146 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



mathematics before we can obtain a probability in place of 

 science and theory, which can only offer us possibilities. The 

 combination then of Knowledge and Imagination, both attri- 

 butes of God the Father when viewed from the standpoint of 

 Comprehension through the spectacles of Mathematics and 

 Logic, enables us to raise our imagination of religious inspira- 

 tions and revelations to the standard of probability which we 

 arrive at when we combine the attributes of God the Mother 

 with those of God the Father, and it is the aim and object of 

 this treatise to illustrate these facts. 



We must, therefore, when we have done all we can to check 

 it by Logic and Mathematics, pass each subject on to the 

 minds of understanding and science, which are attributes of 

 God the Soul, to check the probabilities of truth by the wisdom 

 of the science of evolution, history and chemistry, till we are 

 able to prove thereby what nature, in the past, has proved by 

 use to be the undeniable truth of the probable assertions I am 

 submitting to the reader, leaving to them the eradication of 

 any errors in the demonstration, and the proving or disproving 

 of the truth or falsehood of the hypothesis I have herein 

 endeavoured to make a probability by its logical discussion. 

 I can only hope that in time this hypothesis may prove to be 

 more important than the possibilities held up for their guidance 

 in the past, and so possibly induce the public to become more 

 interested in the sciences of evolution, history and revelation 

 than they are at present, and to seek for more knowledge and 

 understanding in the future than they have done in the past. 



Now, knowledge and science may both often be found to be 

 subject to error, for in the mind knowledge is the witness who 

 marshals the facts of the case before the judge of understanding 

 where science is the counsellor or advocate, after which the 

 jury, Logic and Comprehension, decide what is the value in 

 the eyes of the laws of wisdom, and their decision is final. As 

 I have demonstrated in other places, Comprehension is the eye 

 of the soul of man. Imagination is man's spirit of Thought 

 producing Knowledge, and Understanding is the soul of man 

 producing human Wisdom. But Imagination, Understanding 

 and Knowledge are all inclined to err more than Comprehen- 

 sion, which, being the science of Experiment, Logic and 

 Mathematics, corrects the errors made by knowledge and 

 science. Therefore by Logic, Experiment and Mathematics
