SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE.
THERE are many favorable and unsolicited recommendations coming in for the new book, “Scriptural Foundations of Science.” We quote the following from Prof. Geo. E. Price, author of “Modern Science and Christianity,” soon to be issued by the Pacific Press:— “I have received your book, ‘The Scriptural Foundations of Science,’ and am delighted with it. For several years I have been reading everything I could get my hands on along this line, but if I were to say that it is the best of its kind I have ever seen, I would be slandering it,—there are no others of its kind. I wish there were. I have read dozens of books trying to ‘harmonize’ science and the Bible; but what are they compared with one that shows that the Bible is the sure guide to safe scientific theory in original research? If modern theological leaders only realized and believed the principles you have set forth as to which is the safer guide to follow, human science by the trial-and-error method, or the word of the Eternal, they would not now be calling on us, as they are almost unanimously doing, for ‘a complete reconstruction of Christian theology,’ so as to bring it in harmony with the proved (?) results of modern science as to origins. If they had only been willing to take their theories from the Bible instead of Lyell and Darwin, they might long ago have learned the lessons stored up for us in the fossiliferous rocks. “You have done a noble thing in showing investigators how to get safe and sure theories of nature. And I am convinced that we are on the eve of the greatest revival of a true knowledge of Nature and Nature’s God. For is not our message one that calls upon this generation of Evolutionists to ‘worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters’? And is not the Sabbath, as the souvenir of creation, an everlasting protest against the Evolution theory?” Price, 75 cts. Order of State Tract Societies.
