The story told in the Pentateuch of the miraculous pres- ervation of Moses in a basket on the Nile is but a copy of the stories told of Cyrus by Herodotus; of Romulus by Livy; of Sargon in the inscriptions; of Suetonius by Au- gustus, the first Roman emperor. We might go on adding pagan miracles without num- ber, running parallel with those told by the Jews, and of Christ by the Christians. Digitized by VjOOQ IC And Christian Mythology. 167 And we may here say that these pagan miracles come dow...n to us just as weir authenticated and supported as do those told in the Bible. They rest upon the same founda- tion, supported by the same class of evidence; and that foundation is a myth. The Jews and Christians undoubt- edly found it easier to borrow and select from a large stock of old, stale, well-believed pagan miracles, than to invent new ones. The Christian mythologians, being forced by the abun- dance of evidence to admit that all the religions of the world, like their own, claim to rest on divine revelations, finally fall back on borrowed miracles as a dernier resort to sustain a crumbling fabric.
