Synopsis

Excerpt from Evolution and Religion: A Parent's Talks With His, Children Concerning the Moral Side of Evolution

And God said: Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures and let fowl fly above the earth n the face of the expanse of the heaven. - Here, too, th most pronounced, advanced evolutionist recognizes the truth of simple statement. The normal conditions of space are not only darkness and cold, but apparently death. Life projected into the purely negative condition of non-life is as positive a phenomenon as light projected into darkness, or heat into cold. Whence that life came, again we cannot absolutely say.

And God said: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth. This would appear to be an admirably simple and compact statement of the crown ing positive phenomenon of creation, when interpreted in its true evolutionary sense of a gradual development. Man, who is to have dominion over all the earth, emerges first upon the scene. He is to have dominion, not only over all the other forms of animal life, but over the earth itself, with its hidden wealth, its as yet unfolded mysterious forces, which are to be subjugated to his will and become his obedient servants. He is to discover and control the positive phenomena of light.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Evolution and Religion: A Parent's Talks With His, Children Concerning the Moral Side of Evolution "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep." - Beyond this simple statement of creative fact, human knowledge with all its progress does not go. Man's best thought seems to admit that there was a beginning, a creation. No matter how many countless ages back he may push the date, man still appears to believe that the universe, as he knows it, has not existed from all eternity and will not exist to all eternity. But a beginning postulates a cause, a creation postulates a creator. Had the universe existed unchanged and in its present form from all eternity, we might think of it as self-existent from and through all time to all eternity. Once the idea of a beginning is admitted, however, we must apparently likewise admit the idea of a cause. This cause man calls God. Light and Heat "And God said: Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven." - Here again human knowledge seems to lend its corroborative evidence. The normal conditions of space are apparently darkness and cold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
