The scientist insist that the Unknown is not changed so far as he knows by prayers of people or priests. He admits that he does not know whether the Unknown is good or bad--whether he, or it, wants or whether he, or it, is worthy of worship. He does not say that the Unknown is God, that it created substance and force, life and thought. He simply says that of the Unknown he knows nothing. Why should Christians insist that a God of infinite wisdom, goodness and power governs the world? Why did he allow millions of his children to be enslaved? Why did he allow millions of mothers to be robbed of their babes? Why has he allowed injustice to triumph? Why has he permitted the innocent to be imprisoned and the good to be burned? Why has he withheld his rain and starved millions of the children of men? Why has he allowed the volcanoes to destroy, the earthquakes to devour, and the tempest to wreck and rend? IV. THE TRINITY THE New Testament informs us that Christ was the son of Joseph and the son of God, and that Mary was his mother. How is it established that Christ was the son of God? It is said that Joseph was told so in a dream by an angel. But Joseph wrote nothing on that subject--said nothing so far as we know. Mary wrote nothing, said nothing. The angel that appeared to Joseph or that informed Joseph said nothing to anybody else. Neither has the Holy Ghost, the supposed father, ever said or written one word. We have received no information from the parties who could have known anything on the subject. We get all our facts from those who could not have known. How is it possible to prove that the Holy Ghost was the father of Christ? Who knows that such a being as the Holy Ghost ever existed? How was it possible for Mary to know anything about the Holy Ghost? How could Joseph know that he had been visited by an angel in a dream? Could he know that the visitor was an angel? It all occurred in a dream and poor Joseph was asleep. What is the testimony of one who was asleep worth? All the evidence we have is that somebody who wrote part of the New Testament says that the Holy Ghost was the father of Christ, and that somebody who wrote another part of the New Testament says that Joseph was the father of Christ. Matthew and Luke give the genealogy and both show that Christ was the son of Joseph. The "Incarnation" has to be believed without evidence. There is no way in which it can be established. It is beyond the reach and realm of reason. It defies observation and is independent of experience. It is claimed not only that Christ was the Son of God, but that he was, and is, God. Was he God before he was born? Was the body of Mary the dwelling place of God? What evidence have we that Christ was God? Somebody has said that Christ claimed that God was his father and that he and his father were one. We do not know who this somebody was and do not know from whom he received his information.
