Publisher's Synopsis
""A Reply to Doctors Thomas and Lorimer"" is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll, an American lawyer, orator, and writer, in response to a lecture given by two doctors, Thomas and Lorimer. The lecture was about the dangers of agnosticism and the superiority of religion over science. Ingersoll, who was a prominent agnostic and skeptic, refutes their arguments and defends the position of agnosticism. He argues that science and reason are the only reliable ways to understand the world, and that religion is based on superstition and ignorance. Ingersoll also critiques the morality of religion, pointing out its inconsistencies and contradictions. The book is a passionate defense of agnosticism and a critique of religious dogma, and it remains a classic of skeptical literature.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
