Book Description
Excerpt from Scripture and Science Not at Variance: With Remarks on the Historical Character, Plenary Inspiration, and Surpassing Importance, of the Earlier Chapters of Genesis The fact is, that sceptics and semi-sceptics are, unwittingly or not, undermining the faith of many in Scripture by subtle arguments drawn from the apparent contradictions between Scripture and Science. Against this it is necessary to provide an antidote: and the better fortified our youth are in their earlier days, the better prepared will they be to contend for the truth in after-life. It is not the Christian, but the worldly philosopher, who has raised these questions. But, having raised them, he forces the advocates of Scrip tural truth to enter upon the contest, and to meet him On his own ground, that they may put a weapon of defence in the hands of those Whose faith is in danger of being assailed. I write for the protection and consolation of the faithful, under the attacks which Science, falsely - so called, has brought against the Sacred Volume which is dear to them, and in which all their hopes of happi ness are centred. There are excellent works which have the same end in View; but they take a different course. I will explain what I mean by an example.
