The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Evolution does not account for sin. Much less does it have any cure for
sin. If sin marks progress or advancement, of course, its cure would be
retrogression. But how can sin be cured? What answer has evolution?
Culture, education, refinement, favorable environment. These are all
desirable, but no cure for sin. Some of the most cultured, educated and
refined, were the greatest monsters that ever lived. Wholesale
murderers like Nero, Alexander and Napoleon, had a good degree of
education and culture. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, who murdered
Robert Franks in Chicago, were among the most brilliant graduates of
universities. Friends say they were led on to atheism and crime by the
reading of modernist books. No doubt, the doctrine of evolution, taught
so zealously in the universities, played a large part.
Human efforts and human devices have utterly failed to cure sin. The
human will is too feeble to resist its power.
The Bible, which evolution undermines, teaches us there is a cure for
sin. The divine Son of God saves us from our sins, cleanses and
purifies our natures, and fits us for happiness and service in both
worlds. Jesus offers the only practical plan of salvation from sin. The
Bible plan of redemption is the only plan that works.
Paul, a murderer, with his heart full of malignant hate, and his hands
stained with blood, greedy to imprison men and women, “breathing out
threatening and slaughter,” looks to Jesus by simple faith, and is
changed into a gentle and loving Christian, rejoicing in suffering and
persecution. He rose to such heights, by the help of Jesus, that he
loved his enemies, and was willing to be damned, if that would save
their souls. What glorious men the apostles became by the transforming
power of Christ! What grand men and women the long line of martyrs
were. The men and women who have blest the world most, have been
believers in the Bible, and not in evolution. Perhaps a million martyrs
have died for Christ. Where are the martyrs for evolution?
Augustine was redeemed from a life of vice and dissipation, blessed the
world with his writings, and became one of the greatest leaders of
thought in all ages. John Bunyan was so profane that the most vicious
would cross the street to avoid him. The gospel made him one of the
holiest of men. His Pilgrim’s Progress has been translated into
hundreds of languages, and read by millions. John G. Woolley was a
maudlin drunkard, intent on taking his own life,—friends, money,
character, and reputation lost,—but was converted and preached, with
burning eloquence, the gospel of temperance and prohibition around the
world.
Elijah P. Brown, a zealous infidel, heard Mr. Moody preach on the love
of God, found the Savior, and became a brilliant defender of the faith.
