First sentence: THE "idea" of a Supreme Being or Spirit, immaterial, and yet able to hear the prayers addressed to Him, first appears by the sacrifices of Cain and Abel in the fourth chapter of the Book of Genesis, the earliest record extant ; though some persons have claimed greater antiquity for the "Vedas," the religious books of the Hindoos ; but, from the great number of parts in them unconnected with one another, and from the very evident different epochs when they were composed or compiled, and the texts which have been so often altered by the Brahmins as political expediency dictated, it is now impossible to know what they were originally.
