Sinopsis

Excerpt from Scripture and Science Not at Variance: With Remarks on the Historical Character, Plenary Inspiration, and Surpassing Importance of the Earlier Chapters of Genesis

The assertion, not unfrequently made, that the dis coveries of Science are opposed to the declarations of Holy Scripture, is as mischievous as it is false, because it tends both to call in question the Inspiration of the Sacred Volume and to throw discredit upon scien tific pursuits.

Excerpt from Scripture and Science Not at Variance: With Remarks on the Historical Character, Plenary Inspiration, and Surpassing Importance of the Earlier Chapters of Genesis

In the First Chapter I bring the experience of the past to bear upon the subject, by showing how many examples history supplies in which from time to time Scripture and' Science have appeared to be in irrecon cilable conflict, in every one of which further light has cleared lip all difficulty. From this I argue, that it is in the highest degree unpfiz'losopfiical, whenever new difficulties arise in these days of discovery, to allow ourselves to doubt but that these also Will be cleared up as light and knowledge advance. The ex perience of the past should encourage us fearlessly to carry our investigations into the phenomena of nature, fully persuaded that no real discrepancy can ever be in the end established. The above may be regarded as a meyan'ce argument.
