The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Rev. F.E. Clark, President of the World C.E., says, “The Darwinian
theory, whatever it may be called today, has doubtless unsettled many
minds. A hazy agnosticism has often taken the place of strenuous
belief.” He is in a position to know.
A beloved friend, president of a prominent college, an evolutionist and
a modernist, in a letter to the writer, claimed that evolution is
nearest the truth, and those who believe it are nearest to “Him who is
the Way, the Truth and the Life.” If this is true, how many
evolutionists are more spiritual, more earnest, and more successful on
that account, in winning souls to Christ?
No doubt many have been made infidels and atheists. How many souls have
been won to Christ by Osborn, Newman, Conklin, Darrow, Lull, Shull,
Scott, Coulter, Metcalf, Kellogg, Nutting, Thompson, Castle, Chapin,
and all other prominent evolutionists? If evolution is nearest the
truth, the number of their converts to Christ should be greatly
increased. We await the information, which we do not have at hand, to
see if the contention of our friend is correct.
Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson preaches daily in the Angelus Temple, Los
Angeles, Cal., which seats 5300 people. Often standing room is at a
premium. Many souls are saved (over 14,000 in 1924), and thousands are
healed in answer to prayer. What a tremendous loss to humanity, if the
gospel of Christ had not saved her from the infidelity and atheism of
evolution! She writes as follows of her conversion: “The writer went to
one of the services being held in my home town, by the Irish
evangelist, Robert Semple, and entered the meeting _practically an
infidel, having studied Darwinism, atheistic theories until faith in
God’s word was shaken_. Never will those moments be forgotten. One
could feel the power of God, the moment one entered the building. Such
singing, hands uplifted, faces radiant, such Amens and Hallelujahs,
such power and fervor back of every word that was spoken, such
exaltation of the deity of Christ, the necessity and power of the
atoning blood, the second Coming of Christ, the power of the Holy
Spirit to energize and get the believer ready for his coming, gripped
and stirred the heart.... Never, never, can the writer forget that
hallowed hour, when, kneeling by a Morris chair in the home of a
friend, early in the morning, with uplifted arms, she prayed and felt
for the first time, the tremendous inflowing power of the Holy Ghost.”
Behold, the power of evolution to ruin, and of Christ to save!
Evolutionists are, as a rule, modernists; and modernists are
evolutionists, and are reckless in their zeal to destroy the faith of
the young committed to their care. We select the following 3
illustrations from a single article in the PRESBYTERIAN:
