Excerpt from The Basis of Religion: Being an Examination of "Natural Religion" If it distresses any one to think that I personally aban don all that the extreme school call in question, certainly he may console himself. In general the negative view is regarded in this book no otherwise than as I find it to be regarded by most of those to whom the book is principally addressed - viz., as a fashionable view difficult for the moment to resist, because it seems favoured by great authorities, a view therefore concerning which, how ever unwillingly, we cannot help asking ourselves the question, What if it should turn out to be true '2 But if I were asked what I myself think of it, I should remark, that it is not the greatest scientific authorities who are so confident in negation, but rather the inferior men, who echo their opinions but who live themselves in the atmo sphere not of science but of party controversy.
