The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Science means knowledge. We are glibly told that science teaches the
evolution of man when it teaches nothing of the kind. A mere theory is
not science until proven. A man does not become a scientist by
advocating an unproven theory, but by making some notable contribution
to knowledge. These self-appointed scientists recklessly declare that
the “consensus” of science favors evolution. We oppose evolution not
because it _is_ science, but because it is _not_ science. There is no
conflict between Christianity and real science, but a fight to the
death with “science falsely so called.”
Religion is often taken to mean deism, or infidelity as well as
Christianity. They show us “where evolution and religion meet,”
provided deism or infidelity is religion, but not, if Christianity is
religion,—an inexcusable confusion of terms.
Law is sometimes spoken of as if it had intelligence and power.
Sometimes as a subordinate deity, or agent of God, or an indefinite
principle. Darwin says:—“Plants and animals have all been produced by
laws (?) acting around us.” That is impossible, since “laws” can
produce nothing. He evidently gives to laws the credit that belongs to
God.
Nature, in like manner, is often used as a substitute for God, to avoid
the mention of His name.
Modernism is a fine sounding word, suggestive of learning and culture
and the last word in science, but doubts or denies many of the
essential doctrines of the Christian religion. It is infidelity pure
and simple and of the most dangerous kind, camouflaged under this
attractive name. Who can deny the statement that the only thing modern
about modernism is its hypocrisy? It is ancient infidelity pretending
to be a Christian view. Bearing the Christian flag, it attacks
Christianity. Modernists are evidently ashamed of a name which fitly
describes their views, and seek another. Infidels have tried to win
under their own name. They have failed. Will they succeed under the
camouflaged name of modernism? Camouflaged under an attractive name,
modernists doubt or deny the real inspiration of the Bible, the Virgin
birth of Jesus, his deity, his miracles, his bodily resurrection, the
resurrection of the dead, and his personal second coming to judge the
quick and the dead. Some modernists reject a part of these great
truths, and some reject all.
Liberal is another term stolen by infidels ashamed of their own name.
They are no more liberal in a good sense than others.
