The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
His law is simply the record of his acts. He executes his own will with
exact regularity. He does not vary. Hence, all his creatures may depend
on regularity. It seems like law. The power in every case is the power
of God. Law has no power. The law of gravitation has no power. Matter
has no power. One of the primary lessons we learn in physics is the
inertia of matter. Matter can not move, unless moved upon; nor stop of
itself, when once in motion. Absolutely powerless! The power of
attraction, which we may call a property of matter, is really the power
of God. The effects are the results of power and intelligence. Law has
neither power nor intelligence. Human law marks out the course man
_should_ pursue. Divine law records the course God _has_ pursued. Human
law must be enforced by all the executive power of the nation. God
executes his own will, with perfect regularity; and, by courtesy of
language, we call it “law.” He is the great executor of the universe,
not far removed, but proven present everywhere, by the power and wisdom
necessary to produce the results. These results are found in the
boundless universe, and in the microscopic world. They are found in the
world far below the power of the most powerful microscope to detect.
All the combinations of chemical elements are made, hidden from the eye
of the microscope. Substances are dissolved and new combinations made,
atoms are numbered, counted and combined with mathematical precision,
and with an intelligence difficult for man to compute. No law could do
this. Only a Being who has sufficient power and intelligence is equal
to it. Law has no power, nor intelligence. Water is composed of two
atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen, combined with absolute precision
everywhere. All chemical reactions require computations of an
intelligent being. All nature teems with proofs that God is every where
present. The elements in a high explosive are arranged instantly in new
combinations, each atom taking its proper partners, in the proper
proportion, with unerring precision. Countless calculations of the most
difficult kind are made instantly and continually by the divine mind.
Thus God’s presence everywhere in the minutest forms of matter is
clearly proved. It is a mathematical demonstration. God is not wearied
by the care of worlds and suns, and systems and snow-drifts of stars on
the highway of heaven, and takes just as perfect notice of atoms and
electrons. They who think God is unable or unwilling to take care of
the minutest division of matter as well as the rolling suns, must have
a very diluted idea of God. It is now claimed that the atom, formerly
believed to be the smallest division of matter, consists of 1740 parts.
Sir Oliver Lodge says that the structure of an atom is as complex as
that of a piano. This latest scientific discovery detects the power and
wisdom of God, controlling, for ages, this minutest division of matter,
undetected by the most powerful microscope.
