The Bible and Evolution

WE are frequently accused of being behind the times because we do not accept the Darwinian theory of evolution; but quite frequently we are finding that noted scientists, those who have had even more opportunity of investigation than did he, are drifting away from the hypotheses which he laid down, and which some—even religious teachers—would have us believe have overthrown the Genesis record of creation. An exchange has the following interesting item, which we consider worthy of reproduction:—

Professor Otto, a German scientist who has been a follower of Darwin in his advocacy of evolution, has written a book in which he makes the candid admission that “the gulf between living and nonliving matter widens with every new investigation.”

The old Book stands, and its principles will stand when these human theories have been forever forgotten.
