The ancient and hypothetical question, Which is first,
the egg or the bird? is answered, if the egg produces the
parent. But we cannot stop here. Another question
follows: Who or what produces the parent of
the egg? That the earth was hatched from the
"egg of night" was once an accepted theory. Heathen
philosophy, modern geology, and all other material hypotheses
deal with causation as contingent on matter
and as necessarily apparent to the corporeal senses, even
where the proof requisite to sustain this assumption is
undiscovered. Mortal theories make friends of sin, sickness,
and death; whereas the spiritual scientific facts of existence
include no member of this dolorous and fatal triad.
