We live in an age of universal inquiry, ergo of universal scepticism. The prophecies of the poet, the dreams of the philosopher and scientist, are eing daily realized—things formerly considered mere fairy-tales have 
become facts—yet, in spite of the marvels of learning and science that are hourly accomplished among us, the attitude of mankind is one of disbelief. "There is no God!" cries one theorist; "or if there be one, I can 
obtain no proof of His existence!" "There is no Creator!" exclaims another. "The Universe is simply a rushing together of atoms."
