The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Evolution fails to account for the origin of the body of man. Still
more emphatically, does it fail to account for the origin of the soul,
or spiritual part of man. This is part of the stupendous task of
evolution. Its advocates give it little or no attention. We are not
surprised. If they _could_ show the evolution of the human body
_probable_ or even _possible_, they can never account for the origin of
the soul, save by creation of Almighty God. We can not release
evolutionists upon the plea that they cannot account for the faculties
and spiritual endowments of man. This is a confession of complete
failure. Though invisible to the eye or the microscope, they are
positive realities. They can not be dismissed with a wave of the hand
or a gesture of contempt. We have a right to demand an explanation for
every phenomenon connected with the body or soul of man. The task may
be heavy, and even impossible, yet every hypothesis must bear every
test or confess failure. They have undertaken to propose a scheme that
will account for the origin of man, as he is, soul and body, and if
they fail, the hypothesis fails.
How do we account for the existence of each individual soul? It can not
be the product of the arrangement of the material of the brain, as the
materialists do vainly teach. It can not be the product of evolution,
nor a growth from the father or mother. The soul is not transmitted to
be modified or changed. It is indivisible. The soul of the child is not
a part of the soul of either parent. The parents suffer no mental loss
from the new soul. It must be created before it can grow. God creates
each soul without doubt, and so God created the souls of Adam and Eve.
If creation is possible now, it was possible at the beginning of the
race. If God creates the soul now, analogy teaches strongly the
creation of the souls of Adam and Eve. If evolution be true, there was
no creation in the past, and is none now. This is contradicted by the
facts every day and every hour.
36. PERSONALITY
An evolutionist writes: “We do not undertake to account for
personality.” We reply, “That is a part of your problem. You have
undertaken to solve the riddle of the universe by excluding all
evidence of an existing and active God, and we can not release you
because a feature of the problem may be unusually difficult or
embarrassing, or even fatal to your theory. It is a fight to the death
in the interest of truth; and we purpose to use every weapon of science
against a theory so unscientific, so improbable, so far reaching, and
so baneful in its effects. It takes faith, hope and comfort from the
heart of the Christian, destroys belief in God, and sends multitudes to
the lost world.”
