickle resolutions to reform? |
39566 | Can you erase the record which stands written in the book of remembrance on high? |
39566 | Can you not now tell why water is incombustible?" |
39566 | Can you tell us, Ansel, how the temperature of the earth is affected by the atmosphere?" |
39566 | Can you tell us, Peter, at what season of year the earth is nearer the sun?" |
39566 | Could his late repentance call them back to life and hope? |
39566 | Did Mr. Hume say that what he calls''The book of Nature''contradicts the sacred Scriptures?" |
39566 | Did the Creator then''Bid his angels turn askance The poles of earth twice ten degrees and more From the sun''s axle''? |
39566 | Did this plan touching Christ make the apostasy of man a necessity? |
39566 | Did you ever see barefoot boys running in the cold dew stop and stand upon a stone or rock to get their feet warm?" |
39566 | Did you not carry the same idea of being chief into your plans and expectations for the future? |
39566 | Do all bodies conduct heat with equal rapidity?" |
39566 | Do clouds tend to produce inequalities of temperature?" |
39566 | Do n''t you remember how he used to laugh at the idea of being plunged in the river in honor of a dead man? |
39566 | Do not men produce by cultivation better fruits and vegetables than Nature ever grows when left to herself?" |
39566 | Do not the laws of Nature bring suffering to the good and the bad alike, and happiness also to all classes of men? |
39566 | Do not the works of Nature tell of the same God whose being and character were preached to us yesterday from the Holy Scriptures?" |
39566 | Do you know, Ansel, how to ascertain the dew point at any time?" |
39566 | Do you really and honestly wish to be saved from sin? |
39566 | Do you remember what was said about the production of cold by expansion and of heat by compression?" |
39566 | Do you think that my long trial of doubt and unrest and pain of heart can ever be blessed to my good?" |
39566 | Do you wish to study the evidences of the truth and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures?" |
39566 | Does Nature punish those whom you call the wicked? |
39566 | Does Nature reward the righteous? |
39566 | Does any one think of another cause of inequality of temperature?" |
39566 | Does it not mean that he made the world so good and perfect that all creatures ought to praise him on account of it?" |
39566 | Does it not speak of an infinitely wise and good Creator and Governor? |
39566 | Does that seem to you to be true, Samuel?" |
39566 | Does the temperature rise in any place? |
39566 | Does the world seem as if fitted up to be the dwelling- place of holy beings?" |
39566 | During the past few weeks you have heard others asking,''What shall we do to be saved?'' |
39566 | Have you never heard of setting tubs of water in cellars to keep vegetables from freezing?" |
39566 | Have you succeeded in getting rid of your sins? |
39566 | He could only cry out in astonishment,''Father, why am I, thine obedient son, thus smitten?'' |
39566 | How are we to combine these two sets of arrangements in our thinking?" |
39566 | How can God make his frown felt except by looking pain, so to speak, into the sinner''s conscience? |
39566 | How could it be otherwise? |
39566 | How is carbon brought into this state of suspense, waiting to dash upon oxygen and develop heat? |
39566 | How is this accomplished? |
39566 | How is this diurnal change of temperature alleviated?" |
39566 | How is this provision for suffering in man and in all sentient creatures consistent with the benevolence elsewhere shown? |
39566 | How much heat is given out in the freezing of water?" |
39566 | How shall their motions be explained? |
39566 | How shall we estimate the strength of this force? |
39566 | How were you interested in the sermon?" |
39566 | How would that affect the rate of radiation from the earth?" |
39566 | How would you apply this principle to the subject we are now considering? |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | Hume?" |
39566 | If Nature and Nature''s God have blessings in store for the willing and the obedient, why should not I know this and receive my share?" |
39566 | If a second example were made of a second ungodly city, would the expression of divine wrath be weakened? |
39566 | If, however, you want something else than the salvation which Jesus gives, what can you expect but perplexity, difficulty, darkness? |
39566 | Is it a new and original generation of heat, or is it merely a transfer? |
39566 | Is it because it evaporates before it reaches a sufficiently high temperature?" |
39566 | Is it not reasonable to believe that he designed it for their use? |
39566 | Is it wrong to wish for such an experience?" |
39566 | Is that so?" |
39566 | Is this plain to you, Ansel, and does it seem reasonable?" |
39566 | Is this possible? |
39566 | Is your happiness here and hereafter more important to Samuel than to yourselves?" |
39566 | Jesus has gone to prepare mansions for those who will, as he foresees, believe in him: why not make provision for foreseen evils also? |
39566 | Mr. Hume, can you suggest any method by which we can estimate the amount of heat which is carried north and south by the return trades?" |
39566 | Mr. Wilton proposed the question to the class:"What shall be our next course of lessons? |
39566 | Must he, then, after having caught a glimpse of life and joy, be cut off from hope and be driven from God for ever? |
39566 | No one else answered, and finally Mr. Hume said:"I suppose, of course, that you refer to the land and sea breezes?" |
39566 | On the other hand, when the sun sets and his heat is withdrawn, why does not the temperature fall suddenly to the lowest possible point? |
39566 | Ought we to believe that God planned the world for an object for which it never has been and never will be employed? |
39566 | Perhaps you will tell us what seems to you to be that object? |
39566 | Peter, have you ever seen a coal- pit? |
39566 | Plant a grain of corn in midwinter: why does it not germinate and grow? |
39566 | Samuel, what is a third cause of unequal temperature?" |
39566 | Samuel, will you name the second chief source of heat?" |
39566 | Shall we from the burden flee? |
39566 | Some even ventured to approach Mr. Hume himself with their raillery:"What do you think now of being dipped in the river in honor of a dead man?" |
39566 | The Creator foresaw the fall of man; is there no objection to the supposition that, knowing that man would sin, God made no provision for it? |
39566 | The young man answered,''All these have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet?'' |
39566 | Then Ansel spoke up:"Mr. Wilton, why can we not study something which we know to be true?" |
39566 | Was it merely an accident that the dove was fitted to become the emblem of purity and of the Holy Spirit? |
39566 | Was not this so?" |
39566 | What care could give him knowledge of the qualities of all natural substances, that he might avoid their dangerous properties? |
39566 | What carefulness could guard against the tornado on the land, or the hurricane and the cyclone upon the sea? |
39566 | What could his confession do for the young men already, perhaps, among the lost through his influence? |
39566 | What did he mean by that, Samuel?" |
39566 | What does man need besides scope and reward for exertion? |
39566 | What effect, Peter, has the unevenness of the earth''s surface upon temperature?" |
39566 | What if Christ be the Son of God? |
39566 | What if a third example be made of a third city? |
39566 | What if every wicked city is made an example? |
39566 | What if hydrogen were put in the place of nitrogen? |
39566 | What if some other equally active element were mingled with oxygen to form the atmosphere? |
39566 | What if there be a future life and a judgment day? |
39566 | What if, in place of nitrogen, vapor of sulphur were substituted? |
39566 | What is another cause of inequality of temperature?" |
39566 | What is meant by this? |
39566 | What is that?" |
39566 | What is the chief form of this which is used for the production of heat? |
39566 | What is the general principle touching the effect of heat upon bodies?" |
39566 | What is the meaning of this? |
39566 | What is understood, Ansel, by this term, specific heat?" |
39566 | What need is there of a creator? |
39566 | What power should save him from the bursting of the volcano and the jaws of the earthquake? |
39566 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits? |
39566 | What was a confession in comparison with the ruin he had caused? |
39566 | What will be the end of his groping in darkness? |
39566 | What would be the effect, Ansel, if the atmosphere were as warm, or warmer, at the top than at the surface of the earth? |
39566 | What, Mr. Hume, do you think the effect would be upon creatures such as we all know men to be?" |
39566 | When radiant heat falls upon a body, what becomes of it?" |
39566 | Which will encourage the larger manliness and nurture the higher culture and strength? |
39566 | Who can prove that the universe did not exist from eternity? |
39566 | Who should stand sentinel against the unseen poison borne upon the wings of the wind? |
39566 | Who will mention another method by which heat is economized?" |
39566 | Who will suggest it?" |
39566 | Who will tell us?" |
39566 | Why does not the dew-- for frost is nothing but dew frozen as it forms-- come upon the under side of the paper?" |
39566 | Why is this, Samuel?" |
39566 | Why not give up my own will? |
39566 | Why not pray that God''s will may be done?'' |
39566 | Will some one explain this?" |
39566 | Will some one mention some of the general methods by which the waste of heat is prevented?" |
39566 | Will some one now state the manner in which the dynamic theory of heat explains this expansion?" |
39566 | Will some one suggest what this agency is?" |
39566 | Will you bolt the door? |
39566 | Will you not come to him? |
39566 | Will you not trust his promises and commit yourselves to his hands to be saved? |
39566 | Will you tell us, Peter, the first and chief of these effects?" |
39566 | Will you tell us, Samuel, how winds are caused?" |
39566 | Will you tell us, Samuel, the first adjustment or arrangement upon which the temperature of the earth depends?" |
39566 | Will you, Mr. Hume, suggest one of the general arrangements for the economical use of heat?" |
39566 | Wilt thou not bow their pride of heart and turn their wills and make their hearts tender, gentle, and believing? |
39566 | Wilt thou not draw them to thyself? |
39566 | Wilt thou not smite the rock, and cause the waters of penitent grief to flow? |
39566 | With these machines before you, could you tell me whether the inventor were a wise and skillful machinist?" |
39566 | Would God forgive and raise to heavenly heights a man who had dragged others down to hell? |
39566 | Would it be possible that Christ should fill his soul with blessedness while his victims were drinking the wine of the wrath of God? |
39566 | Would it have been wiser and better to leave out of account that most stupendous fact in the history of the human race? |
39566 | Would that seem to be a fitting employment for the sinless children of the all- loving Father? |
39566 | Would you be satisfied to have a commonplace experience, such as thousands of others have, which would attract no special notice? |
39566 | Would you like to study one of the Epistles-- the Epistle to the Romans or that to the Hebrews?" |
39566 | Yet, taken as a whole, can one doubt that variety of climate and change of temperature are of advantage to man? |
39566 | You cry out,''Men and brethren, what shall we do?'' |
39566 | and Peter''s answer,"Lord, to whom shall we go? |
39566 | and the lion, of strength and regal state? |
39566 | and, What is it for God to glorify himself by his works of creation and government? |
39566 | he asked;"do you think Genesis less trustworthy than the Epistle of Paul?" |
39566 | the ant, to be the type of prudent industry? |
39566 | the horse, of spirit and daring? |
39566 | the lamb, to be the emblem of gentleness, of Christ the gentle Sufferer, and of his suffering people? |
35408 | How do we know,says Dr. Chalmers, in stating the atheistic argument,"that the world is a consequent at all? |
35408 | What does not fade? 35408 All nature calls aloud,--''Shall man do less Than heal the smiter, and the railer bless?'' |
35408 | And are we authorized to draw such an inference? |
35408 | And besides, how is the fact to be explained that this power was not exerted till six thousand years ago? |
35408 | And can any reasonable man conceive how such changes can have taken place since the six days of creation, or within the last six thousand years? |
35408 | And can we doubt but that these rocks are thus spread over the surface of the globe because they are needed by all mankind, like air and water? |
35408 | And does not the narrative leave the impression on the mind of the reader, that it was brought about by natural means? |
35408 | And how was it with these? |
35408 | And if so, how liable would vast accumulations of heat be, if there were no safety- valves through the crust, to rend asunder even a whole continent? |
35408 | And if the principle has been found of service in chemistry, meteorology, and astronomy, why should it be neglected in the case of geology? |
35408 | And what are these results? |
35408 | And what could that basis be but the divine plan? |
35408 | And what surer means of bringing out these developments than change, constant and everlasting change? |
35408 | And yet, when we come to look beyond the surface, where do we find more decisive or more numerous indications of God''s beneficence? |
35408 | And, furthermore, how could animals feed on plants without destroying, as they now do, multitudes of minute insects and animalcules? |
35408 | And, need I add that these are but the precursors of the second death? |
35408 | But are not actions merely the external manifestation of thoughts and purposes? |
35408 | But are these grounds sufficient to justify so important a conclusion? |
35408 | But can we doubt that the Author of mind should be able to influence it directly and indirectly, unperceived by the man so acted upon? |
35408 | But do not such evils, incidental to every event, indicate a feeling in the divine mind different from unmixed benevolence? |
35408 | But does it follow, from these positions, that science can throw no light upon the truths of Scripture? |
35408 | But does it, therefore, follow that there can be no change in its material form and aspect? |
35408 | But does not such a view limit the divine power and wisdom? |
35408 | But does not this law of mutual influence between organic beings extend to other worlds? |
35408 | But does not this principle of special adaptation to individual exigencies demand miraculous agency in all cases? |
35408 | But does the fact that man''s faculties are limited, prove that an arithmetical process can not be carried on from eternity to eternity? |
35408 | But he may ask God''s blessing? |
35408 | But if so, what but an infinite mind could in time begin the work of organic creation? |
35408 | But if such be the fact, how happens it that so few persons pass through life without disease? |
35408 | But if the work be not pleasing to Infinite Wisdom and Benevolence, why should I desire for it an ephemeral success among men? |
35408 | But if this were so, would the relation of Moses thereby become false and untenable? |
35408 | But is it the most probable interpretation of this passage, which makes the tempter a literal serpent, or only a symbolical one? |
35408 | But is natural theology in fact destitute of all satisfactory proof that the matter of the universe had a beginning? |
35408 | But is there not evidence that mind sometimes acts directly upon other minds, without any gross, intervening media? |
35408 | But is this the true meaning of a miracle? |
35408 | But the inquiry still arises, What gives the efficiency to this second and third law? |
35408 | But the question is, Why is there such a constitution given to nature as made it necessary to introduce disease, accident, and death? |
35408 | But what connection, it will be asked, can there be between the history of rocks and the benevolence of God? |
35408 | But when did this stupendous event occur? |
35408 | But when they are crushed by falling bodies, or by falling themselves, who imagines this to be the design of gravitation? |
35408 | But where, save in the fiat of an infinite Deity, is the power that can make this universe of death teem again with life and beauty? |
35408 | But who will attempt to fix the chronological limits of these systems? |
35408 | But why may not other developments await them in the round of eternal ages, as their expanding faculties are able to understand and appreciate them? |
35408 | But why should an historical fact possess less value, if transmitted to us through the channel of sacred, rather than profane, writers? |
35408 | But why should they be unwilling to have geology liberalize their minds as much in respect to duration as astronomy has done in respect to space? |
35408 | But, admitting that they do, is it certain that inadequate views of sin are the result? |
35408 | But, after all, would such an interpretation have ever been thought of, had not the discoveries of geology seemed to demand it? |
35408 | By what rule of interpretation can the same word in the next verse be made to mean indefinite periods? |
35408 | Can the one opinion be intelligible while the other is not so?" |
35408 | Can the wants of individuals be met in any other way than by miracles, or by the ordinary and settled laws of nature? |
35408 | Can we believe such a world to be heaven? |
35408 | Confess his error? |
35408 | Confess his sins? |
35408 | Could not such natures have been bestowed upon creatures, that good only might have been their portion? |
35408 | Could the assertors of the stony science ask for language more express? |
35408 | Do we not, in these examples, gather strong intimations of a great law of chemical change in the universe? |
35408 | Do you say that it merely shows infinite wisdom, which adjusts means to ends with consummate skill, in order to be sure of success in its designs? |
35408 | Does it comprehend the universe? |
35408 | Does the atheist say, All is the result of laws inherent in matter? |
35408 | Does the phrase_ in the beginning_ show us when? |
35408 | Does what we suppose might have been then, imply any greater absurdity, than what we actually see to be at present? |
35408 | Even man can do this to his fellow; and shall such a power be denied to God? |
35408 | For what is a natural law? |
35408 | For who can set limits to those mutations which an infinite God can produce upon the matter of this vast universe? |
35408 | From what part of the Bible, or from what uninspired author, can a parallel example be adduced? |
35408 | From whence could this immense volume of water have been derived? |
35408 | Had there not been something in man''s character requiring the discipline of trials, would pure benevolence have sent them? |
35408 | Had they any relation to the existing system? |
35408 | Has Peter, then, made a mistake because he did not understand modern chemistry? |
35408 | Has he been so met by the reasoning that has usually been employed to refute his opinion? |
35408 | He is looked up to as an oracle on other subjects, and why should he not be equally wise concerning religion? |
35408 | He propounds the inquiry,"Do the sun and moon move in the heavens and revolve around the earth, while the earth remains at rest?" |
35408 | How can this hypothesis explain such sudden changes, when its essential principle is, that the progress of the development is uniform? |
35408 | How does it happen, then, you may inquire, that evil is the result of a multitude of contrivances and processes in nature? |
35408 | How is it possible that such reasoning should have satisfied logical and philosophical minds? |
35408 | If he had not seen death in other animals, how could he have any idea of the nature of the threatening? |
35408 | If not, what weight or meaning would there be in the penalty? |
35408 | If the question arises, Whence came such marvellous laws to exist in nature? |
35408 | If they have the former meaning, then the inquiry arises, What are we to understand by the destruction here described? |
35408 | In other words, is not this a case in which the discoveries of science enable us more accurately to understand the Scriptures? |
35408 | Indeed, what natural agency can be named, that is not armed with the power to do evil? |
35408 | Is it all to be imputed to an abuse and perversion of the organs and powers of life? |
35408 | Is it inherent in matter, or is it a power communicated to organization by a supreme Being? |
35408 | Is it not the very place where the objector would find arguments to prove the malevolence, certainly the vindictive justice, of the Deity? |
35408 | Is it not, then, benevolence by which this agency prevents so dreadful a catastrophe, even by means that bring some incidental evils along with them? |
35408 | Is it said that the heavens and the earth shall be dissolved by fire? |
35408 | Is it said that the world shall have an end, and be no more? |
35408 | Is it said that the world shall perish? |
35408 | Is it those which our reasoning derives from the constancy of nature, or those inspired by piety and the Bible? |
35408 | Is not a strong presumption hence produced that further and more scrutinizing observation will show the few excepted cases not to be real exceptions? |
35408 | Is not the God of revelation the God of nature also? |
35408 | Is not the conclusion a fair one, that the hypothesis has no solid foundation? |
35408 | Is not the evidence against it overwhelming? |
35408 | Is the term ever applied to any but extraordinary events? |
35408 | Is this an exactly correct statement of the case? |
35408 | It must exist and act wherever we find light, heat, or electricity; and where do we not find them? |
35408 | May it not imply as much as Taylor''s theory supposes? |
35408 | May not this be one of the modes in which new developments of the character of God will open upon them in the world of bliss? |
35408 | Must we not, then, regard this fact as one of the settled principles of science? |
35408 | Nay, if there be no distinct spirit in man, what evidence have we that there is one in Jehovah? |
35408 | Now, if we admit that mind does operate upon other minds while we are in the body, independent of the body, can we tell how far the influence extends? |
35408 | Now, in the case under consideration, is there any reason to doubt the high antiquity of the globe, as demonstrated by geology? |
35408 | Now, in what manner have these ingenious arguments been met? |
35408 | Now, might not the same question be carried back to any point or period of duration, however remote? |
35408 | Now, the question is, Do not these different statements conflict with one another? |
35408 | Now, what are the changes which the last six thousand years have witnessed? |
35408 | Now, what was it that gave the laws of nature power, after so long an operation unproductive of vitality, to produce organic natures? |
35408 | Now, who gave to matter, in a gaseous state, such wonderful laws that this fair world should be the result of their operation? |
35408 | Now, will not the condition and character of Adam show how this curse might be fulfilled, without any change in the productions of the soil? |
35408 | Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? |
35408 | Seeing, then, that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness? |
35408 | Shall geology here, also, be permitted to modify our exposition of the Bible? |
35408 | Shall the gross perceptions of this disordered world be made the standard of all that exists? |
35408 | Shall we attempt to trace back that history any farther? |
35408 | Shall we not, then, admit that to be religious truth on earth which in heaven will form the food of perfectly holy minds? |
35408 | Shall we turn our steps first to the valleys and mountains of Wales? |
35408 | Thank God for giving him access to such follies? |
35408 | The only question is, Do they suffer so much that their existence is not a blessing? |
35408 | Then why are the remains of men not found with theirs? |
35408 | This may be understood only of the present form and organization of the visible system? |
35408 | To what use can such vast forests be applied? |
35408 | We talk about its power to produce certain effects; but who can point out any inherent power of this sort which it possesses? |
35408 | Were they governed by different laws, or are they all but parts of one great and harmonious system, embracing the whole of the earth''s past duration? |
35408 | What better confirmation could we wish than this gradually expanding series? |
35408 | What but the strongest necessity, the most decided_ exigentia loci_, would justify such an anomalous interpretation of any author? |
35408 | What can he say to God, when he would pray to him? |
35408 | What events in the earth''s pre- Adamic history would seem less likely to come down to us than the pattering of a shower? |
35408 | What evidence is there that the same laws have ever prevailed? |
35408 | What is a natural law without the presence and energizing power of the lawgiver? |
35408 | What is a secondary cause? |
35408 | What is he to do the following morning? |
35408 | What is it on earth that affords the greatest amount of happiness derived from the external world? |
35408 | What is odyle? |
35408 | What is the evidence that the chemical rays of a sunbeam are rays of light? |
35408 | What is this but ascribing infinite perfection to law, and imputing to it effects which only an infinite intelligence could bring about? |
35408 | What mark is given us, by which we may know where the boundary is between the literal and the metaphorical sense? |
35408 | What then would become of the marks of design and unity in nature, and of the Theist''s argument for the being of a God? |
35408 | What though he still clings to the notion of matter''s eternity? |
35408 | What though human experience, dependent on the bluntness of mortal sensibilities, can not demonstrate such an influence? |
35408 | What though the atheist should here be allowed to maintain his favorite theory that matter never had a beginning? |
35408 | What, now, by a fair exegesis, is taught in this passage concerning the destruction and renovation of the world? |
35408 | What, then, has so completely annihilated this argument, that now the merest schoolboy would be ashamed to advocate it? |
35408 | Whence came the seeds? |
35408 | Where was the need of overwhelming those regions in which there were no human beings? |
35408 | Where, then, can we find the thousands of years which, by this theory, are essential to prepare this residence for their reception? |
35408 | Who can conceive of any inherent force that should thus enable them, all at once, to do what true philosophy shows to have demanded infinite skill? |
35408 | Who can find the traces of benevolence in the midst of such desolation and death? |
35408 | Who can say that it might not rend a continent asunder, and, if deep enough seated, even the whole globe? |
35408 | Who can show how a law operates but through the energizing influence of the lawgiver? |
35408 | Who can tell us now when this process of refrigeration commenced? |
35408 | Who has not heard of the fertility of the banks of the Nile, the Niger, the Ganges, the Amazon, and the Mississippi? |
35408 | Who knows but a blow struck upon a single link of organic beings here may be felt through the whole circle of animate existence in all worlds? |
35408 | Who knows but this is the hour when the peal is beginning? |
35408 | Who thinks, at this day, of any discrepancy between astronomy and revelation? |
35408 | Who will admit such an absurdity? |
35408 | Who will deny this? |
35408 | Who will maintain that all this took place in the short period of two thousand years? |
35408 | Why is it not an example of spontaneous generation? |
35408 | Why may not a part of that increase depend upon their introduction into higher and higher economies through eternal ages? |
35408 | Why should it not be transmitted by means of the luminiferous ether to the limits of the universe? |
35408 | Why, then, I inquire, should these provisions for trying exigencies in the animal system always tend to the happiness of the creature? |
35408 | Why, then, has he not done it? |
35408 | Why, then, he must have inquired, is there such a profusion of vegetable forms, and such a colossal development of individual plants? |
35408 | Why, then, may we not attach the same limited meaning to these declarations? |
35408 | Why, then, should it not be taught to children, that they may not be liable to distrust the whole Bible, when they come to the study of geology? |
35408 | Will any one believe that the principles of moral science and mathematics will be altered or annihilated by the conflagration of the globe? |
35408 | Will any one believe this possible, in a vessel not more than four hundred and fifty feet long, seventy- five feet broad, and forty- five feet high? |
35408 | Will any reasonable man believe this possible without a miracle? |
35408 | Would it not be equally good to disprove the demonstrated principles of mathematics which relate to infinite quantities? |
35408 | Would not unmixed benevolence have conferred the good, but have withheld the evil? |
35408 | Yet what uninspired writer of the first century would have imagined such a result? |
35408 | [ 2] What but the principles of science could have thus vindicated a precious doctrine of revelation? |
35408 | _ By one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin._ What terms more general or explicit than these could be used? |
35408 | _ My fourth argument in support of the general principle is based upon odylic reaction._ And what is odylic reaction? |
35408 | _ Suppose ye_, answered the Savior,_ that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? |
35408 | _ There shall come_, says he,_ in the last days, scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
35408 | and if so, is the discrepancy apparent only, or real? |
35408 | and must not his varied works tend to sustain and elucidate, instead of weakening and darkening, one another? |
35408 | and why may not new species be produced in this manner? |
35408 | and, therefore, is not thought the efficient agency that impresses the universe? |
35408 | or for the fact, that as we rise higher in the rocks, there is a nearer and nearer approach to existing species? |
35408 | or for the fact, that most of them are of a highly tropical character? |
35408 | or who would regard it in opposition to the sacred record? |
35408 | or, in other words, might we not dispense with a beginning for the world altogether?" |
35408 | or, in other words, what is a law of nature considered as a cause? |
47314 | A branching channel, with a mazy flood? 47314 And there a glorious City stood, And''mid tumultuous market- cry, I asked''Where rose the Town? |
47314 | And what progress have we made in our task of explaining Sight? 47314 But now we ask further, wherein does this higher law manifest itself to us, as the physical law does in the material world? |
47314 | Does Structure originate Function, or does Function originate Structure? 47314 He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? |
47314 | I found a country wild and rude, And, axe in hand, beside a tree, The Hermit of that Solitude,-- I asked''how old that Wood might be?'' 47314 Is not this,"he asks Hutcheson,"laid a little too strong? |
47314 | There in the deep of waters cast His nets one lonely fisherman, And as he drew them up at last I asked him''how that Lake began?'' 47314 What am I? |
47314 | What story? |
47314 | Why is this? |
47314 | [ 154] But in what history is any such experience written? 47314 ''Omnipresence''is simply_ presence throughout all space_; and what do we know of''presence''at all but by our own experience? 47314 ''What,''he may ask,''is it that holds together the parts of these ultimate atoms?'' 47314 --to say nothing of the desideratedwhat?" |
47314 | A Sermon upon the Question Under what Conditions is a Science of Natural Theology possible? |
47314 | A more subtle question would be this;--Suppose it could be taken away, how nearly would Man and brute approach each other? |
47314 | A straight bridge, or with two lines touching at the apex? |
47314 | Again,"Do you mean by the word inconceivable,_ unthinkable_ or_ unimaginable_?" |
47314 | Am I th''abandon''d orphan of blind chance? |
47314 | And does not the same remark apply to every attempt at solving the antithesis of mind and matter? |
47314 | And have we not, every one of us, who tries to be good, our proper fields of hard yet repaying work? |
47314 | And if this were true, what would become of the order and harmony of the Universe? |
47314 | And is not all this most plain and evident? |
47314 | And is not seeing, believing? |
47314 | And is there not something in the"Religious insight"Mr. Newman speaks of which seems nothing less than a gift of vision and faculty divine? |
47314 | And this seems reasonable; for who would assert that a Professor of Poetry ought to give competent instruction in the Calculus? |
47314 | And what are they? |
47314 | And what consideration for the individual is tolerable unless society be the gainer thereby?" |
47314 | And what endowment has a higher claim to such a representative kinship?--what nobler gift can be conceived from God to man than a Belief of Reason? |
47314 | And what human dream, vision, or philosophy, could ever have foreseen the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him? |
47314 | And what if we could extend our field of view to a world-- to the universe? |
47314 | And what is Man, compared with the equal dog who bears him company? |
47314 | And what is more delusive in evidence than a half- truth, or more perilously sophisticating to the mind of him who utters it? |
47314 | And what more is gone besides? |
47314 | And what relation does visual_ Perception_ bear to this Power? |
47314 | And who is not in earnest, as sunset and sunrise remind him how the majestic clock of Time moves on? |
47314 | And why was this? |
47314 | And, if not, can we expect truly to know the_ self_ of anything? |
47314 | And, when this question is answered as it must be answered, need we feel surprised if we fall short of conceiving the self- subsistent God? |
47314 | Arbuthnot._"''To the eye of vulgar Logic,''says he,''what is man? |
47314 | As I describe these instances one by one, let my hearers ask themselves, How does this illusion come about? |
47314 | As Socrates and Cicero have pointedly asked:''Whence have we picked it up?'' |
47314 | Besides, if Mental activity is resolvable into Brain, why should not Matter be likewise resolved into Force? |
47314 | Besides, in this latter example do we not see how truly correlative these two terms Power and Function are? |
47314 | But Oh philosopher, is all this a contemptible dream? |
47314 | But about colour? |
47314 | But are all points of the relation to be implied? |
47314 | But are they the same in our race?--may they not more probably be red, green, and violet? |
47314 | But can there be any difficulty in proving, that vice and virtue are not matters of fact, whose existence we can infer by reason?... |
47314 | But did Paley himself perceive any such community of attribute? |
47314 | But do you not think it looks very like a Notion entertained by some eminent Moderns, of_ seeing all things in God_? |
47314 | But does anybody on their account doubt his own Self- ness or Identity? |
47314 | But does the lesson of life really go this way? |
47314 | But does this rejoinder satisfactorily dispose of the difficulty? |
47314 | But how are we to know that Force must be all of one kind and description? |
47314 | But how can any Idea or Sensation exist in, or be produced by, anything but a Mind or Spirit? |
47314 | But if dim to some, is it certainly dim to all? |
47314 | But if this be true of the_ human_ Will, what ought to be said of the_ Divine_? |
47314 | But in either case is the good effect its full and comprehensive"why?" |
47314 | But now comes the question, who or what is answerable for the Reviewer''s misconception,--Spencer or his critics? |
47314 | But so long as we all believe the same thing, what matter is it how we come by that Belief? |
47314 | But suppose the stone about which you and I are talking was thrown by the fiery force of a volcano? |
47314 | But then, what is that secret strength which apprehends and evokes the higher law? |
47314 | But what about its final end? |
47314 | But what arms could we take up to stem the billows of a swelling tide? |
47314 | But what does this instrument enable us to see? |
47314 | But what is all we really know and can know about the latter phenomenon? |
47314 | But what is the foundation of this method of reasoning? |
47314 | But what merely sensitive intelligence could discern the invisible agency,--or measure the conversion of force, where nothing is visible except loss? |
47314 | But what say you, are not you too of Opinion that we see all Things in God? |
47314 | But who would wish the congelation of our Moral sense? |
47314 | But why? |
47314 | But, can the Physiologist conceive such a monstrosity? |
47314 | But, has it ever possessed latent powers for which opportunity was always wanting? |
47314 | But, how? |
47314 | But, if it is inquired,"whether the_ Mechanical_ Laws of Matter are the laws of Universal Nature, including human nature? |
47314 | But, is not one chief object in knowing man, to acquaint ourselves with God? |
47314 | But, must not all things really great and good be toilsome to men who are neither very good nor very great? |
47314 | But, suppose both face and sorrow were themselves only shadows? |
47314 | But, suppose your young philosopher for his own pleasure wrings his canary bird''s neck? |
47314 | But, what are we to say of A? |
47314 | Can any thoughtful person admit the conclusions of one apparently so unfit for his task? |
47314 | Can he and others help believing them true? |
47314 | Can he conscientiously believe that its issue is a worthy representation of the Divine and omnipotent Creator? |
47314 | Can he ever expect to perform the behests of that pure and perfect Will? |
47314 | Can such worship, or such an object of worship, bless and satisfy our high aspiring race? |
47314 | Can there be a nobler_ object_? |
47314 | Can this be a declaration deduced from the supreme law of Interest,--is it not rather a foundation maxim of independent morality? |
47314 | Can we absolutely say either yes or no to this inquiry? |
47314 | Can we know our own Personality or that of others?--or any Thing in itself? |
47314 | Can we tell the secret of our own individuality? |
47314 | Can we, if we try, perceive by sense the nerve- currents brainwards, or the sensory which receives and compares them? |
47314 | Can you build a bridge of the same wedges in any other figure? |
47314 | Compared with the painter''s regrets, were mine, I asked, less natural? |
47314 | Compared with this creed, the martyrs of Monotheism were self- loving-- for did not they hope? |
47314 | Darwin et Wallace, d''expliquer la couleur terne de certaines espèces par sélection sexuelle? |
47314 | Did Plato see farther than Herschel could when he burst the barriers of the sky? |
47314 | Did Schelling at any time behold what Hamilton pronounced invisible? |
47314 | Did clouds first descend upon it like a fiery rain- storm? |
47314 | Did not the ancients assert it as a Fact, that the earth stood still, and the stars moved? |
47314 | Did the uninstructed and stammering childhood of our race, separate, in thought, the_ Supernatural_ from surrounding nature? |
47314 | Did water first surround the glowing orb as a heated vapour? |
47314 | Do my young friends guess what will follow? |
47314 | Do we know--_can_ we know any more? |
47314 | Do you fancy I will grant you a lease for so long a term? |
47314 | Does any one commit an error unintentionally? |
47314 | Does any one fancy that he sees a solid cube? |
47314 | Does any one feel sure that a death- watch is the servant and interpreter of kitchen timepieces? |
47314 | Does any one wilfully do wrong? |
47314 | Does it rest upon any definite separation in Nature? |
47314 | Does not the apprehension of the Fact imply assumptions which may with equal justice be called Theory and which are perhaps false Theory? |
47314 | Dropped by wild atoms in disorder''d dance? |
47314 | Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind''s throwing? |
47314 | First, for his fiery anathema:--"When we run over libraries, persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? |
47314 | First, if inscrutable as to its ultimate nature-- its highest essence, and deepest thought,--is it so in its attributes? |
47314 | For from what impression could this idea he derived?... |
47314 | For have they not seen with their own eyes the Sun rise up in the East, ascend to the top of the sky, and go down in the West? |
47314 | For how few of our past actions are there, of which we have any memory? |
47314 | For we ourselves strive to act on_ true_,_ fitting_, and_ reasonable_ grounds of purpose; and shall we think less of Him,"Who teacheth Man knowledge"? |
47314 | For what is there in this subject which should occasion a different conclusion or inference? |
47314 | For, do not writers of fiction deal in probabilities? |
47314 | For, what else is this Dualism but the battle between two Gods of fundamentally distinct natures? |
47314 | From what causes do I derive my existence, and to what condition shall I return? |
47314 | Further,"If unthinkable, is it absolutely so, or only very difficult to think?" |
47314 | Has Man any faculty of apprehending the Infinite? |
47314 | Has every one here learned the true reason why? |
47314 | Having dispensed, then, with the supernatural, are we necessarily without any religion? |
47314 | He that formed the eye, shall He not see?... |
47314 | Here, again, the real question is, How far is such a distinction maintainable in fact? |
47314 | How can we ascribe to them any sentiments at all? |
47314 | How can we classify without a standard of classification, arrange or connect without threads of connection or arrangement? |
47314 | How do we perceive, hear, see? |
47314 | How else can we maintain our critical consistency? |
47314 | How great is the subjective Element in our perceptions? |
47314 | How is it then that we thus find an Idea which is_ supplied_ by our own minds, but which is_ exemplified_ in every part of the organic world? |
47314 | How many metaphysicians proper, or how many skilled students of Natural Science, can explain that novel compound"Psychoplasm"? |
47314 | How many theorizers seem to justify Sir William Ellis''s old observation, that few of his medical brethren ever got much notion of Mind? |
47314 | How much and what do we see? |
47314 | How otherwise can he certainly allege that the prejudice is not inherent within himself? |
47314 | How then are we to sum up the case? |
47314 | How then should I and any man that lives Be strangers to each other? |
47314 | How, again, could He satisfy the aspirations of earnest but half- hopeless human souls, without gathering them to His presence and to Himself? |
47314 | If A then certainly--_what_? |
47314 | If so, may we not expect much from His hand? |
47314 | If the Universe began in a shining Nebula, the question remains unsolved,--what first brought the thin cloud into being? |
47314 | If the latter,"Is the contradictory also inconceivable?" |
47314 | In other words, is the alkali anything more than a bundle of properties momentarily known to us? |
47314 | In this connection it must likewise be asked with some urgency, what_ non_-Biological reasons there are for preferring Design? |
47314 | Is it not a piece of pleasant bantering, to be equalled only by certain French philosophers? |
47314 | Is it not an obvious corollary, from Mr. Locke''s opinion, that he never was born? |
47314 | Is it produced by our optic instrument or by our mental activity? |
47314 | Is it too presumptuous to suppose that we can thus enter into the Ends and Purposes of the Divine Mind? |
47314 | Is it, after all, an evil, that in some directions we fail to attain certainty by mere thinking?... |
47314 | Is not the charm of one of Plato''s or Aristotle''s definitions, strictly like that of the Antigone of Sophocles? |
47314 | Is not this good- humoured? |
47314 | Is the Environment the product of the Organism? |
47314 | Is the Organism purely the product of the Environment? |
47314 | Is the antithesis between Right and Wrong,--the Moral Imperative"Do this and live, transgress and die,"--absolutely and immutably true? |
47314 | Is the great Book of Nature-- the world we live in-- a closed or open book to Man? |
47314 | Is there any possible reason for elevating a death- watch-- thinking in character as a death- watch-- into a capable interpreter of clocks? |
47314 | Is_ this_ or_ that_ particular point a duty;--is it right or wrong;--or is its observance open to debate? |
47314 | It is this:--What reason have we to look for a future life after that hour of dissolution which inevitably awaits us all? |
47314 | Let us at once ask in what light He is thereby represented? |
47314 | Mais cet autre anthropomorphisme par lequel les Darwinistes supposent chez les oiseaux un sens du Beau identique au nôtre, est il plus justifié? |
47314 | Man has no ladder of ascent left him; and why should he wish to climb? |
47314 | May he likewise ask two favours of the intelligent reader; neither of them he trusts unreasonably onerous? |
47314 | May it be permitted its writer to drop the tone of an Essayist, and to say that every word of it has come from his heart? |
47314 | May the spiritual pastor ever become the slayer or the salesman of his flock? |
47314 | May we not, then, presume it impossible to bring worse charges against any argument than whatever can be urged in support of these two accusations? |
47314 | Mr. Carlyle asks,"Do not Books still accomplish_ miracles_, as_ Runes_ were fabled to do?... |
47314 | Must we hence infer the existence of a Cyclops or a Titan? |
47314 | N''en peut- il pas être de même pour la voix criarde de tel ou tel volatile? |
47314 | Next, if Spencer''s special walk in philosophy ends with the bare positing of this Idea, must_ all_ Philosophy do the same? |
47314 | Now, does not this very rigour leave man as hopeless, as if he were altogether without God? |
47314 | Now, what resemblance is here visible? |
47314 | One event befals them both; yet we may ask whether before or after that one event, Man has or can have any preeminence above the beast? |
47314 | Or from an endless chain of causes wrought, And of unthinking substance, born with thought? |
47314 | Or, again, why may not the concomitancies be rather resolved some other way;--_e.g._, Matter( including Brain)= Force= Mind? |
47314 | Our highway and bond of union? |
47314 | Quand la température y eut baissé au degré compatible avec les existences vivantes, ces existences se montrèrent; mais comment? |
47314 | Que deviendront ces masses animées d''un mouvement rapide? |
47314 | Say was the GLORY complete? |
47314 | Serait il absurde de supposer chez certains oiseaux un goût prononcé pour les couleurs sombres, comme ce goût existe chez beaucoup d''hommes? |
47314 | Shall we attribute to a growing width of Thought, the increased breadth of view under which Idealism has of late years been represented? |
47314 | Shall we not regret that the hard, the grim, and the dismal, should characterize our 19th century philosophy? |
47314 | So it might appear to the peculiar mind of the speaker; but how about the mind of him who promulgated the evolution- hypothesis? |
47314 | Some questions inevitable,_ e.g._, What are the first grounds of Truth? |
47314 | Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities? |
47314 | The assertor ought in return to be asked one or two questions,_ e.g._,"Do you mean inconceivable to yourself or to the generality of Mankind?" |
47314 | The essential and fundamental inquiry is, whether we are or are not still to have a Religion? |
47314 | The first question is, Does the fact of seeing or the fitness to see raise a moral certainty or very strong probability of Design? |
47314 | The mind creates perspective, how much then may it not create? |
47314 | The more noble the object sought, the more arduous the task and toil,--and what can be nobler than a well- grounded belief in God and Immortality? |
47314 | The question we ask is,--with what_ view_ P became an act? |
47314 | The reply made, answers another question of the deepest interest:--"Are there any conditions under which a Science of Natural Theology is possible?" |
47314 | The righteous clock is indeed genuinely Huxleian, but what shall we say of his mechanical logic, his piano, and his death- watches? |
47314 | The_ comparison_ sets out from this question:--What can merely animal nature do to raise itself? |
47314 | There is not one of the sceptics to whom you have alluded, who would not, if he were asked the question,"What is the use of the eye?" |
47314 | These assertions were made in a University Sermon[70] on the question,"Under what Conditions is a Science of Natural Theology possible?" |
47314 | They live and die and make no sign,--and how can quiet unavowed disbelief obtain a separate place in the columns of the Registrar- General? |
47314 | This, indeed, is inconceivable: and to assert that which is inconceivable, is to talk Nonsense: Is it not?. |
47314 | Thy very hatred, thy very envy, those foolish lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humour: what is all this but an inverted sympathy? |
47314 | To decide this question, is to decide something as to the extent of their_ relativity_; but will any one pronounce their information absolutely true? |
47314 | To the eye of Pure Reason what is he? |
47314 | Was Thurtell the cause or the physical antecedent of Weare''s death? |
47314 | Was he wise or unwise in his disbelief? |
47314 | We ask with some eagerness, how may these things be? |
47314 | We may ask with reason what gain accrues to the statesman by looking at his country''s constitution from this point of sight? |
47314 | We must not ask,"Is there Mind in the natural world?" |
47314 | We see in them movements propagating movements; but then we are obliged to ask, what moved the first of them? |
47314 | We should still have to inquire by what agency and to what purpose we and the All exist? |
47314 | We simply ask how does this food from without, get_ into_ us? |
47314 | Were I a steam- engine, wouldst thou take the trouble to tell lies of me? |
47314 | What beings surround me? |
47314 | What but a mighty hunger for God can explain this weary, unending search for Him? |
47314 | What but the reasoning spirit, the thought and the faith and the feeling? |
47314 | What can the morally impotent or the morally imperfect do for us? |
47314 | What could life be to him? |
47314 | What could reflect, though dimly and faint, the INEFFABLE PURPOSE Which from chaotic powers, Order and Harmony drew? |
47314 | What else can explain the unthanked effort to make plain a path to Him that no man wants to travel?" |
47314 | What experience have we with regard to superior beings? |
47314 | What indeed can seem more_ simply_ true than the admission of a fact? |
47314 | What is He to it? |
47314 | What is Mechanical Law to us? |
47314 | What is it really to us, the earth''s inhabitants? |
47314 | What is responsibility? |
47314 | What is the central spring that moves the strictly human power, and converts it from a sleeping capacity for good, into an acting and living energy? |
47314 | What is the offence of a lamb that we should rear it, and tend it, and lull it into security, for the express purpose of killing it? |
47314 | What its final cause? |
47314 | What meaner eye, then, could ever succeed in piercing the secret architecture of the Universe? |
47314 | What sort of a Power must he finally determine this mind to be? |
47314 | What then becomes of the Absolute ground, or First Cause of all things? |
47314 | What then ought to be the fair and legitimate inference from an issue magnificently tried throughout the celestial universe? |
47314 | What then was the inference Hume himself intended? |
47314 | What was the motive of this act? |
47314 | What wish?" |
47314 | What worth in Man''s body then,--what worth in his soaring mind? |
47314 | What, but the grateful sense, conscious of love and design? |
47314 | What, then, caused it? |
47314 | When impressed by colours, are we conscious of an optic nerve, retina, crystalline lens and other instrumental powers of vision? |
47314 | When we have described all these properties, have we defined the whole substance? |
47314 | Whence drew I being? |
47314 | Where am I, or what? |
47314 | Where can he find or make room for wrong- doing, when impelling Mechanism determines all? |
47314 | Where shall we find the experience required? |
47314 | Which was really groundless-- every- day belief or scepticism? |
47314 | Who can lay down the limits of what our minds create for themselves outside us? |
47314 | Who can reprove the man when he feels and asserts his own moral power, for a belief in Miracles? |
47314 | Who does not remember Sir W. Scott''s lines in the"Lady of the Lake,"on the returning phantoms of early youth,--change, loss, and separation? |
47314 | Who ever yet demonstrated the existence of either?... |
47314 | Who shall limit the right of society except society itself? |
47314 | Who shall persuade him to deny the reasonableness of a Providence following creation? |
47314 | Who, therefore, shall safely predict for us the effects of its proposed discipline? |
47314 | Whose favour shall I court, and whose anger must I dread? |
47314 | Why is infinite a negative idea? |
47314 | Why should any philosopher resist this judgment? |
47314 | Why should not the second improvement be a retrogression_ away from_ the ultimate organ now possessed by man, and necessary to his well- being? |
47314 | Why should one natural belief be treated more tenderly than another?... |
47314 | Why then should anybody ignore on their account the great First- Cause? |
47314 | Why, he asks, should the bite of a mad dog have been allowed to produce hydrophobia? |
47314 | Why, let us ask, does Mathematical truth occupy so lofty a position? |
47314 | Why, that is, should the dog''s saliva have been so_ contrived_, as to convey so virulent a blood poison? |
47314 | Why, they ask, should so powerful an instinct dwell in the breast of our race with only a misleading issue? |
47314 | Would any one in any public meeting of scientific men dare to stand up and_ deny_ that there was Mind in Nature? |
47314 | Would he not have urged with the force of truth, that to animalize a Man is to destroy his Manhood, to weaken his judgment and impair his Moral sense? |
47314 | Would not a man without sense of the Beautiful be"colour- blind"to many among the harmonies of Nature? |
47314 | Would that be an aldermanic beetle feast or a_ Resurgam_? |
47314 | Would this surrender of Natural Theology-- or rather of all Theology-- necessitate in reason any_ other_ vast surrender also? |
47314 | Yet in this process,_ what and how much_ would have come within the grasp of a merely sensitive intelligence? |
47314 | Yet what are the conditions or evidences of veracity upon which his and his fellows''present convictions must necessarily repose? |
47314 | Yet, how far do we really know the life throbbing in every pulse? |
47314 | Yet, if we can not_ know_ this first growing- point of our individual life, it may be useful to inquire what can we know_ about_ it? |
47314 | Yet, no primary truth can ever be very simple to man, else why so many conscientious doubters? |
47314 | Yet, who on that account would deny the true sense and delight of poetry, rhythm, and melody? |
47314 | [ 101] Is there, asks Idealistic Scepticism, any outside world at all? |
47314 | [ 103] If these things and others like them are fairly considered, what becomes of our readings in the unclosed book of Nature? |
47314 | [ 149] What then is the true human meaning of this Monistic creed? |
47314 | [ 168] Speculatively considered, what can the weapon commonly called argument do against Idealism? |
47314 | [ 171]"What are the core and essence of this hypothesis? |
47314 | [ t] Weighing these inconsistencies together, shall we say that, in any proper sense, we_ know_ our own selves? |
47314 | _ Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matters of fact and existence?_ No. |
47314 | an opponent might fairly ask;"is it not useful so to do? |
47314 | and can any Fact have stronger apparent evidence to justify persons in asserting it emphatically than this had?" |
47314 | and for what end? |
47314 | and on whom have I any influence, or who have any influence on me? |
47314 | and the other, what remained in his thought the province of practical Metaphysique? |

47314 | to what period tend? |
47314 | what habits of thought, what previous information, what Ideas does it imply, to conceive the Fact as a Fact? |
47314 | what, but the Soul of the soul? |

19566 | And after that? |
19566 | And after that? |
19566 | And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God? 19566 Can thunder from the thirty- two azimuths, repeated daily for centuries, make God''s laws more godlike to me? |
19566 | Has not the French Academy pronounced against the use of quinine and vaccination, against lightning rods and steam engines? 19566 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct you?" |

19566 | [ 349] The nature of light is however still as great a mystery as when Job demanded,Where is the way where light dwelleth?" |

19566 | But how much of it is experimental science_ to you_? |
19566 | But if six generations could thus be born in Syria, or India, in a century, why not in Egypt? |
19566 | But if so, what becomes of the rings of the nebular theory? |
19566 | But it is worth while to inquire, Is science really so positive, and religion so uncertain, as these persons allege? |
19566 | But then comes the great question, What is below the granite? |
19566 | But then it is asked, Is God the Author of an imperfect law? |
19566 | But we demand to know what standard of morals our objectors adopt? |
19566 | But what, it has been asked, is a brief period of 3,000 years, when compared with the geologic ages? |
19566 | But, however fully the atheist may know that matter is eternal, we do not know any such thing, and must be allowed to ask, How do_ you_ know? |
19566 | But, my good sir, how am I to know what kind will suit me? |
19566 | But_ the_ question-- which we marvel beyond measure that the bishop overlooks-- always was, Where did Cain get his wife? |
19566 | By what process of philosophical induction is religion alone put beyond the sphere of faith and hope? |

19566 | CHAPTER V. Who Wrote the New Testament? |
19566 | Can We Believe Christ and His Apostles? |
19566 | Can intelligences be compounded, or like bricks and mortar, piled upon each other? |

19566 | Canst_ thou_ set the dominion thereof in the earth? |
19566 | Could God give a defective code of morals? |
19566 | Could I prosecute the toils of study alone, without companion or friend to share my labors? |
19566 | Could the New Testament be Corrupted? |
19566 | Could you, or could any man, have permission to alter the original copy of Washington''s Farewell Address? |
19566 | DID THE WORLD MAKE ITSELF? |
19566 | Did a mass of iron, becoming discontented with its gravity, suddenly metamorphose itself into a cloud of gas, or into a pail of water? |
19566 | Did he know what he was about in making it? |
19566 | Did it contain within itself all the principles of things, all the forces now found in the worlds which grew out of it? |
19566 | Did it go to the sun, or to the moon, or to the pole star, or to this earth? |
19566 | Did it kindle of its own accord? |
19566 | Did its improvement kill it? |
19566 | Did the Council of Nice Make the Bible? |

19566 | Did the small potatoes beget the big ones? |
19566 | Did these men tell the truth when they told the world that they did eat and drink with Jesus after he rose from the dead, or did they lie? |
19566 | Did these secure them against the moral government of God? |
19566 | Did this gospel of Christ actually produce any such reformation of their lives? |
19566 | Did you ever study the employment of the saints there? |
19566 | Do they not unanimously denounce geologists and astronomers as heretics, for asserting the vast antiquity of the earth?" |
19566 | Do you ever hear astronomers, in common discourse, use any other language? |
19566 | Do you know any science which has been prosecuted by one- hundredth part of this number of inquirers? |
19566 | Do you know any? |
19566 | Do you mean to say that these are not essential elements of the Old Testament religion?" |
19566 | Do you suppose the world will be turned upside down, and reformed, by a little good advice? |
19566 | Do you think anybody could forge a letter as from me, and impose it on them? |
19566 | Does anybody go to Macaulay to look for the history of the Westminster Assembly, or to Bancroft for an account of the Great Revival in New England? |
19566 | Does he care whether it answers any purpose or not? |
19566 | Does he know what is going on in it? |
19566 | Does it mean just twenty- four hours there? |
19566 | Does not every one know that nothing marvelous ever happened, or, if it did, would any historian trouble himself to record a prodigy? |
19566 | Does the gradation show that the little ones begot the big ones? |
19566 | Does the grave hide forever all that I loved? |
19566 | Every Other Book Inspired? |
19566 | Fill it as full of electricity, magnetism and odyle as you please; do these afford any_ reason_ for its very extraordinary conduct? |
19566 | For still the questions arise, Where did this almighty matter come from? |
19566 | For the effecting of a creation out of nothing? |
19566 | For what cause is the fortune of these countries so strikingly changed? |
19566 | For who can better direct me when I hesitate, or instruct me when I am ignorant? |
19566 | For, if not, of what use is it for you to trouble yourself about the Old Testament? |
19566 | HAVE WE ANY NEED OF THE BIBLE? |
19566 | Had Seth a wife? |
19566 | Had he any object in view in forming it? |
19566 | Had it a mind, and a will, and a perception of propriety? |
19566 | Has he forgotten the straws carried over all Ireland in one night, and the Chupatties of the Indian Mutiny? |
19566 | Has he given me the principle of curiosity, without which such an endowment were useless? |

19566 | Has the Creator of the world common sense? |
19566 | Has the moon an atmosphere? |
19566 | Have We Any Need of the Bible? |
19566 | Have they ceased to be? |
19566 | Have we any testimony on the subject? |
19566 | Have we fifty- seven eternal beings? |
19566 | Have you not willingly remained in ignorance of the contents of the Bible, because you dislike its commands? |
19566 | Have you, in fact, ever seen one in a thousand of these minerals and fossils_ in situ_? |
19566 | He looked at it a moment, and then inquired:"H- h- how do you know it''s A?" |
19566 | He puts forth his energy for what? |
19566 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he be not correct? |
19566 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
19566 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see?_ It does not say, he has an eye or an ear, but that he has the knowledge we acquire by those organs. |
19566 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
19566 | He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know? |
19566 | Hear him._"What saith Christ, then, respecting the Old Testament? |
19566 | How came the world to be under law without a lawgiver? |
19566 | How can any one imagine a being composed of the sum of all the intelligences of the universe? |
19566 | How can such contradictions be true? |
19566 | How can we accept their code of morals if we refuse to believe them when they speak of matters of fact? |
19566 | How could Noah and his three sons build a ship larger than the Great Eastern? |

19566 | How does it happen that this singular people is dispersed over all the earth, and yet distinct and unamalgamated with any other? |
19566 | How does the Infidel account for it? |
19566 | How happens it then that the human race has of a sudden waked up to such a strange sense of the folly of idolatry and the value of religion? |
19566 | How many of the nine hundred and forty- two substances treated of in Turner''s Chemistry have you analyzed? |
19566 | How much of this fourth part have geologists been able to examine? |
19566 | How now, from this word being used by Moses, could this learned bishop conclude that he necessarily meant to describe the globe? |
19566 | How should they?--treating of different countries, and for the most part of different periods, and writing civil and not church history? |
19566 | How would you like to have a fish for your forefather? |
19566 | How, then, can philosophers ever learn the process of building worlds like our own in which many other powers are at work? |
19566 | How, then, is the nerve to be protected, and yet the sight not obstructed? |
19566 | I ask her whence I came? |

19566 | IS GOD EVERYBODY, AND EVERYBODY GOD? |
19566 | IS THE GOSPEL FACT OR FABLE? |
19566 | If I am able, by my own reason, to construct a perfect standard of morals to judge the Bible by, what need have I for the Bible revelation? |
19566 | If he possessed no divine authority, what right has he to control your inclination or mine? |
19566 | If it had not, where did it get them? |
19566 | If it is any one of them, where did the others come from? |
19566 | If its top reaches not to heaven, can it make a ladder long enough to carry us there? |
19566 | If man is the highest intelligence in the universe, to whom should he render an account of his conduct? |
19566 | If not, how did attraction, and repulsion, vegetable life, animal life, intellect, and free will, work themselves into that cloud of homogeneous gas? |
19566 | If so, how came they there? |
19566 | If the soul of man is the highest intelligence in the universe, did the soul of man create, or does the soul of man govern it? |
19566 | If they could, did these finite intelligences create themselves? |
19566 | If they were not, where did they come from? |
19566 | If they were, how did they escape being burnt to ashes? |
19566 | If_ create_, and_ make_, and_ form_, have all the same meaning, why use them all in the same verse? |
19566 | In short, how are we to make the chemical materials live? |
19566 | In short, is it a genuine book, or merely a collection of myths with the apostles''names appended to them by some lying monks? |

19566 | Is it a fact, or a forgery? |
19566 | Is it a true history or a lying romance? |
19566 | Is it because you perceive they lead to results which you dislike? |
19566 | Is it credible that an impostor would direct his forgery to be publicly read? |
19566 | Is it credible that they would allow them to be altered and corrupted? |
19566 | Is it iron, or sulphur, or clay, or oxygen? |
19566 | Is it possible he could make such a beast of himself in such a short time?" |
19566 | Is it possible then that these converted heathens did really even approach this standard of morality? |
19566 | Is it uniform, or like our atmosphere, ever varying? |
19566 | Is it your daily prayer, Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly? |
19566 | Is not the abundance of quack doctors conclusive proof of the existence of disease, and of the need of physicians? |
19566 | Is that the Infidel''s notion of virtue? |
19566 | Is the Gospel Fact or Fable? |
19566 | Is the fire that heated it burning still, or is it exhausted for want of fuel? |

19566 | It gives no answer to the questions, How did it get to be so hot, while all the space around it was so cold? |
19566 | It is high, I can not attain unto it; Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? |
19566 | It is not, Did Christ reveal more than Moses? |
19566 | Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? |
19566 | Let the unbeliever, then, be asked, Is there no truth in prophecy?--no reality in religion?" |
19566 | Mankind, it seems, will have a Church and a Bible of some sort; why not go to work and make a Church and a Bible of their own? |
19566 | Matthew Poole says:"Where was the need of overwhelming those regions of the earth in which there were no human beings? |
19566 | May not the life of the nation be as liable to accidents and diseases as that of the individual? |
19566 | Nay, is there a letter in your own, or in any other alphabet, that was not originally a picture of something? |
19566 | Now if man can thus control and use the laws of nature for human purposes, why can not the God who made him so cunning do as much? |
19566 | Now that is certainly a remarkable fact, and all the more remarkable if we inquire, How came it so? |
19566 | Now what are the facts given to solve the problem of the earth''s age? |
19566 | Now what is the cause of this remarkable conversion of prince, priests, and people? |
19566 | Now, I demand to know whether they are aware that the earth''s rotation on its axis is the cause of day and night? |
19566 | Now, if so, why winnow such chaff? |
19566 | Now, if this was a falsehood, what motive had they to tell it? |
19566 | Now, we are tempted to ask, Who are these wonderful prodigies, so incapable of receiving instruction from anybody? |
19566 | Of what possible use would the Christian code of morals be without the authority of Christ, the lawgiver? |
19566 | Of what, then, do they consist? |
19566 | One- half? |
19566 | One- tenth? |
19566 | Or are they all eternal? |
19566 | Or canst thou guide Arcturus, with his sons? |
19566 | Or do they signify the orderly and regular sequence of cause and effect, which is so manifest in the course of all events? |
19566 | Or do you shrink back in terror or dislike from God''s denunciations of wrath against the wicked? |
19566 | Or how could any such argument be founded on a basis so little extended? |
19566 | Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? |
19566 | Or is the veracity of Baillie, or Edwards suspected, because political history does not concern itself much about religion? |
19566 | Or shall my soul exist under God''s frowns, or perish under his just sentence, even as my body perishes? |
19566 | Or what does it signify to you or me, reader, that the Bible raises its head far above the other cedars of earthly literature? |
19566 | Or who would have any right to call him to account? |
19566 | Or, if some wiseacre did prepare such a book, would it be very useful to children? |

19566 | Reason asks herself, Will God be always thus angry with me? |
19566 | SCIENCE, OR FAITH? |
19566 | Science or Faith? |
19566 | Shall I always feel these pangs of remorse for my sins? |
19566 | Shall we adore his soul? |
19566 | Shall we ever meet again? |
19566 | Shall we then adore the souls of Kepler and Newton? |
19566 | So that the question is not, Did God give as full and expanded instructions to the Church in her infancy as he has given in her maturity? |
19566 | State the Question Sharply-- Why? |
19566 | Strange questions you will say; yet we need to ask a stranger question: Had the world a Creator, or did it make itself? |
19566 | Suppose we ask, Could God speak Hebrew-- a language so defective in philosophical terms? |
19566 | Take away the moral sanction of law, and the sacredness of oaths, and what basis have you left for any government, save the point of the bayonet? |
19566 | Take away the persons, and of what value are the things? |
19566 | That of the ancient oriental world in which Israel lived? |
19566 | The boy eyed the A for a moment and then asked:"H- h- how do you know but he l- l- lied?" |
19566 | The grand question is: How does the protoplasm become alive? |
19566 | The inner nature of the cannibal and of the Rationalist is the same-- whence comes the difference of character and conduct? |
19566 | The other prophecy referred to by Von Hammer is as follows:"Have you heard of a city of which one side is land, the two others sea? |
19566 | The question is whether reason can accept the fact, though science can not even imagine the process? |
19566 | The question is, Can we believe them? |
19566 | The question then is simply this, Was Jesus really the Divine Person he claimed to be, or was he a blasphemous impostor? |
19566 | Then I demand of you,"What more could either God or man do to convince you of their truthfulness?" |
19566 | Then how came they to get together at all, and particularly how did they put themselves in their present shapes? |
19566 | Then why is it any cooler now? |
19566 | These arguments from ignorance need no other answer than the questions, Do you know how the sun shines at all? |
19566 | This is the book about which we make our present inquiry, Who wrote it? |
19566 | Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?" |
19566 | Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? |
19566 | Unbeliever, are you prepared to meet him there, and prove him a perjured impostor? |
19566 | Unpopular, pure, and penniless, if the gospel story were not true, how could it have had preachers? |

19566 | We are not in search of the literary beauty or poetic inspiration of the Bible; but we inquire by what right does it command our obedience? |
19566 | We can not avoid asking with as much gravity as we can command, Where did the mist come from? |
19566 | We say to our would- be philosophers, When you tell us that matter is eternal, how does that account for the formation of this world? |
19566 | We sell our property for bank- bills, but who dare say they will ever be paid in specie? |
19566 | We want to know why they think so? |
19566 | Well, how did they lose their hair? |
19566 | Well, then, what science have we gained of the mysteries of our origin? |
19566 | Well, then, your grandmother? |
19566 | Were the germs of all the plants and animals in it while it was blazing at a white heat? |

19566 | Were the survivors of the Irish famine of 1847, or those of the Persian, or Bengali famines improved by their struggle for life? |
