ORIGIN OF MANKIND. DR. TALMAGE PINS HIS FAITH TO THE DIVINE ACCOUNT. Evolntion Io Infidelity Attempt to O»l- VRnire nn Old IfeAtlien Doctrine Into Life—Scientific Almardities to Drive Out God and the Bible. JCopyright, IR9B, by American Press Asso ciation.! Washington, Aug. 21.—The question of human origin, ho prominent now in scien tific and religion- circles, Is discussed in characteristic style by Dr. Talmage in this discourse, in which he also advocates the theory that all the world's progress has coino through Christianity; text, I Tim othy vi, 20, “O Timothy, kc< p that which U committed to thy trust, avoiding oppo sltlonH of science falsely, ho called!” There is no contest between genuine science and revelation. The same God who by the hand of prophet wrote on parchment, by the hand of the storm wrote on the r<x:k. The Isst tehwcoixts and mi croscope* and electric batteries ami philo sophical apparatus Ixdorig to Christian universities. Who gave uh magnetic teleg raphy? Professor Morse, a Christian. Who swung the lightnings under the sen, cabling the continents together? Cyrus W. Field, the Christian. Who discovered the aninsthetical pro)>ertics of chloroform, doing more for the relief of human pain than any man that ever lived, driving back nine-tenths of the horrors of surgery? James Y. Simpson of Edinburgh, as emi nent for piety as for science, on weekdays in the university lecturing on profoundest Scientific subjects and on Sabbaths preach ing the gosjxdof Jesus Christ to the masses of Edinburgh. I saw the universities of that city drajxd in mourning for his death, and I heard his eulogy pronounced, by the destitute jiopulationsof theCowgato. Sci ence and revelation are the bass and so prano of the same tune. The whole world will yet acknowledge the complete har inony, but Isitwecn what my text descrilies as science, falsely so called, and revelation there is an uncompromising war, and one or the other must go under. At the present time the air is filled with social and platform and pulpit talk about evolution, and it is high time that the people who have not time to make inves tigation for themselves understand that evolution, in the first place, is up and down, out and out infidelity; in the sec ond place, It is cont rary to the facts of sci ence ami, in the third place, that it is brutalizing In its tendencies. I do not argue t hat this is a genuine book, I do not say that the Bible is wort hy of any kind of credence—those are subjects for other Sabbaths— but I want you to understand that Thomas Paine and Hume and Vol taire no more thoroughly disbelieved the Holy Scriptures than do all the leading scientists who believe in evolution. And when 1 say scientists of course I do not mean literary men or theologians who in essay or in sermon and without giving their life to scientific investigation look at the subject, on this side or that. By scien tists I mean those who have a specialty in that direction and who through zoological garden and aquarium and astronomical observatory give their life to the study of the physical earth, its plants and its ani mals and the regions beyond so far as op tical instruments have explored them. 1 put upon the witness stand living and dead the leading evolutionists —Ernst Heckel, John Stout Mill, Huxley, Tyn dall, Darwin, Spencer On the witness stand, ye men of science, living and dead, answer these questions: Do you believe the Holy Scriptures? No. Ami so they say all. Do you believe the Bible story of Adam and Evo in the garden of Eden? No. And so they say all. Do you believe the miracles of the Old and New Testa nient.s? No. Ami s<> they say all. Do you believe that, Jesus < 'liri.T died to save the nations? No. And so they say all. Do you believe in the regoi.er.it ing power of the Holy Ghost? No. t id so they say all. Do you I>ellose that human supplication <llre< ted licaii nward ever makes any dif ference? No And so they say all. Herbert Spencer, in the only address ho made in this country, in his very first sen tence ascribes his physical ailments to fide, and the authorized report of t hat address begins t he word fate with a big“ F.” Pro fessor Heckel, in the very first page of Ids two great volumes, sneers at the Bible as a ho called revelation. Tyndall in Ids fa mous prayer test, defied t he whole of Chris tendom to show that, human supplication jnadouny difference in the result.of things. John Stuart Mill wrote < laborately against Christianity, and to show that his rejec tion of it. was complete ordered this epi tnph for his tombstone, “Most Unhappy.” Huxley said that at. the first reading of Darwin’s book he was convinced of the fact that, teleology had rcceiveil its death blow at the hand of Mr. Darwin. All the leading scientists who believe in evolu tion, without one exception the world over, tiro infidel. I say nothing against Infidelity, mind you. I only w ish to de fine the belief and the moaning of the re jection Evolution Is Infidelity. Now, T put opposite to each other, to ahow that evolution is infidelity, the Bible account of how the human race slink’.l nml the evolutionist account of how the human race started. Bible account: “God «t.'iid lot us make man in our image. God created man in his own image, mail' and female created ho them.” Ho breathed Info him t he breath of life, the whole story sotting forth the idea that it was not a perfect kangaroo or a perfect orang ou tang, but a perfect man. That is the Bible account. The evolutionist account: Away back in the ages there were four or five primal germs or seminal spores from which all the living creatures have been cvolvixl. Go away liaek, ami there you will find a vegetable stuff that, might be calk'd a mushroom. This mushioom by innatt force develops a tad]*ole, the tad pole by innate foiee develops apellivog, the polliwog develops a fish, the fish by natural force develops into a reptile, the reptile develops into a quadruped, the quadruped develops into a baboon, the ba boon develops into a man. Darwin says that the human hand is only a fish’s fin developed. He says that the human lungs are only a swim bladder, showing that iu> once floated or w< re am phibious. Lio says the human ear could once have boon moved by force of will just as a horse lifts itsear at a frightful object He says the human race were originally webfooted. Freni primal germ to tadpole, from tadjwle to fish. from fish to reptile, from reptile to wolf, from wolf to chim panzee and from chimpanzee to man. Now, if anybody says that the Bible ac count of the starting of the human race and the evolutionist account of the start Ing of the human race are the same ac counts, he makes an appalling misrepre sentation. Prefer, if you will, Darwin’s‘’Origin of the Species” to the lunik of Genesis, but know you are an infidel. As for myself, as Herbert Spencer was not present at the creation and the L>rd Almighty was pres ent, 1 prefer to take the divine account as to what really occurred on that occasion. To show that this evolution is only an at tempt to eject God and to postpone him, and to put him clear out of reach I ask a question or two. The liuboon made the man, and the wolf made the baboon, and the reptile made the quadruped, and the fish made the reptile, and thetadjude made the fish, and the primal germ made the tadpole. Who made the primal germ? Most of the evolutionists say, “We don't know.” Others say it made itself. Others say it was spontaneous generation. There is not one of them who will fairly and openly and frankly and emphatically say. "God made it.” The nearest to a direct answer is that made by Herbert Sp< ncer in which he says it was made by the great “unknowable mystery.” But here comes Huxley with a cup of protoplasm to explain the thing. This protoplasm, he says, is primal life giv ing quality with which the race away luu k in the ages was started. With his proto plasm ho proposes to explain everything. Dear Mr. Huxley, who made the proto plasm? To show you that evolution is infidel 1 place the Bible account of how the brute creation was started opposite to the evolu tionist’s account .of the way the brute creation was started. Bible account: You know the Bible tolls how that the birds were made at one time, and the cattle made at ’another time, and the fish brought, forth alter Its ’kinil. - Evolution ist's account: From four or five primal germs or seminal spores all the living creatures evolved. Hundreds of thousands of species of insects, of reptiles, of tx-asts, of fish, from four germs— u statement flat ly contradicting not only the Bible, but the very A BC of science. A species nev er develops into anything but its own spe cies. Tn all the ages and in all the world there has never been an exception to it. The shark never comes of a whale, nor the pigeon of a vulture, nor the butterfly of a wasp. Species never cross over. If there bo an attempt at it, it is hybrid, and the hybrid is always sterile and has no de scendanta. These men of science tell us that 100,000 species came from four when the law all through the universe is that, starting in one six-eies, it keeps on in that species, and there would be only four now if there had been four at starting. If I should say to you that the world is flat, and that a circle and a square arc the same, and that twice two make 15, I would come just as near the truth as when these evolutionists tell you that 100,000 sixties came from four. Evolution would have been left out of question with its theory flatly contra dicting all observation and all science had not its authors and their disciples been so set on ejecting God from the universe and destroying the Bible that they will go to any length, though it lead them into idiotic absurdity. You see what the Bible teaches In regard to it. I have shown you also what evolution teaches in regard to it. Agassiz says that he found in a reef of Florida the remains of insects 30,000 years old—not 3,000 but 30,000 years old—and that they wore just like the Insects now. There has been no change. All the facts of ornithology and zoology and ichthyology anil conchology but an echo of Genesis first and t wenty-first, “Every wingedfowl after his kind.” Every creature after its kind. When common observation and sci ence corroborate the Bible, 1 will not stul tify myself by surrendering to the elabor ated guesses of evolutionists. To show that evolution is infidel I place also the Bible account of how worlds were made opposite the evolutionist’s account of how worlds were made. Bible account: God made two great lights—the one to rule the day, the other to rule the night; he made the stars also. Evolutionist ac count: Away back in the ages there was a fire mist or star dust, and this fire mist cooled off Into granite, and then this gran ite by earthquake and by storm and by light was shaped into mountains and val leys and seas, and so what was originally fire mist became what we call the earth. Tlie First Cause. Who made the fire mist? Who set the fire mist to worldmaking? Who cooled off the fire mist, into granite? You have pushed God some 60,000,000 or 70,000,000 miles from the earth, lint he is too near yet for the health of evolution. For a great while the evolutionists boasted that they had found the very stuff outof which this world and all worlds were made. They lifted the telescope and they saw it, the very material out of which worlds made themselves. Nebula of simple gas. They laughed in triumph because they had found the factory where the worlds were manufactured, and there was no God anywhere around the factory. But in an unlucky hour for infidel evolutionists tho spectroscopes of Fraunhofer and Kirchoff were invented, by which they saw into that nebula and found it was not a simple gas, but was a compound, and hence had to lie supplied from some other source, and that implied a God, and away went their theory, shattered into everlasting demoli tion. So these infidel evolutionists go wander ing up and down guessing through the universe. Anything to push away back Jehovah from his empire and make tho one book which is his great communica tion to the soul of the human race appear obsolete and delusive. But lam glad to know that while some of these scientists have gone into evolution there are many that do not believe it, among them the man who by most is considered the great est scientist we ever had this side of the water—Agassiz, a name that makes every intelligent, man the earth over uncover. Agassiz says: “Tho manner in which the evolution theory in zoology is treated would lead t hose who are not special zoolo gists to suppose that observations have been made by which it can be inferred that there is in nature such a thing as change among organized beings actually taking place. There is no such thing on record. It is shifting the ground of ob servation from one field of observation to another to make this statement, and when the assertions go so far as to exclude from the domain of science those who will not be dragged into this mire of mere assertion then it is time to protest.” With equal vehemence against the doc trine of evolution Hugh Miller, Farraday, Brewster, Dana, Dawson and hundreds of scientists in this country and other coun tries have made protest. I know that the few men who have adopted the theory make more noise than tho thousands who have rejected it. Tho Bothnia of the Canard lino took 500 passengers safely from Now York to Diverpool. Not one of the 500 made any excitement. But after wo had been lour days out, one morning, we found on deck a man’s hat and coat and vest and boots, implying that some one had jumped overboard. Forthwith we all began to talk about that one man. There was more talk about that one man overboard than all tho 500 passengers that rode on in safety. “Why did he jump overboard?” “I wonder when he jumped overboard?” “I wonder if when he jumped overboard he would liked to have jumped back again?” “I wonder if a fish caught him or whether be wont clear down to the bottom of tho sea?” And for threeor four days afterward we talked about that poor man. Here is the glorious and magnificent theory that God by his omnipotent power made man and by his omnipotent power made the brute creation and by his om nipotent power made all worlds, and 500 scientists have taken passage on board that magnificent theory, but 10 or 15 have jumpwl overboard. They make more talk than all the 500 that did not jump. lam politely asked to jump with them. Thank you, gentlemen, 1 am very much obliged to you! I think I shall stick to the old Cunarder. If you want to jump over board, jump and test for yourselves wheth er your hand was really a jish’s fin and whether you were webfooted originally and whether your lungs are a swim blad der, and, as in every experiment there must be a division of labor, some who ex ix'riment and some who observe, you make the exix'riment, and I will observe! There is one tonet of evolution which it is demanded we adopt—that which Darwin calls “natuuil selection” and that which Wallace calls the “survival of the fittest.” By this they mean that the human race and the brute creation are all tho time im proving because the weak die and the strong live. Those who do not die survive because they are the fittest. They say the breed of sheep and cattle and dogs and men is all the time improving, naturally Improving. No need of God or any Bible or any religion, but just natural progress. Not the Survival of the Fittest. You see, tho race started with “spon taneous generation.” and then it goes right on until Darwin can Like us up with his “natural selection” and Wallace with his “survival of the fittest,” and so we go right on up forever. Beautiful! But do the fittest, surv Ive? Garfield dead in Sep temlxT; Guiteau surviving until the fol lowing June. “Survival of the fittest?” Ah. no! The martyrs, religious and po litical, dying for their principles, their bloody persecutors living on to old age. “Survival of tho fittest?” Five hundred thousand brave northern men marching out to meet 500,000 brave southern men and die on the liattletield for a principle! Hundreds of thousands of them went down into the grave trenches. We staid at home in comfortable quarters. Did they die Ix-eause they were not a- fit to live as we who survived Ah. no. not the “survival of the fiitc.-t!” Ellsworth ard Nathaniel Lyon falling on the northern sid . Allx'rt Sidney Johnston and Stone wall Jackson falling on the southern side. Did they fall bii ause they were m t as fit to live as the soldiers and the generals who came back in safety? No! Bitten with the frosts of the second death be the tongue that dares utter it! It is not the “sur vival of the fittest.” How has it been in the families of the world? How was it with the child phys ically the strongest, intellectual Iv the thm cKTId ilie liecauke It waaTnot ~SS Ct to live as those of your family that survived? Not “the survival of the fittest.” In all communities some of the noblest, grand est men dying in youth or in midlife, while some of the meanest and most con temptible live on to old age. Not “the survival of the fittest.” But to show you that this doctrine is antagonistic to the Bible and to common sense I have only to prove to you that then* has been no natural progress. Vast improvement from another source, but mind you, no natural progress. Where is the line horse in any of our parks whose picture of eye and mane and nostril and neck and haunches is worthy of being compared to Job’s picture of a horse as he thousands of years ago heard it paw and neigh and champ its bit for the battle? Pigeons of today not so wise as the carrier pigeons of 500 years ago—pigeons that carried the mails from army to army and from city to city, one of them flung into the sky at Romo or Venice landing with out ship or rail train in London. Look at the great animals that walked tho earth in olden times—animals compared with which in size our elephant is a cat—mon sters of olden times that swam the deep, compared with which our whale is a min now. Conies have learned nothing about climbing, and the hounds nothing about hunting, and the ostrich nothing about hatching, and the condor nothing about flying, and the owl nothing about musical cadences for 6,000 years. Not a particle of progress. And as to the human race, so far as mere natural progress is concerned, once there were men 10 feet high; now the av erage is about 5 feet 6 inches. It started with men living 200, 400, 800, 900 years, and now 30 years is more than the aver age of human life. Mighty progress we have made, haven’t we? I went into the cathedral at York, England, and the best artists in England had just been painting a window in that cathedral, and right be side it was a window painted 400 years ago, and there is not a man on earth but would say t hat tho modem painting of t he window by tho best artists of England is not worthy of being compared with the painting of 400 years ago right beside it. Vast improvement, as I shall show you in a minute or two, but no natural evolu tion. Look at China, where evolution has had full swing for thousands of years uninter ruptx-d by anything except here and there a mission station with this defunct book, the Bible, but through the most of the realm not interfered with. What has evo lution done for China? Christian civiliza tion goes in and builds a railroad; they tear it up. For 1,000 years the Chinese nation, where it is not invaded by the gos pel, has not made one-flve-hundred-mil lionth part of an inch of advancement. They worship the same gods of red paint. Just as always they drown the female children as a nuisance. Just as always they cat wit h chopsticks So in India, so in Arabia, so in Turkey, so everywhere where the gospel has not made an invasion. Evolution Downward. I tell you, my friends, that natural evo lution is not upward, but it is always downward. Hear Christ’s account of it. Fifteenth Matthew and nineteenth verse, “Outof the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” That is what Christ said of evolution. Give natural evolution full swing in our world and it will evolve into two hemispheres of crime, two hemispheres of penitentiary, two hem ispheres of lazaretto, two hemispheres of brothel. New York Tombs, Moyamensing prison, Philadelphia Seven Dials, London and Cowgate, Edinburgh, only festering carbuncles on the face and neck of natural evolution. See what the Bible says about the heart and then what evolution says about the heart. Evolution says, “Better and better and better gets the heart hy natural improvement.” The Bible says: “The heart is deceitful above all things and despei-ately wicked. Who can know it?” When you can evolve fragrance from malodor, and can evolve an oratorio from a buzzsaw, and can evolve fall pippins from a basket of decayed crab apples, then you can by natural evolution from the human heart develop goodness. Ah, my friends, natural evolution is always downward; it is never upward. What is remarkable about this thing is it is all the time developing its dishonesty. In our day it is ascribing this evolution to Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin. It is a dishonesty. Evolution was known and advocated hundreds of years before these gentlemen began to be evolved. The Phoenicians thousands of years ago de clared that tho human race wabbled out of tho mud. Democritus, who lived 460 years before Christ— that— knew this doctrine of e\ < when he said: “Everything is composed of atoms, or infinitely small elements, each with a definite quality, form and movement, whose inevitable union and separation shape all different tilings and forms, laws and efforts, and dissolve them again for new combinations. The gods themselves and the human mind originated from such atoms. There are no casualties. Every thing is necessary and determined by the nature of the atoms which have certain mutual affinities, attractions and ropul sions. ” Anoximander centuries ago de elated that the human race started at the place where the sea saturated the earth. Lucretius developed long centuries ago, in his poems, the doctrine of evolution. It is an old heathen corpse set up in a morgue. Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer have tried to galvanize it. They drag this old putrefaction of 3,000 years around the earth, boasting that it is their originality, and so wonderful is tho infat uation that at the Delmonico dinner given in honor of Herbert Spencer some 15 years ago there were those who ascribed to him this great originality evolution. There the banqueters sat a w nnd the table in honor of Herbert Spencer, chewing beef and turkey and roast pig, which, according to their doctrine of evolution, made them eating their own relations! Slicing up their own cousins! Driving a carving fork into their beloved kindred! Dashing Worcestershire sauce, bedaubing mustard over their uncles and aunts! And while Herbert Spencer read a patronizing lecture to Americans the banqueters sat around the table with their hands up, saying, “Dear me, it is the voice of a god and not of a man!” Evolution a Heathen Doctrine. There is only one thing worse than English snobbery, and that is American snobbery. I like democracy and 1 like aristocracy, but there is one kind of ocracy in this countiy that excites my contempt, and that is what Charles Kings ley, after he had witnessed it himself, call ed snohocraey. Now, 1 say it is a gigantic dishonesty when they ascribe this old heathen doctrine of evolution to any mod ern gentleman ! 1 am not a pessimist, but an optimist. I do not believe everything is going to de struction. I believe everything is going on to redemption. But it will not Ixj through the infidel doctrine of evolution, but through our glorious Christianity which has effected all the good that has ever been wrought and which is yet to re construct all the nations. What is that in the offing? A ship gone on the rocks at Cape Hatteras. The hulk is breaking up, crew and passengers are drowning. The storm is in full blast and the barometer is still sinking. What does that ship want? Development. Develop her broken masts. Develop her broken rudder. Develop her drowning crew. De velop her freezing passengers. Develop the whole ship. That is all it wants. De velopment. Oh, I make a mistake. What that ship wants is a lifeboat from the shore. Leap into it, you men of the life station! Pull away to the wreck! Steady there! Bring the women and children first to the shore! Now the stout men! Wrap them up in flannels, and between their chattering teeth you can pour restoration. Well, my friends, our world is on the rocks. God launched it well enough, but through mispilotage and the storms of 6,000 years it has gone into the breakers. What does this old ship of a world want? Development? There is enough old evolu tion in the hulk to evolve another mast and another rudder and to evolve all the passengers and evolve the ship out of the breakers. Development? Ah, no, my friends, what this old shipwreck of a world wants is a lifeboat from the shore. And it is coining. Cheer, my lads, cheer! It is coming from the shining shore of heav en, taking the crests of ten waves with one sweep of the shining paddles.
