The history of the origin of one religion will, with slight alterations, serve to describe them all. Their claim to credence rests on the exhibition of miracles which are a violation of the laws of nature. If religions were founded on the demonstrated truths of science, there would be no mystery, no supernaturalism, no miracles, no skepticism, no false religion. We would have only verified truths and demonstrated facts for the basis of our belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
