Rarely is the expression of one’s concept of Truth, religion and the Word of God more timelessly profound or majestic than this quote from The Age of Reason, Pt. 1 :
“It is only in the CREATION that all our ideas and conceptions of a Word of God can unite. The Creation speaketh an universal language… It is an ever-existing original, which every man can read. It cannot be forged; it cannot be counterfeited; it cannot be lost; it cannot be altered; it cannot be suppressed. It does not depend upon the will of man whether it shall be published or not; it publishes itself from one end of the earth to the other. It preaches to all nations and to all worlds; and this Word of God reveals to man all that is necessary for man to know of God.â€
—Thomas Paine
