Chapter 29.—That All Things Which
the Physical Theologists Have Referred to the World and Its Parts,
They Ought to Have Referred to the One True God.
For all those things which,
according to the account given of those gods, are referred to the
world by so-called physical interpretation, may, without any
religious scruple, be rather assigned to the true God, who made
heaven and earth, and created every soul and every body; and the
following is the manner in which we see that this may be done. We
worship God,—not heaven and earth, of which two parts this world
consists, nor the soul or souls diffused through all living
things,—but God who made heaven and earth, and all things which
are in them; who made every soul, whatever be the nature of its
life, whether it have life without sensation and reason, or life
with sensation, or life with both sensation and reason.
