SECTION V. Of the Impossibility of a Cosmological Proof of the Existence of God. Thus the transcendental and only determinate conception of God, which is presented to us by speculative reason, is in the strictest sense deistic. It is very remarkable, although naturally it could not have been otherwise, that, in the infancy of philosophy, the study of the nature of God and the constitution of a future world formed the commencement, rather than the conclusion, as we should have it, of the speculative efforts of the human mind. But when you say, God does not exist, neither omnipotence nor any other predicate is affirmed; they must all disappear with the subject, and in this judgement there cannot exist the least self-contradiction.
