And religion itself, in its reasonable forms, can take over the ether theory as an article of faith, bringing into contradistinction the mobile cosmic ether as creating divinity, and the inert heavy mass as material of creation.[11] From this successfully scaled height of monistic knowledge there open up before our joyously quickened spirit of research and discovery new and surprising prospects, which promise to bring us still nearer to the solution of the one great riddle of the world. keywords: animals; atoms; conception; ether; god; history; knowledge; life; man; matter; nature; organic; philosophy; present; religion; science; soul; spirit; substance; view; world; years cache: 9199.txt plain text: 9199.txt
