Or, if he modestly disclaims mental infinity but still maintains his power of knowing all truth, then he denies the infinity of truth and of God's intellect, and with it the very existence of God. To hold that truth is finite, therefore, is to hold that man is as infinite as God, or God as finite as man, which, in either case, is to deny that God exists at all. In the presence of such a conclusion, the rationalist will, I think, readily admit that in the infinite realm of truths there are, at least, some few his reason does not and never can know. This fact is all the more apparent, since there are hundreds of natural truths under our very eyes which we cannot explain. Who knows the nature of electricity? All the scientists who ever lived cannot trace to its source the power whereby I move my finger. Why, Aristotle, the light of Pagandom and the greatest mind the world has ever seen, declared that his reason in the presence of the all-true was as the eye of an owl directed at the midday sun.
