A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Will Durant quotes from Voltaire’s letter to Diderot, a leader of the French Encyclopedists:

I confess that I am not at all of the opinion of Saunderson, who denies a God because he was born sightless. I am, perhaps, mistaken; but in his place I should recognize a great Intelligence who had given me so many substitutes for sight; and perceiving, on reflection, the wonderful relations between all things, I should have suspected a Workman infinitely able. If it is very presumptuous to divine what He is, and why He has made everything that exists, so it seems to me very presumptuous to deny that He exists.¹⁰
