COMBATING EVOLUTION ON THE PACIFIC COAST By Means of a Series of Scientific Addresses to the Young People of High School and College Age. Harry Rimmer The outstanding agnostics of the modern age are the high school college student. To any proposition sub mitted for acceptance or belief, their automatic response is “prove it.” This fetich is “Science.” No matter what illogical proposition or far-fetched conclusion may be made, if it is advanced in the name of science, it finds a ready ac ceptance. Scholastic blasphemy is the unforgivable sin. The criticism of professedly scientific utterances puts one immediately beyond the pale of possible redemption. When we who believe in the infallibility of God’s Word come into contact with the student body of this modern age, we frequently affirm this thesis, “The Bible and science are in absolute harmony.”. Instantly the response comes, “prove it.” The writer has never faced any student body on this subject without finding a ready response on thier part to the facts and proofs advanced. The only opposition I have ever encountered comes from the erroneous con clusions of the falsely called “Evolution.” With a credul ity intense and profound the modern student will accept any statement or dogma advanced by the scientific specula tions and far-fetched philosophy of the evolvular hypothe sis. In recent years believers in God’s Word have made intensive studies in the sciences which supposedly sub stantiate the theory of evolution, so that when the student of today says that evolution opposes the facts of the Scrip ture, we no longer meekly bow to their statement. In the fascinating and scientific game called “Chess” we are taught that the best method of “defense” is “offense.” If you can attack the weakness of your opponent’s posi tion, you safeguard your own threatened point. We admit of no weakness in the Word of God, which has weathered all assaults for over 4000 years; and becoming tired of defense, we have now begun to assail the ridiculous and manifold weakness of the evolutionary theory. This has brought about the present day apparent contradiction be tween science and the Scriptures. The Scriptures are in fallible and absolute. They are the Word of God. A sci ence is a correlated body of “absolute” knowledge. Be tween these two there can be, and is no difference. Before us now there is set an open door of service in a series of scientific addresses to the students of the Pa cific Coast. In this lecture tour it is our hope and our prayer that the faith of many will be strengthened, that wavering backbones will be stiffened, and students who are today being robbed of their faith in God’s Word and the Christ of that Word may be given the necessary support to ground them in ascientific belief in the Word of God. The writer has been for some time engaged in scientific research, and is bringing as this time the results of these intensive studies to the attention of the student classes. The purpose of this brief announcement is to solicit your prayers that the Holy Spirit will not only open doors of opportunity, but will prepare the hearts of the students to receive the truth that He is eager to reveal. If you have a large student body—either High School or College—in your community, make arrangements for them to hear this series of lectures. Communicate with T. C. Horton, 536 So.
