fNE of th e most demoralizing | features of Destructive H igher Criticism, is th e fact th a t it 1is based on the assumption of
Sir J. W. Dawson, in his “Meeting Place of Geology and H istory,” says: “There can be no doubt th a t th e order of creation as revealed in th e first chapter of Genesis, corresponds w ith the results of Astronom ical and Geological research, in a m anner which cannot be accidental.” Prof. Bickerton, has re cently stated in a lecture in London th a t afte r 60 years experience ' as a Scientist, he has ju st discovered th a t the ea rth is older th an th e sun, thus confirming th e much controverted tru th in Genesis th a t th e sun was made afte r th e earth . Scientists now claim th a t under certain conditions th e earth is self luminous. Another em inent scientist says: “Fossils are not sufficient to determ ine a geological epoch. Recent p etri factions in our present seas are anal ogous to those supposed to be of geo logical times. Fossils, for the age of which 20,000 or more years were claimed, can now be produced in less th a n a century so th a t when we read of pre-historic th is and th e other, we need to guard oursèlves against wild and unreliable speculations, which are palmed upon a credulous world as es tablished tru th s.” This strik ing te sti mony by men of science is a direct challenge to th e Evolution theory, and shows th e folly of subordinating the E tern al tru th of God’s Word, to th e mere speculative theories of “ Science falsely so called.” While fully recognizing th e invalu able service rendered by science in confirming revealed tru th , it is well
the soul destroying, God dishonoring Evolution theory, a theory which th e Rev. S. Chadwick has recently de clared in his opinion to be “ th e g reat est delusion ever foisted on m ankind.” There are several cogent reasons for regarding th e Evolution craze as an u tte r delusion and snare. F irs t: be cause it is a palpable contradiction of the Word of God, which clearly states th a t man was made in th e Divine im age, at a fixed period of time. “Let us make man in our own image.” . I t is not surprising th a t the unbelieving, and rebellious h ea rt of man should re ject th e Bible account of his Divine origin, in favour of a cunningly de vised theory even though uncomplimen ta ry to' himself, and dishonoring to God. Such an a ttitu d e of h eart and m ind is plainly foretold in th e Scrip tures. “Lo, th is one thing have I found, th a t God created man upright, b u t he has sought out many inventions.” Another reason for discrediting th e Evolution phantom , is because its teaching is based on mere speculative theories, and scientific guesswork, and does not rep resen t the assured results of science. As a m arked contrast to th e fantastic dreams and fertile im agination of th e Evolutionist H igher Critic concerning th e age of th e earth and origin of man, th e following weighty testim ony by em inent scien tists will be of special interest.
