"The hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof" (xi, 6). "The swine, though he divideth the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud" (xi, 7). Every statement proclaims the writer's ignorance of the simple facts of Zoology. The camel does divide the hoof; the coney does not chew the cud; the hare does not chew the cud; the swine is not cloven-footed (bisulcate), but four-toed. "All ruminants have the foot cleft, and they only have it."--Cuvier. "Every one of the four instances or illustrations brought forward by the Biblical writer is necessarily erroneous; any attempt at defending them implies an impotent struggle against Science."--Dr. Kalisch. Scarcely less erroneous are the following passages: "And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls: ... the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing and the bat. "All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. "Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; "Even these of them may ye eat: the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you" (Lev. xi, 13-23). "And the Lord said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life" (Gen. iii, 14). The serpent does not eat dust, while Science shows that it crawled upon its belly before the curse just as it did afterward. Ethnology. According to the Bible, all mankind have sprung from a single pair created by God six thousand years ago. Science does not admit that man is the result of a divine creative act, that all the races have descended from a single pair, or that his existence here is confined to the brief period of sixty centuries. She is not able to tell yet, even approximately, when man's advent upon the earth occurred, but she has long since proved the Biblical record false, and shown that instead of his having occupied the earth but six thousand years he has been here at the least from ten to fifty times six thousand years. Referring to the Biblical origin of man, Professor Huxley says: "Five-sixths of the public are taught this Adamitic monogenism as if it were an established truth, and believe it. I do not; and I am not acquainted with any man of science, or duly instructed person, who does" (Methods and Results of Ethnology). "There were giants in the earth in those days" (Gen. vi, 4). The Bible, like the mythical records of other early nations, represents the earth as peopled with a race of giants. Yet the stature of man is as great to-day as it was five thousand years ago.
