"We know what the intellect of
Man may originate, we know its creative power, its power of combination, of foresight, of analysis, of concentration; we are, therefore prepared to recognize a similar action emanating from a Supreme Intelligence to a boundless extent. We need therefore not even attempt to show that such an Intellect may have originated all the Universe contains; it is enough to demonsttate that the

world and, more particularly, the organization of living beings in their connection with the physical world, prove in general the existence of a Supreme Being as the Author of all things. The task of science is rather to investigate what has been done, to inquire if possible how it has been done, than to ask what is possible for the Deity, as we can know that only by what actually exists.
To attack such a position, those who would deny the intervention in nature of a creacive mind must show that the cause to which they refer the origin of finite beings is by its nature a possible cause, which cannot be denied of a being endowed with the attributes we recognize in God. Our task is therefore completed as soon as we
have proved His existence. It would nevertheless be highly
desirable that every naturalist who has arrived at similar
conclusions should go over the subject anew from his point of view and with particular reference to the special field of his invesrigations; for so only can the whole evidence be brought out." |
