Criticism of the Bible’s Inspiration
By Editor
There has come to our table a pamphlet which attempts to disparage the inspiration of the Scripture by casting ridicule upon various things which seems to the great wisdom of the writer ridiculous. The writer starts out in the very beginning by showing his utter ignorance of the Bible when he states there were only two animals of a kind on earth, for they had just come out of the ark. A casual reading of the record shows that Noah took into the ark clean beasts by "sevens." The Hebrews have a dual number, and the "sevens" indicates that there were two sevens. They went in two and two; fourteen of each kind of clean beasts, instead of two as this brilliant writer declares. Of the unclean beasts there were simple pairs. This is generally characteristic of critics of the Bible. Many, very many of them are ignorant of its teachings.
