 Published in Gilbert Magazine, 8 (October/November, 2004), 11-12
Chesterton’s talk was given in the Cambridge Guild Hall in response to a lecture the previous year by George Bernard Shaw on “The Future of Religion.” These remarks of Chesterton were summarized in the Cambridge Magazine on January 12, 1912 and reprinted in The Chesterton Review for August of 1986.
Chesterton, to laughter, said of this position of Shaw, that “he knew it sounded funny, but it was down in the lecture.” This is what the man said.
Chesterton replied that it was too bad, but that he, Chesterton, could himself say, “I know, I am absolutely certain, that I exist.” Moreover, Chesterton said that the gentleman knew “that he existed.” It is foolish to say that we could not be certain of anything about which we do not have scientific proof.
