Science and the Bible T AST 'year I had a party in research work in American archeology exca vating in the Kings River Country in Cali fornia,” '.says Harry. Rimmer. “Among the party was one young pre medical student who had a keen sense of humor. He never lacked for an answer to any question nor allowed time to hang on our hands. One night he got us all busy translating the old darky song ‘Uncle Ned’ into scientific terms. Try it some time for a g am e .W r ite this line: ‘There was an old nigger and his name was Uncle; Ned’ in scientific language! One of his translations sticks in my mind. He gave us this line— ‘He had no hair on the top o f his head. In the place 1 where the hair ought to grow.’ “ Translated: into scientific language, the lines read like this: ‘He had no follicle appendages on'the cutaneous apex of his cranial structure, anterior to the lhom- doidal suture and posterior to the sagital suture where said follicle appendages habitually germinate’ ! “Now isn’t that a classic way of say ing ‘He was bald’ ? The language of the Bible was and is for the common people; yet in scientific "language a man’s shin is called ‘the anterior cutaneous b o r d e r Tibialus.’ Try that on your phonograph but not on your ten-year-old child. Yet even a ten-year-old child can understand John 3 :16. “ So the Bible does not contain Scien tific language first of all because the Bible was meant to be read and heard and un derstood by all men everywhere. “ Second—The absence of scientific language in the Bible is further proof of its, authenticity.., “ Language is the vehicle o f man’s ex pression of thought, invented at need. We change our language constantly to meet new news of fresh knowledge. We add new words every year. If I have a book purporting to date from 1750 A. 1 D. and in that book I find the sentence
‘He went out to the garage and cranked up his flivver,’ I know the book to be a forgery. The word ‘flivver’ . was not coined until after the flivver was created. This simple illustration makes clear this point—the Bible:, could not contain mod ern scientific-language until modern scien tific facts were generally known. But they were known to the author o f thé Bible .and while ,the Bible does not use ■scientific language, its statements are never in opposition to scientific facts.”
