The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Can a theory that is consistent with false theories, like chance and
atheism be true? Truth is consistent with truth, but not with
falsehood. We can judge a theory by the company it keeps. Evolution
naturally affiliates with false theories rather than with the truth. It
favors infidelity and atheism. A theory in perfect harmony with
manifest error, raises a presumption against its truth. Evolution seems
to have a natural attraction for erroneous hypotheses and manifests the
closest kinship with impossible theories. This is not a mark of a true
theory.
So baneful has been the effect of teaching evolution as a proven
hypothesis, that multitudes have been led into infidelity and atheism.
Prof. James H. Leuba, of Bryn Mawr College, Pa., sent a questionaire to
1000 of the most prominent scientists teaching sciences relating to
evolution. The replies indicate that more than one-half do not believe
in a personal God, nor the immortality of the soul,—beliefs almost
universal even in the heathen world. So pernicious is this doctrine of
evolution that more than one-half of the professors who teach it and
kindred subjects, are infidels and atheists and farther from God than
the ignorant heathen. And while we are happy in the conviction that the
great majority of professors and teachers of other subjects are
Christians, yet one or two atheists or infidels are sufficient to make
havoc of the faith of many, in a great college or university.
A doctrine so abhorrent to the conscience, so contrary to the well nigh
universal belief, and so fruitful of evil, certainly can not be true.
Small wonder is it that students are fast becoming infidels and
atheists, and we shudder as we think of the coming generation. A great
responsibility rests upon the authorities who employ such teachers.
The answers of the students in seven large representative colleges and
universities to Prof. Leuba’s questionaire, show that while only 15% of
the Freshmen have abandoned the Christian religion, 30% of the Juniors
and over 40% of the Seniors have abandoned the Christian faith. Note
the steady and rapid growth of infidelity and atheism as a result of
this pernicious theory.
Will Christian parents patronize or support or endow institutions that
give an education that is worse than worthless? What the colleges teach
today the world will believe tomorrow.
Atheism, under its own name, has never had many to embrace it. Its only
hope is to be tolerated and believed under some other name. In Russia,
no man is allowed to belong to the ruling (Communist) party unless he
is an atheist. It will be a sorry world when “scientific” atheism wins,
under the name of evolution.
No one has a moral right to believe what is false, much less to teach
it, under the specious plea of freedom of thought.
It is the privilege and duty of parents to send their children to
institutions that are safe.
