ability, his vigor and lively interest

most valuable members. He is
the ranking Democrat on the house

Wiley Defends Bible Against Evolution
———
„
Editor of The Courier :
Since the battle of the Law of God and the Law of Evolution has
been j lined, I have been thinking of casting my spear into the fray.
I thought this subject was settled forty years ago, and that no one
calling himself a Christian could accept Evolution as defined by the
school of Darrow. m
I studied Tyndall, Huxley, Haekel, Darwirt and Payne, but found
only dry husks, and under their theories my soul starved, if indeed I
had a soul.
There are two laws of life which are striving for enforcement, the
law of God and the law of Evolution.
Let us lay aside the law of God and accept the law of Evolution and
as we do that we must also lay aside the things which the law of God
has brought us, some of which are as follows:
First; We musi discard God Almighty. Mr. Darrow said he had
been studying for forty-three years and had not found evidence of God
yet.
Second : We must deny the existence of the Immortal Spirit called
the Soul of man. for that is Spiritual; and Evolution deals only with
the physical man, hence all hope of a future life beyond the grave must
go.
Third : We must discard our system of law, for the laws of civili¬
zation are based on the law of God.
Fourtii: We must do away with marriage, and with it, the home,
for marriage lias no place in Evolution. Under the law of animal life,
or the survival of the fittest, there is no modesty, hence women would
lose her Crown Jewel.
Fifth : We could have no Church, and no Fraternal relationship, for
they deal with the Spiritul and the Immortal man, and there is no
Spiritaul or Immortal part in Evolution,
Sixth : There can be no prayer under Evolution, the sweetest con¬
solation which can come into a man’s life, (Prayer) can have no place
in Evolution.
Seventh : We believe, and tne Bible teaches, that man came direct
from the plastic hand of Deity, pertect, then man fell from that high
estate; that God provided a redemptive scheme of salvation for man’s
restoration; and that the whole aim and purpose of the Bible is to un¬
fold that plan of salvation ; but Evolution teaches that man originated
and evolved from a single cell in a jelly like substance in water, witli
all other earth life; that therefore man could never have fallen from a
high estate of perfection as the Bible teaches, hence the Bible is a stu¬
pendous lie from beginning to end.
Now since we have gotten rid of all that the law of God brings to m
in this life, let us if we can, visualize what our condition would be
under the Law of Evolution, which, as you know, means the survival
of the fittest in the phpsical sense.
First: No man could have a wife; he could only have a mate which
he would have to woo by physical force and keep her only so long as
he was stronger than any other man who should happen to want her,
for the law of the animal is the law of his appetite and the law of his
carnal passion, hence if he wanted anything, it would only be a ques¬
tion of physical strength to go and take it if he were physically superior
to the possessor of what he wanted.
Second : It would be useless to build school houses for the education
of children, for without a soul or a conscience, or a belief in the future
life, there could be no necessity for an education, for the instinct of
animal is as perfect to-day as when first created, and under Evolution
man would be a mere animal and would be governed only by his nat¬
ural instinct.
Such a life is horrible to think of, and would be unendurable to live;
but have the Evolutionists no ground upon which to build their hy¬
pothesis? Yes, I think so, as to the animal life, blit not as to the man
life. The Bible indicates a life through the medium of water, and a
further development on the earth, but the creation of man was a special
creative act of God for a special purpose; to have dominion over and
to rule over God’s former creation. This I think is indicated in the
first chapter of Genisis.
What is the evidence as to Immortality? Let us examine some ex¬
pert testimony which both sides will admit:
Harrow Job:
I do not know, I have searched l KNOW that my Redeemer
for forty-three years, and have liveth, and that lie shall
found no evidence of Immortality. stand at the latter day upon
Personally I do not believe in the the earth, and though alter
existence of God. my shin, worms destroy this
body, yet ill my flesh shall 1
SEE God.
Paul:
I know in whom I have put
my trust atul I am persuaded
that He is able to keep that
which I have committed to
Him against that day.
For We KNOW that if this
earthly house of our taber¬
nacle were disolved we have
a building of God. not built
with hands, eternal in the
heavens.
As we write the concluding words, the press flashes the news, that
great Commoner, William Jennings Bryan, has gone to prove the life
beyond the grave, where hope of Immortality ends infruition.
Deus le veut.
