Paperback, [EAN: 9781333871727], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from Man in Genesis and in Geology: Or the Biblical Account of Man's Creation, Tested by Scientific Theories of His Origin and AntiquityThe subject of this first chapter is the origin of the exist ing order of things - the earth and its inhabitants, with the visible surrounding heavens. This is one of the profoundest subjects of human thought. It has occupied the Speculations of the greatest philosophers of ancient times, and the investiga tions and theories of modern science but neither philosophy nor science has yet accurately determined the origin of the universe. The method of Genesis is the reverse of physical science. The latter, by induction, seeks after laws, principles, and causes; but Genesis begins with the great First Cause. Science leads us back step by step to the necessity of an orig inal cause; Genesis sets that cause before us directly in the declaration, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. If the account given of the creation in this chap ter is true, it must have proceeded from God. There was no human observer to record it, and the facts are beyond human discovery even in the present advanced stage of science. It is impossible to believe that, in the age of the world when this book was composed, and among the people to whom it was first given, the human mind should have been capable of originating such a description of the universe. It was communicated by illumination from God to man. The truth of this will appear if we look at it somewhat in detail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
