On the Nature and the Existence of God (Classic Reprint) by Annie Besant Pdf

Excerpt from On the Nature and the Existence of God It is impossible for those who study the deeper religious problems of our time to stave off much longer the question which lies at the root of them all, "What do you believe in regard to God?." We may controvert Christian doctrines, one after another; point by point we may he driven from the various beliefs of our churches; reason may force us to see contradictions where we had imagined harmony, and may open our eyes to flaws where we had dreamed of perfection; we resign all idea of a revelation; we seek for God in Nature only; we renounce for ever the hope (which glorified our former creed into such alluring beauty) that- at some future time we should verily "see" God, that "our eyes should behold the King in his beauty" in that fairy "land which is very far off." But every step we take onwards towards a more reasonable faith and a surer light of Truth leads us nearer and nearer to the problem of problems, "What is That which men call God?" Not till theologians have thoroughly grappled with this question have they any just claim to be called religious guides; from each of those whom we honour as our leading thinkers we have a right to a distinct answer to this question, and the very object of the present paper is to provoke discussion on this point.

The Existence of God Attested Through the Marvels of Nature (Classic Reprint) by August Codde Pdf

Excerpt from The Existence of God Attested Through the Marvels of Nature The Object of this little work is to show the Existence of God attested through the Marvels Of Nature, the first work brought to light by the author, and, being written in clear language, it may all be well understood. It is not composed for contradiction, for this would be unwise; in other words, the Gospel should not be reversed or denied. Our holy fathers, through the holy Apostolic Church, have shown in an admirable way, to infidels, that there is a God without beginning and everlasting, having an almighty power and wisdom. Yea: a Creator who made Heaven, firmament and world in perfect order by pronouncing the word? A Lord who made the body Of man from dust, animated it with an invisible and im mortal spirit, as it were a spark of His divinity, one day to return to Him; that He instituted laws, through words and acts, to warn and strengthen him against sin. Those laws, well known, are convincing to man if he is good and willing, and trusts in his Divine Master.

The Natural Theology of Evolution (Classic Reprint) by J. N. Shearman Pdf

Excerpt from The Natural Theology of Evolution Most persons who are disposed to be religious find it an easy thing to see the hand of God in the works of nature. To them it is pleasant and profitable to contemplate the world as God's handiwork, and they are disposed to offer the marks of design which it shows as a convincing proof of His existence. The attempt to present this proof in a clear and orderly way has given rise to Natural Theology, a study which, until quite recently, was in high repute and esteem.

Excerpt from Natural Theology, Vol. 2: Or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity; Collected From the Appearances of Nature There are glands in the skin of birds for the secretion of oil, as being important for the support of the feathers. Beside these each feather appears to be supplied with oily matter from the point of the skin where it is inserted. But the quantity of oil ne cessary for rendering them impenetrable to water is furnished by the oil glands here mentioned, situated on the sacrum, which are particularly large in wading and aquatic birds, and they pour out their 011 by two fissure-like openings.

The Idea of God (Classic Reprint) by Paul Carus Pdf

Excerpt from The Idea of God The idea of God is so variously defined that we make bold to say that every single individual has a conception of his own. There are no two alike, and the idea of God among different persons is indic ative of their character, for every man creates his God in his own image. There was a brave officer in the Austrian army nu der Prince Eugene. When once in his presence the problem of God's existence was discussed, he clapped his hand on his sword and said: Gentlemen, I stand up for God with my sword, I challenge whoever denies him and, so help me God, I'll conquer him. I hope that God will stand up for me, too, on the day of judg ment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

On the Nature and Existence of God by Richard M. Gale Pdf

First published in 1991, Richard M. Gale's classic book is a response to and critique of new, contemporary arguments for the existence of God from analytical philosophers. Considering concepts including time, free will, personhood, actuality and the objectivity of experience, Gale evaluates the new versions of cosmological, ontological, pragmatic and religious experience arguments that emerged in the late-twentieth century. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Paul K. Moser, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this influential work has been revived for a new generation of readers.

Principles of Natural Theology (Classic Reprint) by George Hayward Joyce Pdf

Excerpt from Principles of Natural Theology It follows from what we have said that in the Scholastic philosophy Natural Theology is no um essential adjunct, no mere afterthought, but a substantive and vital part of the system, without which it would be radically incomplete. It claims to establish from assured first principles the exist ence of'a Supreme Being, distinct from the finite and mutable things of experience. It maintains, further, that though the limitations of the human intellect render all our knowledge of Him inade quate, we are not wholly ignorant of His nature. There are certain attributes which can be affirmed of Him with certainty, though they are His in a manner more 'perfect than any which we can imagine. Above all, He is' intelligent and free, and therefore possessed of personality. In Him it finds the source and origin of all finite beings, and the final cause in view of which such beings exist.

God in a World at War (Classic Reprint) by Douglas Clyde Macintosh Pdf

Excerpt from God in a World at War The great world-war had led a good many people seriously to raise for the first time the question as to whether they ought not to revise their inherited religious belief. It all depends upon what happen to have been their inherited beliefs. Nothing has happened during the war that has not, in principle, happened over and over again in the course of human history; there are no essentially new religious problems to be faced. But many who were putting off the troublesome duty of fundamental thinking until a more convenient season are now finding themselves forced, for their own peace of mind, to begin even at this late hour to do their own religious thinking and come to their own conclusions. The religious questions most commonly raised by the war have been concerning divine providence in human affairs, the meaning of the presence of so much evil in the universe of a presumably good God, assurance as to a life after death, the religious status of the individual soldier with special reference to the hereafter, and the prospect for the future well-being of the human race.

God the Known and God the Unknown (Classic Reprint) by Samuel Butler Pdf

Excerpt from God the Known and God the Unknown There are many who see nothing in this tendency of our nature but occasion for sar casm; those, on the other hand, who hold that the world is by this time old enough to be the best judge concerning the manage ment of its own affairs will scrutinise this management with some closeness before they venture to satirise it; nor will they do so for long without finding justification for its apparent recklessness for we must all fear responsibility upon matters about which we feel we know but little on the other hand we must all continually act, and for the most part promptly. We do so, therefore, with greater security when we can persuade both ourselves and others that a matter is already.
