All the modernists are evolutionists, and their hypothesis of creation gives man a brute ancestry and makes him the apex of a gradual development extending over millions of years. Modernists ignore the cause of sin, the effects of sin, and the remedy for sin. They worship the intellect and overlook the heart, “out of which are the issues of life.” A Miracle-working Christ Third: The modernists’ Christ worked no miracles. He was without power to raise the dead, give sight to the blind, or heal the sick. This repudiation of Christ’s signs and wonders and mighty works is not because of lack of proof hut because the modernists have accepted as true an unsup ported hypothesis which excludes the supernatural and the miraculous as impossible. The miracle raises three questions only: Can God perform a miracle? Would God perform a miracle? and Did God perform a miracle? If either the first or second question is answered in the negative, an answer to the third becomes unnecessary. As the first question cannot be answered in the negative with out denying that there is a God, the issue turns on the second question: “Would God perform a miracle?” The modernists are presumptuous enough to think that they know God’s plans well enough to affirm, without possibility of mistake, that God would not perform a miracle and therefore never did perform a miracle. The evolutionists regard the miracle as inconsistent with the laws of nature, ignoring the fact that a God wise enough to formulate the laws of nature might have reasons for temporarily suspending a law or for overcoming a law that man’s finite mind might not suspect or even understand if they were plainly stated. We overcome one of the most universal of laws, the law of gravitation, whenever we take a step or lift a weight. If we can do this, why set hounds to God’s power or question His purpose? These modernists, who bow so reverently before the laws of nature, are immodest enough to question the justice of decrees of the Almighty as recorded in the Old Testament, although they never complain of nature’s cruelty as mani fested in the flood,, the whirlwind, the conflagration, the earthquake, “the pestilence that walketh in darkness,” and in “the destruction that wasteth at noonday.” Poisoned by the teaching of modernist professors, stu dents reject the Bible as unbelievable, but they have such confidence in the intelligence of their professors that they accept the most absurd speculations put forth in the name of science. They endow inanimate nature with a power which they withhold from the Creator; they cannot believe, even upon the authority of the Bible, that the Creator made man by separate act in His own image, but they can believe without proof that man has developed by the operation of “resident forces” through a ir the lower forms of life from an invisible germ up to his present perfection. They think it monstrous that the sins of the parent should be visited on the children, but they do not complain when' a Pennsyl vania professor tells his audience that the people ■ of this generation dream of falling because their ancestors fell out of trees fifty thousand y earsago. More precious time has been squandered by the modernists in idle speculation, sug gested by the evolutionary hypothesis, than any other people have ever squandered in any. other way. While some of them busy themselves trying to clothe the bodies of our remote ancestors with hair, others (see a recent prediction of a Harvard professor) are telling us that seventy-five thousand years from now man will be baldheaded and with out teeth— and they recommend no hair tonic or tooth
