Evolution’s Uncertain Foundation
In a "Syllabus of Lectures" on evolution delivered in 1892 by Prof. David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford Junior University, is the following fatal admission, in his fifth lecture:— All the "missing links" not likely to be found. Barbarism writes no history. Can only infer past from present, and from a few scattering bones and relics. If no written records or inscriptions, what could we know of the Roman Empire? A far more difficult task to read the history of extinct beings from the traces left in the life of to-day. And this is all the foundation evolution has to offer, according to one of its foremost advocates. And this uncertain basis they ask us to accept in lieu of the history of the Bible. Surely those who build on such a basis have forsaken the "Fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, which can hold no water." Jer. 2:13.
