spiritual ideas people
I don't understand why people insist on pitting concepts of evolution and creation against each other. Why can't they see that spiritualism and science are one?

[A] woman should have every honorable motive to exertion which is enjoyed by man, to the full extent of her capacities and endowments. The case is too plain for argument.

She has, therefore, an equal right with man, in all efforts to obtain and maintain a perfect existence. Frederick Douglass

Ethical religion affirms the continuity of progress toward moral perfection. It affirms that the spiritual development of the human race cannot be prematurely cut off, either gradually or suddenly; that every stone of offence against which we stumble is a stepping-stone to some greater good:;; that, at the end of days, if we choose to put it so, or, rather, in some sphere beyond the world of space and time, all the rays of progress will be summed and centred in a transcendent focus.
