Text Content: Is it possible to know why we are put into this condition of mortality? 27 It is quite as possible to know wherefore man is thus conditioned, as to be certain that he is in a state of mortality. The only evidence of the existence of a mor- 30 tal man, or of a material state and universe, is gathered Miscellaneous Writings --- Questions and Answers page 65 1 from the five personal senses. This delusive evidence, Science has dethroned by repeated proofs of its falsity. 3 We have no more proof of human discord, — sin, sickness, disease, or death, — than we have that the earth's surface is flat, and her motions imaginary. If 6 man's ipse dixit as to the stellar system is correct, this is because Science is true, and the evidence of the senses is false. Then why not submit to the affirmations of 9 Science concerning the greater subject of human weal and woe? Every question between Truth and error, Science must and will decide. Left to the decision of 12 Science, your query concerns a negative which the posi- tive Truth destroys; for God's universe and man are immortal. We must not consider the false side of exist- 15 ence in order to gain the true solution of Life and its great realities.
