Revelation vs. Evolution OR God's Kingdom on Earth BY Laura Payne Emerson Author of "Laurels," "The Crack of Doom," Etc. ENCANTO, SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (Copyright 1925 by Laura Payne Emerson) Price 50 Cents Revelation Versus Evolution I Introductory The Bible is a book which deals almost entirely with this world or planet, from its creation to the end of the ages of ages, 1.

The laboratories of science have failed to expose the methods by which even a blade of grass is made, much less worlds, stars and suns. Nor has man discovered "From whence he cometh or whither he goeth." The bible is the only reliable source of information on these abstruse problems; not only does it deal expressly with the great subject of earth and its inhabitants, but its author is the highest authority, God; and while the creator has not analyzed each step in the process of creation, yet he has in positive and unmistakable terms given man to understand that HE DID IT. Certain are we of one thing, that is, that his word regarding it has never been successfully contradicted. God spake and it was done. Why not? Man speaks in minor matters and it is done. For instance, the hypnotist speaks to his subject and he obeys. Man wills in human affairs and while more or less imperfectly done, yet it is done. Then it is reasonable to suppose that if the creature can will and it is comparatively well done, that the creator can will and it be done well, even perfectly as he who wills is perfect. Man prays to God, and the bible tells us that his prayers are heard. Why not? Man speaks by radio through 930288 |
