Among them we meet, in the first place, the noted geologist and zoölogist, _Cuvier_ (died 1832), a faithful Protestant: also the foremost French geologist of his time, _L. De Beaumont_ (died 1874), “a Christian in all things and a steadfast Christian ... which he remained through his whole life;” so _Dumas_ testifies of him in his obituary (Comptes Rendus, 1874). Then there is _J. Barrande_, the untiring explorer of the antediluvian strata of Bohemia. He came in 1830 to Bohemia with the banished royal family, as _Chambord’s_ teacher, and died 1883 at Frohsdorf near Vienna. He was a pious Catholic. The volumes of his works are nearly all dated on Catholic feasts. The recently deceased French geologist, _A. De Lapparent_, was a practical Catholic, and such were the two Belgian geologists, _J. d’Omalius_ (died 1875), and _A. Dumont_ (died 1857), to both of whom Belgium owes its geological exploration. The English geologists, _Buckland_ (died 1856), _Hitchcock_ (died 1864), and _A. Sedgwick_ (died 1872), were ministers of the English Church. _J. Dwight Dana_ (died 1895), the foremost geologist of North America, begins his celebrated text-book of geology with a homage to his Creator, and concludes it by paying tribute to Holy Writ. _W. Dawson_ (died 1899) the worthy geological explorer of his native land, Canada, published several apologetic dissertations on the Bible and Nature. A kindred sentiment animated the German scientists, _Bischof_ (died 1870), _Quenstedt_ (died 1898), the geologist of Suabia _Pfaff_ (died 1886), _Schafhæutl_ (died 1890), and the equally pious as learned Swiss geologist _O. Heer_ (died 1883). They all have much to say about the greatness of their Creator, but not a word of any insolvable contradictions between the Bible and geologic research. As a last division of an imposing phalanx, there are now the biologists and physiologists. Modern biology, as the science of life, has in the eyes of many accomplished the bold deed of demonstrating the superfluity of a soul distinct from matter. Claim is made that it has sufficiently explained the sensitive and mental life by the sole agency of physical and chemical forces, and thus to have removed the boundary between live and dead matter. It is said, further, that biology in conjunction with zoölogy and botany has furnished proof that the wonderful organic forms of life may be explained by purely natural causes, without having to assume as an ultimate cause the act of a higher intelligence; that a never ceasing evolution is the sole ultimate cause,—creation is made superfluous by evolution. Biology is thus claimed to have refuted the old dualism of soul and matter, of world and God, and to have awarded the palm to monism.
