More From Thomas Huxley

Adam and eve - and especially eve - are victims of the greatest character assassination the world has ever known. eve is not secondary. eve, if anything, is the great initiator in the story. she's the first independent woman. for me, rediscovering that eve was the greatest bad**s women of all time was a revelation.
Character Independent World
A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.
Children Real Inspiration
Now, which am i to believe, a book that any impostor might make and call the word of god, or the creation itself which none but an almighty power could make? for the bible says one thing; and the creation says the contrary. the bible represents god with all the passions of a mortal, and the creation proclaims him with all the attributes of a god.
Believe Book Passion
Time, you'll be pleased to know--and since one must start somewhere--was created in creation. the question what was there before creation? is meaningless. time is a property of creation, therefore before creation there was no before creation.
Time Creation Property
I've learned a lot about women. i think i've learned exactly how the fall of man occured in the garden of eden. adam and eve were in the garden of eden, and adam said one day, wow, eve, here we are, at one with nature, at one with god, we'll never age, we'll never die, and all our dreams come true the instant that we have them. and eve said, yeah... it's just not enough is it?
Dream Fall Men
The gods were bored and so they created man. adam was bored because he was alone, so eve was created. thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. adam was bored alone, then adam and eve were bored together; them adam and eve and cain and abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.
