Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review: July, 1896 I cannot know it I doubt it yes, I disbelieve it for any thing that all the world can know, I am at liberty to deny it, and I shall act and live accordingly. And it must be said that this attitude, not merely of suspended doubt but of practical denial, is not without its rational defense. If there be a good God who has created man intelligent and thoughtful and yet unable to know his Creator, then men may argue that God is weak and so unworthy of their homage, or that God is unjust and so forfeits their reverent regard. Granted the premise of intellectual agnosticism, and the conclusion of entire indifference to God follows. Incapacity for religious knowledge becomes a sufficient warrant for lack of religi ous faith. Prof. Huxley's candid confession of the blighting influ ences of his method is supported by reason as well as by the facts: Agnosticism can be said to be a stage in the evolution of religion only as death may be said to be a final stage in the evolution of life/'1' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
