Excerpt from The Creation of Matter: Or Material Elements, Evolution, and Creation, Thomson Lectureship Trust The greatest questions which man can ask and attempt to answer belong to the sphere of origins. We live in the midst of perpetual motion and change, and see all things flowing around us without ceasing. Are they as a river proceeding from a source and running towards a goal? Are they as a sea swaying to and fro, for ever to and fro; or as a whirlpool circling round and round, without beginning or end 1 Have they existed from eternity as they are now; or have they assumed their present form by chance aggregation, combination, and development; or have they been built up out of eternal matter by an eternal mind arranging, uniting, constructing; or is matter itself the work of mind 1 Natural theology, arguing from design, has hitherto only set itself to prove that the great kosmos in the midst of which we find ourselves has not existed from eternity as it now is, has not been formed by chance, but has been arranged and built up by a mind of immeasurable power. We propose to address ourselves to the last question, and to show that matter is the creation of mind; that in its primal elements, however far back we may have to go to find them, there are so many signs of mind as to render it evident that they are the product of an understanding that is infinite, of a hand that is omnipotent.
