In this we have conclusive proof that what evolutionists pretend to find as the conclusion of their research, in reality was a settled conviction in their minds before they commenced their investigation, and to which, in their bias, they propose to hold fast, no matter what happens to the evidence once announced as final. The warfare of philosophy against Christian faith is readily explained.
This is a serious blow, if true, to many theories of evolution. The great mass of evolutionists still feel that somehow there is an influence by which the environment produces variation. How the influences of the surrounding world can get down into the body of the parent and affect the egg is unknown. This is freely confessed by every biologist.
But he did turn away from this, and the turning-point is Nicholas Nickleby. Everything has a supreme moment and is crucial; that is where our friends the evolutionists go wrong. I suppose that there is an instant of midsummer as there is an instant of midnight. If in the same way there is a supreme point of spring, Nicholas Nickleby is the supreme point of Dickens's spring.
Bryan, in his last message, said: "Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionship of yesterday and the reunion of tomorrow. Evolution strikes out the stars, and deepens the gloom that enshrouds the tomb.".... "Do these evolutionists stop to think of the crime they commit when they take faith out of the hearts of men and women and lead them out into a starless night?"
It gives him an ape for an ancestor on His mother's side at least and, as many evolutionists believe, on His Father's side also. How can one feel God's presence in his daily life if Darwin's reasoning is sound? This restraining influence, more potent than any external force, is paralyzed when God is put so far away.
Behold, the power of evolution to ruin, and of Christ to save! Evolutionists are, as a rule, modernists; and modernists are evolutionists, and are reckless in their zeal to destroy the faith of the young committed to their care. We select the following 3 illustrations from a single article in the PRESBYTERIAN: 1.
Even H.G. Wells admits these estimates "rest nearly always upon theoretical assumptions of the slenderest kind." This is undoubtedly true of the reckless estimates of evolutionists, whose theory requires such an enormous length of time that science can not concede it. Prof.
If we are to assume, as evolutionists in general do, that useless organs atrophy, such cases as the existence of lateral rudiments of toes, in the foot of a horse, place us in a dilemma.
Darwin thinks and by this he is distinguished. from most evolutionists that he can assign actual natural causes, adequate to the production of the present out of the preceding state of the animal and vegetable world, and so on backward thus uniting, not indeed the beginning but the far past with the present in one coherent system of Nature.
God is conceived first as power and force; then as non-moral wisdom, or cunning, and only in the very latest developments as holy and just and loving. Starting with the assumptions of evolutionists, the theory is plausible enough.
