The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 3a

The Doctrine of the Only Son

The Doctrine of the Only Son.

The lessons of Evolution and Natural Selection are planetary, not geo centric. If there are (per exemplum gratia) canal builders on Mars, then clearly there is a similar humanity there to ours here, as we also build canals. Besides it is monstrous to suppose that of the "50 million star" map page 19 now being made, down to the 14th magnitude, that this little earth is the only one inhabited. The Doctrine of the Only Son consequently fails, for there appears to be no practical way for one human body to travel round and visit numberless planets in succession, so as to live and die, and represent the Creator for a time upon each one, in order to save the different races of people upon those plants. (Of course no mere human unit can do that which is God's work.) No human body could possibly last out work like that. Moreover, Mrs Eddy, no doubt, considers herself "The Only Daughter of 'God," as she possesses the same powers of Healing that Christ and Paul had. But the doctrine of the Trinity is essentially male, as there is no room for a woman in it. Yet are not women as good as men ?
