Overview

In simple language and from a philosophical basis, Francis Aveling states the natural proofs by which the existence of God is demonstrated. The first four chapters are concerned with certain preliminary considerations necessitated by the nature of the arguments themselves. Therefore, these introductory chapters treat the general principles, method, and distinctions separately in order that the actual arguments might not be cumbered with explanations that might draw attention from the main point. From chapter five onward, the scholastic proofs are set out in order with little extraneous matter.

“He begins to realise that his one science alone is insufficient, and indeed, properly speaking, does not attempt to explain the true natures and reasons of things.” (Page 5)

“human. For us, the testimony of our senses is overwhelming: and, since we are what we are, we must accept it” (Page 15)
