Excerpt from The Problem of Problems, and Its Various Solutions; Or, Atheism, Darwinism, and Theism
In the second chapter the author endeavors to present the posthlata and data that we have and must use in solving the problem, and without which a solution is impossible. The great principle of a true inductive philosophy, which the scientist pro fesses to take as his guide, is that we should carefully examine the phenomena, being careful to include all Of them, and by such examination learn their nature and characteristics, and from their characteristics determine their cause, using in the solution all the phenomena and all the aids we can Obtain. While pre tending to take human nature as his standard in his investiga tions and speculations, and human reason as his means of invest igation, the skeptical scientist ignores the religious and spiritual element of our nature, and utterly discards the plainest utter ances and intuitions of the highest - the regnant element of our nature. Then, in the second chapter, we insist on a full state ment of all the phenomena, moral, rational, religious, and spirit ual, as well as physical, that we may have all the data and a full use Of all the elements of our nature. This is especially im portant, since the elements of our nature, ignored by the scientist, are the very ones and the only ones that can solve the problem. The great questions of causation and creation, intelligent causa tion and creation, can be solved only under the guidance and direction of pure reason. And the rational, moral, and religious elements Of our nature, and chiefly by them. We shall endeavor to show that so long as the scientist pursues his present course he can only inform us of the manner in which the phenomena trans pire, but is utterly impotent to tell what caused them and why they transpire.
