6 THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA APRIL 13, 1929 Human Race Is Years Old Priest at Least 30,000 -Scientist Asserts (By N. C. W. C. News Service) Washington.—The human race is at least 30,000 years old, the Rev. Stephen Richarz, S. V. D., of St. Mary’s College and Seminary, Tech- ny, 111., declares in “The Age of the Human Race in the Light of Geolo- gy,” a scientific work which consti tutes the second of the Publications of the Catholic Anthropological Con ference. The human race may well be older than 30,000 years but this figure represents a definite minimurfi age. Father Richarz asserts. “There is perhaps no problem up on which we find more divergence of opinion than upon this one of the age of the human race,” the distin guished priest-scientist explains at the very beginning of his treatise. “Between those who still adhere to an age of 6,000 or 8,000 years, as was assumed by the older Biblical exegesis, and those who are esSSeefl- Ingly liberal even with millions, we find all possible shades of opinion. Thus it is impossible for a nonspe cialist to find his way through this great maze. In consequence many since efforts amongst the greatest authorities seem to them to show that we can accomplish nothing to ward the solution of this problem. However, the situation is not so bad as that, and although there are many uncertainties which prevent the de termination of exact figures and which are the cause of the discrep ancies among scientists, at least a minimum age can be assigned to mankind. After reviewing the scientific steps which lead to his findings, Fa ther Richarz says: “No theological problem is involv ed, it may be added in conclusion. Theologians, even the more conser vative, acknowledge full liberty to deviate from the figures of the old er exegesis and declare that the problem of the age of mankind Is, fake that of the age of the earth and of the universe, one which has to be solved by secular science.” Father Richarz has before him In this study, this question: “In what geologic period do we find the first unmistakable indications of man’s presence?” He begins by pointing to the established facts, that man was witness of the glaciation in STULB’S Restaurant Broad St. Augusta, Ga.

Thi3 last conclusion, he say3, has resulted from studies made by well-trained scientists, “amongst whom a number of Catholic priests, such as Professor Hugo Qhermaier, the Abeb Henri Breuil, the Abbes A. and J. Bouyssonie, Professor F, Bir- ner, are leading authorities.” Easter Marriages McAULIFFE-ERBELDING Augusta, Ga.—Rev.
