Abstract
I shall endeavour to prove the existence of God from the fact that all natural phenomena are limited, and therefore subject to law, which requires the existence of a limiting power, the science of which is not disclosed by the phenomena, but the cognizance of which is disclosed to us by our experience of cause and effect, whereby we are led to a First Cause; or in other words:-Science is the discovery of established order in observed phenomena. The existence of order implies limits effect by ordination, limits imply a limiting power, a cause. The inference of a cause necessarily leads, as we prosecute it, to the affirmation of a First Cause, and this, by a like necessity, leads to the parallel conclusion that the First Cause must be infinite, or, in other words, must be a Deity.
