Age of the Earth

WITH the discovery of radium there now comes forward a new claim for the age of the earth. Prof. Thomas C. Chamberlain, head of the department of geology of the University of Chicago, computes the age of the earth as four hundred million years. Other geologists, doubtless quite as eminent, will find positive proof for a widely different computation. After all, the approximate age indicated by the Scriptures of truth commends itself to humbler and more sober-thinking minds.
