[SPAM] D he can not have this deliverance from sin, with

E more. Matter is eternal; it did not begin to be. Mind is not eternal;
it began to be; Therefore, mind is not matter. Where, gentlemen, O where
will you place mind? is it also nothing? That which began to be was
created. Life and mind, both, began to be; Therefore, life and mind were
created. _Question._ Were they the effects of an inadequate cause?
Inanimate and unintelligent nature would not be an adequate cause. Did
these do more than animated intelligence can do? Gentlemen of skeptical
proclivities answer. If so, is this not evolution backwards? Is it not
retrogression, or development at the expense of the loss of power to
rise to the plane of unintelligent mind and life evolving nature? Do you
say, organic life does evolve organic life and mind. From a state of
death? Without antecedent life and mind being drawn upon? Come,
gentlemen; how is this? You say inanimate Nature produced life and mind
without the previous existence of either; can you duplicate that feat
with your power? If you can't are you not below the inanimate Nature
which did it for the first time? Can inanimate forces do more than
living intelligent Nature? Do you say no! Then demonstrate the
philosophy of spontaneous generation of life, and show yourself A GOD.
An effort to produce organic life without antecedent life, or where it
is not, is an effort to create organic life. The efforts of unbelievers
to produce organic life by spontaneous generation, is an effort to
produce organic life where it is not. Therefore the efforts of
unbelievers to produce organic life, by spontaneous generation, is an
effort to create organic life. An effort to create organic life where it
is not is an effort to rise into the character of a God, and show one's
self the equal of God. But why should this effort not be made? If
unintelligent dead matter has performed the feat, without wisdom or
design, why should it not be performed by living intelligent Nature?
Gentlemen, demonstrate your theory. Do you say, we have given up all
hope of witnessing its demonstration? Well, well, has any man ever
witnessed it? You say no. Then it is n
