affairs. I cannot see in science, nor in experience, nor in history
any signs of such a God, nor of such intervention.

I cannot believe that God hears and answers prayer, because the
universe is governed by laws, and there is no reason to suppose
that those laws are ever interfered with. Besides, an all-wise
God knows what to do better than man can tell Him, and a just God
would act justly without requiring to be reminded of His duty by
one of His creatures.

I cannot believe that miracles ever could or ever did happen. Because
the universe is governed by laws, and there is no credible instance
on record of those laws being suspended.

I cannot believe that God "created" man, as man now is, by word of
mouth and in a moment. I accept the theory of evolution, which
teaches that man was slowly evolved by natural process from lower
forms of life, and that this evolution took millions of years.

I cannot believe that Jesus Christ was God, nor that He was the
Son of God. There is no solid evidence for the miracle of the
Incarnation, and I see no reason for the Incarnation.

I cannot believe that Christ died to save man from Hell, nor that
He died to save man from sin. Because I do not believe God would
condemn the human race to eternal torment for being no better than
He had made them, and because I do not see that the death of Christ
has saved man from sin.

I cannot believe that God would think it necessary to come on earth
