Darwin concerns himself with only that part of man's existence which is spent on earth while the Bible's teachings cover all of life, both here and hereafter. Darwin begins by assuming life upon the earth; the Bible reveals the source of life and chronicles its creation.
"Ye see, Mr Doo, the Bible's lain sae lang there, that it's jist oor ain. And the lassie canna want it till she has a faimily to hae worship wi'. And syne she s' be welcome to tak' it." "Ye gang up the stair for the buik, or I'll gang mysel'." Bruce went and fetched it, with a bad grace enough, and handed over with it the last tattered remnants of his respectability into the hands of James Dow.
I doubt not the author of Man and his Dwelling-Place can hardly open the Bible at random without chancing upon some passage which he regards as confirmatory of his opinions. I am quite sure that to ordinary men his opinions will appear flally to conflict with the Bible's fundamental teaching.
Did ye have a dish less a 'tato less, the day ye sent me your charity I 'spose ye calls it? Och! fie! But the Bible's the poor cretur's comfort." "I am glad to hear you say that, Dame," said the good-natured Lester; "and I forgive every thing else you have said, on account of that one sentence."
To all this wretched state of man what offers came from Seneca, whom skepticism quotes as a moralist? Why, he said: "Admire only thyself"; and when he saw that a man must get out of himself, he said: "Give thyself to philosophy."

But if I depart from it in the least, or am caught once playing fast and loose with the facts, I will irretrievably lose my standing.
It was a Sunday morning institution with them, and served quite the same purpose that church-going does for certain ladies in a more exalted sphere. "I hope the Bible's true," said Mrs. Smelts, with a sigh. "Where it says there ain't no marryin' nor givin' in marriage."
