The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
“The fool hath said in his heart, ‘No God’.” Some translators would
supply the words omitted by the Hebrew, and make it read: “The fool
hath said in his heart, ‘_There is_ no God’.” Others, “The fool hath
said in his heart, ‘_I wish there were_ no God’.” It is hard to tell
which is the bigger fool, the man who refuses to see the countless
evidences of design, proving His existence; or the man who refuses to
see the terrible wreck of the great universe, and the awful chaos that
would result if there were no God. We can imagine only one greater fool
than either: The man who thinks he can get the world to believe, under
cover of evolution, that there is no God, and that all things were
evolved by chance, even though it be camouflaged by the terms “natural
selection” or “natural law.”
Atheism implies spontaneous generation, which is entirely without
proof. Indeed, if spontaneous generation were possible at the beginning
of life, it is possible now, and has been possible during all the ages.
But no proof of it has been given. On the contrary, all efforts to
secure, by chemistry, the lowest forms of life from dead matter have
been without avail. Dr. Leib, of Chicago University, made earnest
efforts to do so. He failed utterly. If nature, aided by the genius of
man, can not now produce the lowest forms of life from matter, how
could it ever have been done? Prof. Huxley filled jars with sterilized
water, and placed in it sterilized vegetation, and sealed them up, and
after 30 years, no life was seen, disproving spontaneous generation.
Pasteur proved that, if milk were sterilized, there would be no
development of life by spontaneous generation. This discovery was of
immense practical value, making milk safe to use. Prof. Tyndall, the
distinguished physicist, said: “If matter is what the world believes it
to be, materialism, spontaneous generation, and evolution, or
development, are absurdities too monstrous to be entertained by any
sane mind.” Dr. Clark Maxwell, another distinguished physicist, says,
“I have examined all [theories of evolution] and have found that every
one must have a God to make it work.” _L’Univers_ says: “When
hypotheses tend to nothing less than the shutting out of God from the
thoughts and hearts of men, and the diffusion of the leprosy of
materialism, the savant who invents and propagates them is either a
criminal or a fool.” Even Darwin seems to be conscious of a designing
mind when he says, “It is difficult to avoid personifying the word
Nature. But I mean by nature only the aggregate action and product of
many natural laws.” A futile effort to exclude God. Who made these
laws?
