Sinopsis

Excerpt from Universal Evolution

Finality assumes that a personality, comprehensible to man, created the universe out of nothing. That is, everything is given. But there is no nothingness. Noth ing is a relative term. If one tfies to perceive, or con ceive nothing, he finds it impossible, because, in making the effort he, himself, is still existing, or he could not be perceiving it. If he could succeed in annihilating both himself and notself, then there would be no perception, nor conception of the fact. Therefore we use the word nothing to mean, there is always something. It is, there fore, not logical to think that anything was created out of nothing.

Excerpt from Universal Evolution

Schools of Philosophy. - During the last fifty years the theory of Evolution has produced a revolution in the thoughts of the civilized world. Scientists have generally adopted the theory, and at present, after years of analytic study of all its features, are dividing themselves into two, or more schools. But in all the divisions there seems to be no denial of the basic principle, but merely, as usual upon all theories, a division of men along the lines of materialism and idealism. The aspect, which such a theory presents to the brain, depends upon the organization of the brain. To those brains which, before the renaissance of the idea of evolution, were not wholly in accord with finality, the theory now presents a material aspect, - one that can be called mechanistic. On the contrary, to that brain which was thoroughly imbued with the old order of ideality, or mysticism, it would take the form of a creative principle, in some way guided by some power either abstract, or personal. There are many forms of these two schools of evolutionists. This is natural, because no two brains are alike in structure, and therefore are dissimilar in ideas. The mechanistic school is that of Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, Carl Vogt, etc.
