“Pause to think a moment. What has been your ideal of God, the Creator of all these universes and systems of worlds? Is not the thought that has filled the minds of men for ages, that of a God in the form of a man, larger possibly than themselves, seated upon a throne somewhere in [...]

“In the whole celestial sphere, the number of stars bright enough to be seen with the naked eye is only from 6,000 to 7,000, whereas, the number visible in the great Lick telescope is probably 100,000,000, and Professor Young makes the remark that it shows stars so faint that it would take more than 30,000 [...]

“In our flight across the vast void, the solar system is left behind as an island in space, and we find that we have traveled 250,000 times the radius of the earth's orbit before we have reached the nearest fixed star, and from it no telescope yet invented could reveal a single one of the [...]

Quote Continued: “” Says the writer: ‘Physically there is no such thing as cold. The transformation of the uniform series of possible physical temperatures from zero to infinite, different only in intensity, into a manifoldness of two antagonistic qualities, heat and cold, with even a changeable zero-point between, is purely physical. If this zero-point can [...]

the goal of life or science and revelation: chapter vi (other worlds than ours)
“Astronomers, in their investigation of the solar system, perceive that the larger planets lying beyond our own are less dense, and to a certain degree, self-luminous, and they inquire, "Is it Possible for life to exist upon these worlds?" Such a question can be answered only by logical deduction. The best intellects will say, "If [...]
