The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Although the Babylonian account may have had some foundation in fact,
from a tradition of a prior revelation, it plainly bears the marks of
error. “The Babylonian stories of creation are full of grotesque and
polytheistic ideas, while those of the Bible speak only of the one
living and true God.” “All things,” the Babylonian legend says, “were
produced at the first from Tiamat.” “The gods came into being in long
succession, but, at length, enmity arose between them and Tiamat, who
created monsters to oppose them. Merodach, a solar deity, vanquished
Tiamat, cut her body in two, and with one-half of it made a firmament
supporting the upper waters in the sky, etc., etc.” The Babylonian
gods, like even those of the classics, were criminals fit only for
prison or death.
Alfred Russell Wallace, who, with Darwin, devised the evolution theory,
says: “There must have been three interpositions of a Divine and
supernatural power to account for things as they are: _the agreement of
science with Genesis is very striking_: There is a gulf between matter
and nothing; one between life and the non-living; and a third between
man and the lower creation; and science can not bridge them!”
This “striking agreement” between science and Genesis I, is shown by
the fact that at least 11 great events are enumerated in the same order
as claimed by modern science: 1. The earth was “waste and void”; 2.
“Darkness was upon the face of the deep”; 3. Light appears; 4. A
clearing expanse, or firmament; 5. The elevation of the land and the
formation of the seas; 6. Grass, herbs and fruit trees appear; 7. The
sun, moon and stars _appear_; 8. Marine animals were created; 9.
“Winged fowls” were created; 10. Land animals were created; 11. Man was
created.
The chance of guessing the exact order of these 11 great events is
ascertained by the law of permutations-the product of the numbers from
1 to 11, which is 39,916,800. Therefore, Moses had one chance out of
39,916,800 to guess the correct order of these 11 great events, as
revealed both by science and revelation. If, for example, the first 11
letters of the alphabet were arranged in some unknown miscellaneous
order, any one would have but one chance out of 39,916,800 to guess the
order. If Moses did not have the order revealed to him, he never could
have guessed it. Therefore, he was inspired and was told the order.
This mathematical demonstration annihilates the contradicting theory of
evolution. At once it proves that the account was divinely inspired,
and man came by special creation and not by evolution. The fact that
the language of Genesis is in remarkable harmony with all proven modern
scientific theories, and manifestly confirmed by them, is a proof in
favor of the creation story, decisive and final.
