Fallen Star or the History of a False Religion and a Dissertation on the Origin of Evil is a book written by E. L. Bulwer. The book is a work of fiction that explores the history of a false religion and the origin of evil. The story is set in a fictional world where a false religion has taken hold and is spreading rapidly. The protagonist of the story is a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about the religion and its origins. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a wise old man, a beautiful woman, and a group of rebels who are fighting against the religion. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is a narrative of the protagonist's journey, while the second part is a dissertation on the origin of evil. In this dissertation, Bulwer explores the philosophical and theological implications of evil and argues that it is a necessary part of the human experience. Overall, Fallen Star or the History of a False Religion and a Dissertation on the Origin of Evil is a thought-provoking and engaging work of fiction that explores complex philosophical and theological themes.The author has shown how easily religion's votaries were ensnared, deceived, and mentally bound in a labyrinth of falsehood and error. The history of the origin of one religion will, with slight alterations, serve to describe them all. Their claim to credence rests on the exhibition of miracles which are a violation of the laws of nature. If religions were founded on the demonstrated truths of science, there would be no mystery, no supernaturalism, no miracles, no skepticism, no false religion. We would have only verified truths and demonstrated facts for the basis of our belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy
<p><em>Theism and Atheism: Opposing Arguments in Philosophy</em> is a peer-reviewed, academic volume that has two separate editors in chief, with their respective editorial boards. The atheism side is led by Graham Oppy (Australian philosopher, Monash University). The theism side is led by Joseph Koterski, S.J. (American philosopher, Fordham University) and includes Christian, Jewish, and Muslim philosophers. <p/><br>The two editorial boards worked together to identify twenty key topics in philosophical debates regarding arguments for and against the existence of God (e.g., Religious Experience, Miracles, Our Universe, Human Beings, Science, Religious Diversity, etc.). The single volume is composed of forty total chapters. The format is such that an author taking the side of theism composes a chapter on a topic, followed by an atheism author covering the same topic (e.g., Miracles: Theism followed by Miracles: Atheism).<br> <p/>The title presents complex philosophical counter perspectives in a lucid manner. It grapples with issues that have occupied philosophers for more than two millennia. These include the sufficiency/insufficiency of an empirical explanation for the existence of the universe&#x3b; the capacity/incapacity of the empirical sciences to draw conclusions about a possible infinite being&#x3b; the validity/invalidity of philosophical arguments regarding the existence of an infinite being&#x3b; various notions of infinity&#x3b; the problem of evil, and so on. </p>
