The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Who can say that God does not intervene, in this case, to save all
life? It is a striking proof that God is not absent nor inactive.
Gravitation requires the computation of countless millions of the most
complex and difficult problems, every instant, by the divine mind. The
attraction of all matter for all other matter is in proportion directly
to the mass and inversely to the square of the distance. The exact
weight of every object is determined by the attraction of the earth and
every particle thereof, the mountain that may be nearby, the elevation
and altitude of the place, the attraction of the sun and the moon, and
every star in heaven, even though too small to be computed by man,—all
these are computed precisely by the divine mind. These innumerable
calculations prove that God is everywhere. We are continually in the
immediate awesome presence of an Infinite God.
Every computation that man ever made, was made long before by a great
Intelligence, that excels all others combined. How intricate is the
calculation of the divine mind, which causes the water of every ocean,
sea, lake, pond, and vessel, when at rest, to correspond with the exact
sphericity of the earth. In the face of innumerable and difficult
calculations,—proofs of the intense activity of the divine mind,—who
can be so reckless as to say that God is absent or inactive?
Not only does God make endless calculations in executing his will in
the material universe, but in the intellectual, moral and spiritual
world as well. We can not measure, with any human instruments, the
amount of mental discipline and improvement, resulting from a certain
amount of study. But God calculates unerringly the precise amount of
mental discipline or improvement earned by every mental exertion. The
amount is in precise proportion to the mental effort. The gain is
definite, exact and unerring, the calculation is instantaneous, and
beyond the power of the profoundest mathematician to compute. So also,
the effect of every moral act, wish, desire, purpose, intention or
affection, is instantly computed, and the moral character modified in
exact proportion to their weight. If a man indulges in vice, he becomes
vicious in proportion. If he commits a crime, he becomes more criminal
in nature. Every theft is computed at its proper value. Every good and
noble act ennobles the character in proportion to its worth. There is a
settlement, every instant, and all deeds, wishes, desires, purposes,
and affections go into the character, and affect it in precise
proportion to their weight. Who but an infinite God, can keep all
accounts of his innumerable creatures instantaneously, and have them
complete, exact and unerring? No man, nor angel, nor “law,” could do
it. In like manner, every spiritual act, wish, purpose, motive,—all go
in to make up the spiritual life of man, in exact proportion to their
worth. Not all the mathematicians and scribes in the universe could
