Sinopsis
Excerpt from Evolution an Investigation and a Criticism
This treatise issued from the press in May, 1921, and was accorded an exceedingly cordial reception by the reviewers, both in Lutheran journals of every Synodical connection and in the organs of other Christian denomina tions. During the'past six months the discussion of evolution has entered the forefront of interest among the American people, and the monthly magazines and Sunday papers, quickly sensing the popular demand, have printed countless articles and editorials on the subject. It was fortunate for our book that it found a market so well prepared for it. The publisher has now requested that the text be revised and brought up-to-date wherever necessary, as a second edition is about to issue. Aside from the correction of a few typographical errors no changes have been made in the text matter. However, an index of subjects and authors has been added and in an appendix the most recent phase of the controversy has received attention.

Excerpt from Evolution an Investigation and a Criticism
I first read Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" in the library of my sainted uncle, John Schaller, at New Ulm, Minnesota, in 1892. I did not comprehend all of it then, a cause, to me, of considerable chagrin, for which I later found some consolation in the opinion of Dr. Frederick Lynch, who pronounces Darwin's epochal work "one of the two most difficult books in the English language." But like many others, I understood enough of Darwin's book to catch glimpses of the grandeur of the conception which underlies its argumentation. It was then that my beloved uncle, out of that wide and accurate reading which so frequently astonished his friends, and with that penetrating dialectic of his, opened my eyes to certain fallacies in Darwin's argument, especially to the fatal weakness of the chapter on Instinct. The reading of St. George Mivart's book "The Genesis of Species" later convinced me of the accuracy of my uncle's judgment. But the fascination of the subject persisted, and for a time Herbert Spencer's "Synthetic Philosophy," by the comprehensiveness of its induction and its vast array of data, exercised its thrall.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. The evolution versus creation debate gains insight from this analysis of the evolutionary hypothesis. Drawing on both scientific and historical research, this book investigates the origins of life from the standpoints of religion, the theory of evolution, and the wider contexts of science, philosophy, and society at large. The author provides a critical examination of the fossil record, embryological development, and even disease prevalence in the ongoing evolutionary debate. A study of the Nebular Hypothesis joins this discussion, providing a perspective on the universe's origins. While the evolutionary hypothesis has been used to challenge religious dogma, the author reconciles these two worldviews through presenting a detailed exploration of the ideas behind evolution and creation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330286593_0
