of modern physics ‘the universe cannot admit
of material representation, and the reason, I

Accordingly, one may say that
illusory trains apparently filled with
imaginary passengers cross unreal rivers on
immaterial bridges formed of mental
concepts.
The second concept, that the world of matter
and energy arose of itself out of nothing, is
likewise too absurd a supposition for any
consideration.
The third concept, that the universe existed
eternally, has one element in common with
the concept of creation; either inanimate
matter with it’s incorporated energy, or a
Personal Creator, is eternal. No greater
intellectual difficulty exists in the one concept
than in the other. But the laws of
thermodynamics (heat) indicate that the
universe is running down to a condition when
all bodies will be at the same extremely low
temperature and no energy will be available.
