Evolution Opposed to Science and the Bible Notes of an Address given at Bible Institute by J. J. Sims 9 1
never claimed his theory was proven. In 1894 H erbert Spencer, th e g reatest apologist for evolution, said: “No sci entist of repute ever claimed th a t evo lution was science. It was an unproven hypothesis,” th a t is, a mere guess. Lord Kelvin, the g reatest scientist of the age, said: “ I marvel a t the undue haste w ith which teachers in our universities and preachers in th e ir pulpits, are re sta t ing th e tru th in term s of evolution, while evolution remains an unproven hypothesis in th e laboratories of sci ence.” Virchow, th e greatest world au tho rity on physiology, said: “Evolution is all nonsense. It can not be proven th a t man descended from an ape, or any other anim al.” Prof. Tyndal, Sir W illiam Dawson, in fact, th e leaders of science generally, eith er deny evolution altogether, or ad m it it is only an unproven supposition. And any professor, m inister, or teacher who pronounces evolution to be a sci entific fact, must know he is— in plain words— lying. Evolutionist Schools There are th ree schools of evolution ists; th e Theistic, Agnostic and Atheis tic. Prof. Drummond was th e great prophet of th e Theistic School. His book, “The Ascent of Man,” was pro nounced “ unscientific” by th e leading evolutionists. His biographer, Sir George Adam Smith, said: rag ‘The Ascent of Man’ is th e work
CIENCE is a system of knowl edge based on proven facts. There is no conflict between Science and Revelation. The
God of the Bible is th e God of Creation. All th e tru e discoveries of Science have only confirmed th e scientific accuracy of th e Bible account of creation. I t has been said th e Bible was not intended to teach Science. The first chapters of Genesis were d e a ry intend ed to give an account of the origin of th e earth , its fauna, and specially of man. Our Lord set His seal of ap proval upon th is account. If Science can produce facts to prove th a t Gen. 1 is not a tru e account of creation, the Lord’s claim th a t He is th e g reat “ I Am,” th e eternally existing God, would be manifested to be false, and Chris tian ity would be discredited as one of the most ghastly delusions men ever lived for, or died for. Evolution is n o t Science A professor recently addressed a m in isterial meeting on “ Evolution and the Church.” He commenced his address w ith the assumption th a t “Evolution f was science,” and acknowledged to be so by practically all the scientists of the world. W hat are the facts of th e case? Charles Darwin is th e F a th e r of mod ern Evolution. His “Origin of Species” w ith its “N atu ral Selection” is th e text book, th e very soul and life of evolu tion, and now practically all th e lead ing scientists proclaim, “Darwinism is dead.” H The keyword of "O rigin of Species” * is “We may well suppose."
