Publisher description
Excerpt from Faith and Facts: Credulity Versus Common Sense Throughout our short lives, and down the long vistas of past history, we find in nature universal law and order prevailing everywhere without a break. Under such circumstances, overwhelming evidence is now loudly demanded to establish the astounding assertion that this happy unity of design has ever been momentarily suspended, at any time, by any miraculous agency. Our Bibles tell us we should have "a reason to give for the faith that is in us." No one accepting this ancient dictum as a Divine command can desire to stifle the fullest inquiry. The following pages attempt, in a few plain words, to point out - as in a nutshell - the slender authority upon which religious fanaticism builds its dogmas; a position that common sense, supported by simple facts, altogether disputes. When instituting an impartial investigation into the truths of Christianity, we cannot conceal from ourselves the knowledge that two other creeds, larger than our own, preaching the purest altruism, flourish in the present day, each alike claiming that it, too, solely possesses, through saving faith, authentic passports to perpetual pleasure! But few people fully realise - if, as Jewish Scriptural tradition asserts, there exists a personal controlling agency, directing the movements of countless solar systems, including our own insignificant planet - that his habitat (for he is distinctly masculine) must be sought in limitless regions of eternal night and inconceivable cold. It is only in the vicinity of incandescent suns that light and heat are generated at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
