Lastly, it is said that science at present is unsettled, and therefore it is too early to pronounce upon the scientific teaching of the Bible. No doubt there are questions in science still _in nubibus_, and others _sub judice_, but what of that? Because a science is still not fully developed, is it worth nothing? has it no voice, no authority? It is still doubtful whether some of the nebulæ are unfinished stars, or stars so thickly clustered together that at this distance they look like a “cloud.” Because this question is not fully determined, must we ignore the fact that the earth is a globe; that the planets roll round the sun; that the clouds are due to evaporation, and rain to a change of temperature? The Bible says the earth is a plane, and the clouds a solid flooring; that the sun, moon, and stars are set in the atmosphere between the upper and lower waters. We are told to suspend judgment on these points, because there are problems of astronomy and geology yet unsolved. This indeed is clinging to a hopeless hope; it is the obstinacy of a Gambetta, who finding no help in man, dreamt in his enthusiasm that the stars in their courses would fight for France against the Prussians. To return to the Mosaic notion of creation. The writer tells us that man was made in the image of God—a male and a female. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” This seems to imply an Isis as well as an Osiris, a female as well as a male deity, and no doubt Moses, who derived his inspiration from the Egyptian priests, believed this sexual divinity. But what is meant by “the image and likeness of God?” We are told over and over again that God has no image, no bodily form, and we are forbidden to make any likeness of any creature and look on it as a likeness of God. Theologians tell us the likeness referred to is righteousness and true holiness. But why say “the image and likeness?” _image_ seems to point to bodily form. Besides, Adam was not like God in holiness and true righteousness, for he hearkened to temptation, and if he was “like God,” it implies that Satan might delude even God, and that God might by possibility fall like Adam.
