Preface

The object of the contents of this book is to convey to the mind of the reader a fair idea of the most important things, matters, subjects, religious beliefs, worships and laws, that have an existence on the earth, in the heavens, or in the eternal unlimited infinitude, properly criticized, explained and weighed in the balance of Human Reasons, and deducing therefrom the proper rules of human life while here on earth.

Chapter 1. I here present to the mind of the reader the one thing in which the whole human race has the most vital interest, that which causes more trouble and sorrow and more pleasure and happiness than anything else that this world is heir to, and that is the baby, which I have put in verse and song, "I Wish I Was a Baby." Introductory, Etc.

Chapter 2. I here present to the mind of the reader the fine stones of the earth and what makes them valuable. Their fine polish, the grandeur of their reflections, their prophetic profiles, pictures, and the beautiful colors they contain, makes them pleasing to the eye, valuable in the arts, and as ornaments in buildings and homes ; and the great fossil kingdom is of immense advantage in obtaining an insight as to structure and formation of the earth, as well as all other planets that swing apace in their orbits throughout all infinitude.

Chapter 3. I here present to the mind of the reader how the earth was made. It is now a well known fact that the earth was formed in strata, and it is also a fact that the lower stratum was formed first, and each and every stratum formed on, one after the other, by a gradual adhesive process, and that the material entering into each and every stratum of the different kinds of stone was of a very infinitesimal quality, a mere aeriform dust, and the only way that the material could ever have got into that condition was by hear sufiicient to reduce the material to aeriform fluid, and thence again formed into the stone strata, so that the unforming and reforming is continuous in all matter formations throughout all infinitude.

Chapter 4. I here present to the mind of the reader what causes earthquakes and volcanos, and like causes produce like effects in all planet formations throughout all infinitude.

Chapter 5. I here present to the mind of the reader the human race's first existence on the earth was on the great continents around the poles, probably, over 100,000 years ago, and their progression toward enlightenment and scientific attainments has been very slow, as w^e can fully realize when we see at this date the amount of ignorance, bigotry and superstition of the great majority of the people that claim to be enlightened still existing.

Chapter 6. I here present to the mind of the reader what constitutes the Universalum, or orbit of the universe (solar system), by which I wish to convey to the human mind the manner of movements of the planets and all heavenly bodies of matter in the eternal ethereal space and infinitude, and to more fully explain the unforming and the reforming of the earth and other planets, and the ruling and controlling powers of Intelligence (God) when acting on and through all the

Other eternal things that have a coexistence with Intelligence (God), and to illustrate the supreme plan of eternity and infinitude.

Chapter 7. I here present to the mind of the reader the many eternal things that never were created and never will be destroyed nor cease to exist. Each having its own sphere of action to vie with and act in concert with all the eternal things in all the eternal unlimited ethereal space and infinitude. AH ruled over and controlled by the eternal unlimited Intelligence (God).

Chapter 8. I here present to the mind of the reader, What enters into the live, intelligent human being, and what is the result of dissolution? And how the human beings and other animals come on the earth, and how they pass away and are replaced, and further than that no man can know.

Chapter 9. I here present to the mind of the reader the two great barnacles of the human race, dividing the earnings of the ignorant people, and that mythology, the bulwarks and heavy artillery of all the churches, loaded with grape, canister and doubled and twisted chain-shot of hell and damnation, the great number of hallucinations, exaggerations, unmitigated lies, perfidy and falsehoods based on mythological imaginations.

Chapter 10. I here present to the mind of the reader some criticisms on the fabulous lies in the Bible which, when the searchlight of Human Reason and consistency is turned on these great extravagant, overdrawn fabulous statements found in the Bible, they cannot but be cast aside as the writings of designing priestcraft to overawe the ignorant people, and by such unworthy methods obtain money and wealth from them without labor or exposure. The priests and preachers howl, beg and threaten damnation after death, and the fools, through fear, turn their hard-earned money into the priests' or preachers' pockets. The rod of Moses turned to a serpent; the waters of the sea and river divided ; the Lord cast down great stones from Heaven and the ground clave asunder.

Chapter 11. I here present to the mind of the reader the necessity of destroying the filthy, unsightly, expensive and entirely unnecessary use of tobacco. It has the effect to impoverish the land wherever it is grown. It brings poverty and want to the users and their families. It depletes education, intelligence, stupefies the mind, increases ignorance, prostitution, tramps and hobos. The money that is paid for tobacco, literally squandered and thrown away, would more than furnish all the footwear used in the nation. A thing not at all needed, an unsightly, filthy nuisance, and its cultivation and use should be prohibited by law enforced with a vengeance. I here give the best method and most feasible plan to put fully under control the use of alcoholic liquors, and I seek the cancellation and eradication of all Sunday laws, as Sunday was and is based on Mythology, purely an invention of priestcraft for selfish reasons. Sunday is an abridgement of human, conscience. Right now there is more business done on Sunday than any other day in the week, and there is no valid reason for its beingholy, a great hobgoblin and superlative breeder of hypocrisy, based on ignorance and superstition, and its sacred keeping foisted on mankind was and is for pelf, and pelf only, for the support of priest and preachercraft, to blow off their ancient, musty, motheaten, galore to get the money of the ignorant people.

Chapter 12. I here present to the mind of the reader some facts in regard to Noah's flood. The ancient, bellicose, extraneous, unmitigated, hooknosed Jew liar that wrote the story of Noah's flood was probably the teacher of the liar that wrote all the rest of Genesis.

Chapter 13. I here present to the mind of the readers the structure of human beings and what results at segregation. (Death.)

Chapter 14. I here present to the mind of the, reader the shortcomings, indecent, inconsistency and irreconcilability of all church worship on the earth.

Chapter 15. I here present to the mind of the reader the lost Books of the scriptures. That we are very fortunate that we did not get these lost books of the scriptures, and that we would be a hundred times more blessed if we never had got any of the books ofthe old Hebrew scriptures. It will be noticed that it is very uncertain as to what the teachings of Christ were and is now, and that the old Hebrew and Christian Bible is likely far from what it was when written, and still it is about the most worthless piece of property that any person can have about the family home. In the first place it is so vulgar, obscene and indecent, that it destroys chastity by increasing prostitution. That King James' translation shows to be faulty and incorrect. That the laws of Moses did not come from the hand of the Hebrew and Christian mythical God, and it is there shown why this vulgar, obscene and mythical Bible should be barred from all respectable homes. That Christ was first called the son of God by the devils, and that it was Matthew called him the son of man.

Chapter 16. I here present to the mind of the reader the fixed rules of life which should be practiced by all, as nothing but good can result by so doing. That Confucius was a great and worthy man. And how human worship first began by the worship of the sun, then the fire, and where they got the idea of burnt offerings. How the priest, preachers, church members, bigots, dupes and henchmen claim that every good thing comes from their mythical God, and stoop to all kinds of trickery and pollute history and their own mythical, Hebrew and Christian Bible as well, to prove their claim. How our great people are absorbing more Intelligence (God) within them, and the benefits of the wonderful things they accomplish radiate to the people of the whole world.

Chapter 17. I here present to the mind of the reader that the God idea is of human origin. That personal Gods or man Gods, always correspond to the character of their worshipers. Please here consider the character of the Hebrew and Christian mythical God, who created a world with a full knowledge of its destiny, and then terrifically cursed it because it failed to meet this mythical God's expectations. Then this same mythical God swore in his wrath and was jealous of strange Gods and graven images. Also take notice that right here in the central part of the United States of North America, the most enlightened nation on earth, near the center of Missouri, six miles southeast of the city of Tipton what took place in the name of the Hebrew and Christian mythical God. And this same mythical God is guilty of outrage, injustice and vanity.

And this same God was an all-powerful God. but with many mean and detestable ways, hardening old Pharaoh's heart so that he would not let the people go, and then sending upon him and his people a long list of horrible plagues to compel him to do the thing he hardened his heart to prevent him from doing. Just playing a game of hide and seek with Pharaoh and his people,

Paul, the inspired promulgator of divine truths, tells us that this Hebrew and Christian heavenly father actually sends his earthly children strong delusions to believe a lie, that they might all be damned. It would look like this fatherly God feared his little seven-by-nine heaven would be overstocked, and that it was desirable to work ofif the surplus on his left bower (Satan), the most honored guest at the feast. (Job 1.) This great Jehovah God violates oaths and breaks promises. This same mythical God at divers times swears to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to lead their posterity to the land of Canaan, but made a breach of promise and would not keep oaths or promises. (Num. 14: 34.) This m3'thical God's personal appearance, the psalmist in describing this God's wonderful makeup, tells us ''that out of that God's mouth proceeded fire, and out of that God's nostrils proceeded smoke, and that same God rode upon a cherub and did fly." (2 Sam. 22 : 9-11.) Oh, but that was a lovely God. Nothing but Satan would be suited for a riding compahion.

Chapter 18. I here present to the mind of the reader. The chief end of man is to glorify God, so says the Christian. All such silly twaddle comes from the want of a knowledge of what constitutes the impulse of Intelligence (God). God is perfection, and when anything is perfect, it cannot be added to, as nothing can be made more than perfect. The God of all Eternity and throughout all infinitude is always with you in proportion as you adapt yourself to receive God by allowing yourself to be possessed of an untrammeled conscience and wisdom to absorb the superlative gift to man, Human Reason, which is the open door where Intelligence (God) can enter. Just and perfect reasoning absorbs Intelligence, which in turn increases the force and power of reason to a still greater acquirement to the extent of man's existence absorbing more Intelligence (God) within. Those that seek will find. Intelligence never leads a human beingwrong, but the want of Intelligence is what makes the way of the transgressor hard, and brings to them an earthly hell, all they will ever know. It is easy to be seen that the age when the Bible and mythical man, God, ruled supreme, every person b}" priestcraft stood the assessments of the church, and when they refused, charges were brought against them for witchcraft, heresy or even heraclenite (that the earth was not created) and they were murdered by church minions or burnt at the stake to deter others, and in that way forced them to pay whatever the church demanded. There was no such thing as freedom. All were Christian church slaves. No wonder the priests did not marry. They had more than enough to satisfy the lust of old David or Solomon. But things are more private these days. The confessionals, the nunneries, and a slice off a cut loaf is ''not missed."

Chapter 19. I here present to the mind of the reader that perpetual vigilance is imperatively necessary to maintain in this country free thought, free speech, free, untrammeled human reasons and an infidel constitution ; all of which are necessary for the universal welfare of the whole people. Every human being should fully realize that honesty, uprightness and moral character, when proven, should stand against many charges brought against the accused at the bar of justice. I again refer to Sunday, which was and is now an invention of priest and preachercraft to increase their revenue.. It is a humbug, a great damage to commerce and trade, and the well-being of the human race, and all laws in favor of its sacredness or holy pretend are an abridgement of human conscience, and should be canceled and unrespected by all enlightened people. Please take notice that blind, dogmatic, undoubting faith, not honesty, morality or uprightness, is what constitutes the Hebrew and Christian, and all other, modes of worship. Faith in error, lies, fabulous untruths and great extravagant fables, once the faith in them is established it is just as strong as if the whole were truths. Faith, not supported by facts as measured by "human reasons and intelligence, is a myth in all the worships of the world. Faith to believe a lie is as strong as to believe a truth, where ignorance reigns instead of intelligence.

Chapter 20. I here present to the mind of the reader some idea of Moses and Joshua. While laboring under delusions which they only pretend to believe were facts, they did the most detestable thing in the way of butchery, murder, robbery, ghastly and bloodthirsty deeds that the records of the world have ever shown, and I hope the reader will investigate the acts of these men and the big unbelievable lies that show in their records.

Chapter 21. I here present to the mind of the reader what the ancient records show. O Israel, the watch-word of the Jews. What constitutes a disbelief in God. Allegorical expression allowable, but being mostly untruthful such as applying gender to the many Gods, or the many names for the one and only God, and the priest or preacher's last stab under the fifth rib. The last wail for money. O when you come to die, to meet the wrathful, revengeful and jealous God, and all because you had taken one of grand-pap's watermelons and failed to pay the priests or preachers (the unpardonable sin). Depart, ye cursed, into that eternal hell of damnation, already overstocked with priests and preachers, for obtaining money by big lies and deceptions.

Chapter 22. I here present to the mind of the reader, the teachings of Christ, the standard of faith, who said: *'I am not here to bring peace on earth, but a sword." (Math. 10:34.) Then you must hate your fathers and mothers, wives and children, and brothers and sisters in order to be a disciple of Christ (Luke, 14:26), who was lowly born out of reason and out of season, as there is only one way possible, by the power and force of Intelligence God, by which babies are made, and in no other way; and any assertion to the contrary by priests, preachers or prelates are erroneous lies. Of the Man-God worshipers there is counting old people and children of what are called Christian nations (of which half or more^are not Christians) are estimated to be 300,000,000. Which divided by two equal 150,000,000, and when the old people that have learned better, the children and the hypocrites are deducted, we then get a glimpse of the deluded followers of Christ based on the New Testament compiled and voted in by an ignorant rabble called the council of Nice 325 years after Christ was born in a stable, uneducated, raised and tutored by an ignorant Jew carpenter called Joseph. About two-thirds of the said council disapproved the findings and compilation of this book called the New Testament. The Jews say that the New Testament is not based on Facts, Truths and Reasons, and is a jumble of lies and inconsistency, and all learned unbiased investigators believe that the Jews are right.

Chapter 23. I here present to the mind of the readers the fall of Adam and Eve and the Hebrew and Christian scheme of redemption, which is too silly and unreasonable to be considered by intelligent people. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1 :1). Now this statement is a lie right on the face of it. If there was a beginning it was when God began, not when God commenced to work. If there was a God there endowed with Intelligence Power and Force to make the Heavens, the Earth and all the Universes, and planetary systems throughout all Infinitude, there was a very large beginning already made. It is not possible for Finite Intelligence to conceive or comprehend the extent or limit of anything that is Infinite. All the Eternal Infinite things are now, and always have been, and always will be beyond the utmost limit of human Finite Intelligence. What could God do, or ever have done, if there was no space to operate in. What could God do or ever have done if there was no duration (not a second of time)

to perform the work. What could God do or ever have done if there was no heat to make the work possible. If it was 1,000 degrees below zero, the stones of the earth would not drav^ together by cohesion. There v^ould not be any vegetable or animal life come on the earth or any other planet only as the calorie (heat) comes from the sun. Then again, v^hat could God do, or ever have done toward making the earth or any other planet if there was no material to form the earth or planets out of, and if there was such material it was there already, God did not create it. God did not create space ; God did not create the duration ; God did not create the heat; God did not create the material, as these four Eternal Things are Infinite and have a co-existence with Intelligence God and there was never a time they did not exist, and there will never be a time when they cease to exist.

Chapter 24. I here present to the readers that all prayers are a total failure, never have been answered nor never will be answered. How can the unchangeable be changed? God is unchangeable (James 1:17). I am the Lord; I change not (Mai. 3:6). Just once and a while these Bible writers stumble on a little truth. For the ways of the Infinite Intelligence God never change — the same today, tomorrow and forever. Praying to the Infinite Intelligence God is very much like dogs baying at the moon, and has no more eflPect than the dogs have on the moon. Same as priests and preachers praying night, morning and noon.

Chapter 25. I here present to the mind of the reader that all promises of pra3^ers are untruthful, as the ways of the Great Intelligence God of all eternity cannot be changed by any finite force or power, but were the same in the past, now, and forever and forever. What the Infinite Intelligence God decrees to do, must be done for the reason that any and all action can not be otherwise than in full accord, and in harmony with all the other Eternal Infinite Things. None can be set aside or cancelled. The Hebrew and Christian finite Bible is based on our little finite world, and our meager finite surrounding, while within Infinite Space there exist thousands of worlds and systems of worlds, and Infinite Intelligence God wields Infinite action and control of the whole, with their incomputable inhabitants, likely fully as good by nature as we are of this little seven by nine world.

Chapter 26. The All- Wise Bird of Liberty.— Looking down with supreme contempt for the old Hebrew and Christian Bible, a mass of the most flagrant detestable absurdities, vulgarities, lustful debauchery, filthy prostitution, indecency, and with all its other faults, contradicts itself 144 times. Just a mass of straight-out lying and falsifying the Facts, Truths and Reasons, The Great Moral Way, and denying scientifically proven findings. The scientific and learned people of the enlightened nations are now moved to investigate for themselves. Tlie Sunday has now almost took its last breath. Of the people in the large cities only about one in seven go to any kind of church. The commerce by land and sea with the great variety of perishable freight can not be halted by a false and ignorant religious dogma (Sunday).

Chapter 27. This chapter treats of the early history of our much beloved world. The development of the first continents around the poles ; the first animal life including the human race; their migration as the cli-

THOMAS JEFFERSON SIMPSON, M. D.

Age 40 Years; Weight 210 Pounds mate changed by the great eruptions causing the western and eastern hemispheres. Scientific investigation and research in Alaska, Canada, United States, Mexico, Central America, Peru, as well as in many other parts of South America establish the fact beyond a reasonable doubt, that the human race originated and first trod the Earth in the western hemisphere, and it were these people that give Image Idol Worship and Human Sacrifice to the eastern hemisphere probably before the sinking of the Continent of Atlantis (see page 61) and long before the Genesis lie was ever heard of. Treats of the atmosphere and the amount of matter therein. Treats of the sun and north star magnetism. Gives a truthful definition of what constitutes God. Gives the reason prayers are not, cannot be, answered. Explains Heaven and Hell. Explains Abraham's and Isaac's villainous transactions. Shows Paul's lustful advice, and the greatest villain that ever trod the earth (Moses), who had a negro wife. The Man-God and Man-Devil idea, is the greatest curse of the human race ; neither of which have any existence, as Heaven and Hell are wholly imaginary. A God of battle with bloody sword. The priest and preachers are not posted on science, but have plenty of mouth to roar equal to Balaam's ass. All that is on the earth or in the Eternal Heavens is governed and controlled by the Eternal Things, which must be understood in order to arrive at correct conclusions. A parody on marriage and Halley's comet ; please consider.

The destiny of the human Race Governed by the infinite Laws Of Facts, Truths and Reasons Accepts things as we find them.

The roughest mountains may with luster shine, If from them rolls the golden sand.

What at first would seem most sublime, That babies are to own all the land.

Pap and mam works, hard times to meet. While the babies fret, kick, storm and cry

Pap and mam eat hard bread and meat. While the babies get cream, jam and pie.

Pap and mam get house, stock and land. For which they are proud and can boast,

\A^hile the babies are strong, have the sand. Grab all in sight, and rule the roast.

INTRODUCTORY.

I wish to say, in writing the contents of this book, that the reader will fully understand that before I summarized the contents contained therein, that I had never read any of what are generally termed freethought literature, and what I have stated in this book is of my own volition. In the article on fine stones, I have tried in a brief way to give the reader an idea of what are and can be found in stones, and to infer that there is possibly thousands of other pictures, profiles or outlined drafts yet to be found, and of course the article could be made much more extensive did the size of the book permit. Then how the earth was made could be drawn out to make a book on that subject, but a fair and concise brief idea is what i^ here intended. On a basis of facts, truths and reasons, the earth had to be unmade before it could be made, and if any philosopher can suggest any other way that the earth could be unmade and remade, I would be pleased to hear from that philosopher. This subject is a new one, and, so far as I know, has never been approached by any scientist in the great field of facts, truths and reasons before. On the subject of what causes earthquakes and volcanoes, this subject is practically new also. All scientific investigators agree that the cause is on the inside of the earth, and if my theory with regard as to how the earth was formed is correct, it goes a long way in proving that my theory

S2 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASONS.

of what causes earthquakes and volcanoes is also correct.

The human race and other lung-breathing animals came on the earth about the same time, when there was no land above the water except on the great continents around the poles, and the great eruptions bringing up the great continents and islands, the human race and many other animals survived, and are still here after a great and indefinite time. There is nothing more miraculous as to the existence of man on the earth than the existence of the lion, tiger, cow or horse. Origination, when acted on by the impulse of the great Intelligence (God), caused all animal life to come on the earth, and the human race, being only finite, cannot comprehend the infinite works of God. There is no reason that man, by evolution, should be evolved from the tadpole, as God could just as easy make man as the tadpole.
