Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bible of Reason, Vol. 2: Or, Scriptures of Modern Authors 1. Where is the intellect that has soared beyond the narrow circle of objects and views prescribed by the accustomed use of the senses, and the circumscribed rules of ignorant and artificial institutions, and has ranged through and contemplated the infinite expanse, or medium, to which the utmost extent comprehended by the imagination is but finite, bears no proportion, and is as nothing? What mind is there which has attained that utmost reach of knowledge, the science of the universe, so as to perceive that there exists not its comprehender? 2. The eternity of the human species, of worlds, suns, planets, and the brilliant scenes of the infinite and magnificent universe, a subject inexpressibly important and extensive in its nature, is more nearly interesting to every denomination of men than any thing that can possibly be the object of disquisition. At a period when a liberality of sentiment seems to be gaining ground - when men, emerging from the mists of ignorance, relinquish the errors and prejudices of their ancestors, something descriptive of the disposition of that stupendous existence, of which we form a necessary part, seems wanting to give still greater force and consistence to the reasonings of mankind. 3. The world, the universe, the infinity, has no beginning in time, and no bounds in space; it has no comprehender, much less Creator; there is no vestige of a beginning, and no prospect of an end. 4. The infinite orders of existence are involved in one eternal Nature. 5. The thing that hath been is that also which will be. 6. Who shall limit that which is unlimited? 7. The world contains in itself the seeds of its own eternity. It is far less difficult to conceive of its eternal continuance than of its final cessation.
