Excerpt from The Origin and Nature of Man
Such is the introductory sentence to Huxley's essays on Science and Hebrew Tradition and it correctly describes the attitude of all men of sound intelligence and clear knowledge towards the Bible. Not merely for more than one thousand years, but for more than three thousand years, the greatest thinkers have preserved Sacred Books with profound respect and reverence. Confucius described himself as one who loved and believed in the ancients; and long before the days of Confucius the wise men in 'egypt and Asia treasured the wisdom handed downby the great primitive teachers of mankind. What gives Sacred Books their unique position? Works on agriculture and mechanics, which would teach something of the nature of the material world and of the physical laws governing phenomena, seem to the human animal of much. More import ance than theories respecting his origin and nature; and yet the most ancient writings of every nation that has an ancient literature treat of the super natural or the spiritual. Man is a spirit, and there fore cannot live by bread alone. The instinct to seek harmony with the Infinite Spirit is more vital to the normal man than the instinct to eat bread. Multitudes have died for their religion.
