I got hold of an infidel some time ago. I said, “How do you account for the formation of the world?”
“Oh! force and matter work together, and by chance the world was created.”
I answered, “It is a singular thing that your tongue isn’t on the top of your head if force and matter just threw it together in that manner.”
If I should take out my watch and say that force and matter worked together, and out came the watch, you would say I was a lunatic of the first order. Wouldn’t you? And yet they say that this old world was made by chance! “It threw itself together!”
I met a man in Scotland, and he took the ground that there was no God. I asked him:
“How do you account for creation, for all these rocks?” (They have a great many rocks in Scotland.)
“Well!” he exclaimed. “Any school boy could account for that!”
“Well, how was the first rock made?”
“Out of sand.”
“How was the first sand made?”
“Out of rock.”
You can see he had it all arranged so nicely. Sand and rock, rock and sand.
