The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Evolution is taught in many high schools supported by the taxpayers’
money. This should not be tolerated. Text books declare that man is
descended from the brute, as if there were no doubt about it! Laws
should be enacted and courts appealed to, to protect the youth. The
recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Oregon
case, gives strong hope that the teaching of evolution would not be
permitted, if a case were carried up to the highest court. It should be
done. If Christianity cannot be taught in the public schools, must we
submit to the teaching of infidelity and atheism in the name of
science? Intolerable outrage! In New York 15,000 people, on a recent
Sunday, shouted for atheistic bolshevism, and condemned the United
States government. A theory that encourages such a belief should not be
taught. When the people awake to see the baneful effects, they will
smite the fraud to the earth. Protests should be made to Boards of
Education, superintendents, and all in authority. The power of public
opinion should be brought to bear. Two states already have forbidden
such instruction, and others will, no doubt, follow. The Associated
Press, in this morning’s papers, calls the struggle a contest between
religion and science, and thousands of shallow thinkers will believe
that evolution is really science!
We quote from Mauro’s “Evolution at the Bar,” p. 71: “A parent writing
to a religious periodical, tells of a text book brought home by his
seven-year-old boy, the title of which was, ‘Home Geography for Primary
Grades.’ Discussing the subject of birds, this text book for primary
grades says: ‘Ever so long ago, their grandfathers were not birds at
all. Then they could not fly, for they had neither wings nor feathers.
These grandfathers of our birds had four legs, a long tail, and jaws
with teeth. After a time feathers grew on their bodies, and their front
legs were changed for flying. These were strange looking creatures.
There are none living like them now.’” Would any one who would teach a
little child, the extremely improbable story that reptiles became
birds, hesitate to teach that monkeys became men and that the story of
creation was false?
Much can be done by the church authorities in refusing to license or
ordain men who believe in any species of infidelity, or who have
attended heretical seminaries. They should give their consent for
candidates to attend only colleges, universities or seminaries that can
be trusted. Congregations should know, before they call a pastor, that
he is orthodox. Ministers are to preach the Gospel not infidelity.
