Book Description
Excerpt from The Oracle of Reason, or Philosophy Vindicated, Vol. 1 The present age needed a few examples of sterling integrity and unflinching courage. Southwell and holyoake have furnished two, that will not soon be forgotten, and must fire every manly heart with a spirit of noble emulation. Southwell, single-handed, attacked the monster, superstition, in its very den. He challenged the big beast to mortal combat, and, though a prisoner, not a bone of his body is broken, not a drop Of his blood chilled, and now, as at first, his resolution is to destroy or be destroyed. Imprisonment will but give him ample leisure to grind his weapons, and train his body for another and more decisive encounter.

Book Description
The divide between science and religion has its roots in the early modern period. In the first part, the popular talk of oracles of reason is traced back to the ancient oracles published in the 15th century, and it is shown how this led to the emergence of a "natural" theology that does without revelation, so that eventually reference to a divine creator seems superfluous. In the second part, using the concept of the cosmos, it is shown that mathematics, especially geometry, has been part of the theological interpretation of Creation since the Middle Ages. From this developed the concept of transcendence as rooted in human thought. Therefore, cosmos, creation, and humanity, which are mutually exclusive, form a unity of complementary elements.
Teeth and Talons Whetted for Slaughter

Book Description
Is a life cycle that depends on eating or being eaten compatible with a creation in which 'the heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork'? Are animal death and extinction manifestations of a good God's majesty and power? When creating the world, did God use animal death and extinction as a means to realize his intentions? This study challenges the view that the emergence and acceptance of the theory of evolution brought a break in thinking about animal suffering in a good creation. Even before Darwin, people thought about animal suffering, about how God's goodness and good creation related to this, and about whether animals were already subject to death in paradise. Historically, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution did not form a watershed in the debate about animal suffering, nor did concerns about animal suffering only emerge with the Darwinian theory of evolution.
Reason, the Only Oracle of Man; Or, A Compendius System of Natural Religion

Book Description
The author of this book Ethan Allen was a deist. Deists believe that God created the universe and then just set it running as part of his grand plan, a plan in which humanity is but an insignificant player. In this book, Allen speaks that everything in the universe is a part of a complex chain of cause and effect. Allen denies all supernatural occurrences because they don't belong to this chain of cause and effect. Yet, in this book, he also expresses a belief in mankind's free will. He asserts that the universe knows no good or evil but rather is indifferent to mankind's conceptions of morality. The most interesting passages of the book are inspired by the discoveries of the 16th-century Italian heretic Giordano Bruno who proposes that the universe contains myriad worlds, perhaps populated by a variety of life forms. Allen asks why then God would bother to cater specifically to our petty needs.
