Excerpt from The Origin of Supernatural Conceptions and Development of Religions
The knowledge of the advent of man and his sta tus in the universe wherein he found himself prior to the attainment of modern science, was derived from traditionary legends evolved from the vivid imagi nations oi the human brain attempting to interpret the history of his creation, and the purpose of his existence. It is apparent that those legends have a fictitious origin, although they were assumed to be divine revelations. There is a tendency in the hu man mind to retain its early impressions with great tenacity; and it is difficult, and often impossible, to unlearn the most illogical and preposterous falla cies that men have been taught as truths in their earlier life while they seize with avidity every pre tension to reveal a future life they have learned to believe in, but of which no man has any knowl edge or comprehension, except from the fabulous traditions of unknown writers.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins of the world's superstitions and dogmas, which the author believes to originate from the fertile imagination of our early ancestors and their attempts to explain the unknown. The author traces the progression of humanity's understanding of its place in the universe, from primitive fear and superstition through to the development of modern science and reason. The book explores the impact of religious thought on human conflict and suffering while challenging the concept of a transcendent being. The author argues that our knowledge of the universe and our place within it is the result of our own intellectual efforts, rather than any divine revelation. The book concludes with an impassioned plea for the separation of church and state, and a rejection of the idea of a higher power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
