It finds the statement unthinkable, and contrary to all the laws of thought. It is true that the Reason is compelled to accept as a final truth, many things that it cannot understand by reason of its finitude --- but this is not one of them. There is no logical necessity for the Reason to accept any such conception as this --- there is no warrant in the Reason for any such theory, idea or conclusion. Let us stop here, for a moment, and examine into this difference --- it may help us to think clearer, hereafter.
