To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor does he suffer in this respect by com- parison with his recent critics. Take, for example, their criticism of his theistic premises. Mr. Arnold tells us that they are so antiquated that he does not care two straws for them. But he gives us no means of estimating his own agnostic premises, not even a marginal reference to Herbert Spencer, nothing but his mere dictum that Butler's conception of an intelligent Author of Nature and moral Governor of the world is anthropomorphic, a quasi- human ...agent with a will and character. When Butler asks why a tree does not require an intelligent designer as much as a house, he thinks it enough to answer with the agnostic Topsy that it "just grow'd," or has resulted from "a tendency to grow." The theistic proof from necessary being, or essence, he terms puzzling, and would not have religion founded upon a puzzle, but would replace the puzzle with a so-called " stream of tendency making for righteousness," which is no better foun- dation for religion, or rather no foundation at all.
