[92] “An able philosophical writer, Miss Frances Power Cobbe, has
recently and truthfully said:--
“‘It is a singular fact that when we can find out how anything is
done, our first conclusion seems to be, God did not do it. No matter
how wonderful, how beautiful, how intimately complex and delicate has
been the machinery which has worked perhaps for centuries, perhaps for
millions of ages, to bring about some beneficent result, if we can but
catch a glimpse of the wheels, its divine character disappears.’
“I agree with the writer that this first conclusion is premature and
unworthy, I will add deplorable. Through what faults and infirmities
of dogmatism on the one hand, and skepticism on the other, it came
to be so thought, we need not here consider. Let us hope, and I
confidently expect, that it is not to last; that the religious faith
which survived without a shock the notion of the fixity of the earth
itself may equally outlast the notion of the absolute fixity of the
species which inhabit it; that in the future, even more than in the
past, faith in an order, which is the basis of science, will not,
as it cannot reasonably, be dissevered from faith in an Ordainer,
which is the basis of religion.”--“Sequoia and its History,” in
