which comets shoot at a speed a thousand times as fast as an
express train--can you, after seeing Saturn's rings, and Jupiter's
moons, and the clustered gems of Hercules, consent for a moment
to the allegation that the creator of all this power and glory
got angry with men, and threatened them with scabs and sores,
and plagues of lice and frogs? Can you suppose that such a
creator would, after thousands of years of effort, have failed
even now to make His repeated revelations comprehensible? Do
you believe that He would be driven across the unimaginable gulfs
of space, but of the transcendent glory of His myriad resplendent
suns, to die on a cross, in order to win back to Him the love of
the puny creatures on one puny planet in the marvellous universe
His power had made?

Do you believe that the God who imagined and created such a
universe could be petty, base, cruel, revengeful, and capable
of error? I do not believe it.

And now let us examine the character and conduct of this God
as depicted for us in the Bible--the book which is alleged to
have been directly revealed by God Himself.
