Excerpt from Modern Scepticism, Viewed in Relation to Modern Science: More Especially in Reference to the Doctrines of Colenso, Huxley, Lyell, and Darwin, Respecting the Noachian Deluge, the Antiquity of Man, and the Origin of Species IT is the aim of several recent publications of great notoriety to show that certain of the more momentous statements of Scripture are inconsistent with physical truth. And the writers of them arrive at this con elusion under the guidance of what they affirm to be the light of sound reason, and well-established science. Any conclusion thus reached is assuredly entitled to acceptance and, by many persons, that just adverted to has been accepted but purely on the faith that the reasoning and the science are actually what they profess to be, and not, as they really are, spurious imitations of the genuine commodities, the worthless ness of which would be discoverable by submitting them to the test of a scrutinising examination.
