Dr. Broughton on Evolut
"Evolution-Did the Earth J
Itself and Did a Monkey Make Mi
was the subject of Rev. Le
Broughton, in Grove Avenue Ba
church last night. Dr. Broug
spoke, in part, as follows :
"We are now having much dis
sion over evolution in its relatio
the Bible account of the creal
Many devout and earnest Chris
leaders are making war on every
lege professor in our Christian
leges and every minister of the <
pel who subscribes to any form
evolution whatsoever; some are
ing so far as to say one cannot I
Christian and believe in evolut
"This extreme position, whicl
most unfortunate, grows out o
one-sided view of what the word ?
lution means. As a matter of f?
there are two schools of teach
with regard to evolution.
Defies Science.
"The atheistic evolutionist de
what1 he calls science and holds t
man came from some lower order
animal-very likely the monk
With this premise, he ignores
s Genesis account of the creation. E
rything to him has come through e"
lution, which has been its own m
ter.
"The 'Garden of Eden' story
such teachers is also a myth. Th
, hold that if man fell at all in Ed
it was when in due process of evo!
tion he lost his monkey tail and fou
that he should no longer cling to
limb on a ?ree, but should walk v
right on land as lord of earth.
"Now, it is this form of evolutii
which a so-called history of mankii
now being published in a number
newspapers throughout the country
advocating. It is a subtle attempt
account for every created thing wit
out God. It is not new. Darwin ai
others worked it to a finish. Bob I
gersol made a little fortune out of i
And now one is ariiazed to see tl
press of the present day reviving tl
old blasphemy and pushnig it int
our homes as something new to mai
sceptics and infidels Of our childrei
"Stage is Set."
"Let us have the introductor
word from the writer of this so-cal
ed 'his tory of mankind," and get h:
viewpoint. He says in his first chai
ter:
" 'In this chapter I shall tell yo
how (according to our best belief
the stage was set for the first appeal
ance of man. In the beginning, th
planet upon which we live.was (a
far as we know) a large ball o
flaming matter, a tiny cloud of smok
in the endless ocean of space. Girad
ually , in the course of millions; o:
years, the surface burned itself out
and was covered with a thin layer o:
rocks. Upon these lifeless rocks th<
rain descended in endless torrents
wearing out the hard granite and ear
rying the dust to the valleys that laj
hidden between the high cliffs of th<
steaming earth.
" 'Then one day the great wondei
happened. What had been dead gave
birth to life. The first living eel
floated upon the waters of the sea
For millions of years it drifted aim
lessly, but during all that time it was
developing certain habits that it
might survive more easily upon the
inhospitable earth.'
"From this the writer goes on to
show how the fish filled the waters
and then certain ones of their group
made themselves into birds and oth
ers into reptiles and others into ani
mals, and then wonder of wonders
the monkey made man. If ever mor
tal man faced anything more silly
than this, I do not know it. There are
three absurdities in his statement:
"Was Ball of Fire."
"That 'in the beginning this planet
was a ball of fire, etc' Where did the
planet come from? To begin at the
beginning, is to begin with nothing.
"That one day that which was dead
gave birth to life. How could an in
animate thing become animate? How
could death of itself create life?
"That this living cell, after float
ing for millions of years on the sea
finally worked itself into all sorts of
living creatures and finally into a
monkey, who finally worked himself
into man. This absurdity is too ab
surd to be even questioned. The
whole thing is ridiculous and an in
sult to intelligent beings, and our
amazement grows when we see how
our homes are being flooded with
such blasphemy; and we cannot help
voicing a protest and a warning.
Theistic Evolutionist.
"The theistic evolutionist is one
who sees in creation the unfolding
of a process wr.th God in every move
ment. He taken his position with the
Genesis story and adheres to it all
the way through. He begins with the
first verse of the story: 'In the begin
ning God created the heavens and
the earth.'
"The theistic evolutionist believes
this emphatic and sweeping declama
tion of the Old Book. It is all that is
said in the Bible about the creation
of the heavens and the earth. God
created them all. No method is giv
en, not even a hint of a method used
by Him for this creative work; nor
is there any length of time stated.
He could have done it in a day or
He may have taken millions of years.
"When we leave the first verse and
take up the second we pass into an
entirely new era of the earth's for
mation :
" 'And the earth was without form,
and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face of the wa
ters.'
"This cannot be a description of
che earth as originally created, but
of the earth as it became through
some cataclysmic change, some great
upheaval, resulting, perhaps, from
Divine judgment. It was "then without
form and void, and darkness was up
an the face of the deep. From this
point on, God is at work bringing or
ier out of chaos until we have the
?arth as we have ever known it. How
long He was in doing it matters not.
What His process was is of no con
cern. God brought it about.
Finally Comes to Man.
"By a great leap we finally come
;o man. How do we account for man?
The Genesis story states that, 'God
;reated man in His own image; in
;he image of God created He him,
nale and female, created He them.'
Three times in this verse it is stated
;hat God created man. There is noth
lig said here about the process, but
t i? said?that God created him; and
;he Hebrew word for 'create' always
?rands for definiteness-something
mtirely new and complete. The word
s used in a threefold sense in the
Genesis story. God created the heav
ms and the earth; sentient (animal)
ife; man.
A gulf existed between each of
hese orders. Evolution, without
loubt, worked wonders in each
iphere and still works, but between
hem there was a gulf which evolu
ion could not bridge, it could be
lone by God. Sentient (animal) life
:ould not evolve from the earth, nor
:ould man evolve from sentient, or
mimal life. God alone could create.
Reasonable and Scientific.
"This is the theistic view of evolu
;ion and it is scriptural, reasonable
md scientific, and while war is being
vaged on evolution, let us discrimi
?ate between evolution without God
md evolution with God in all the
>roc esses. The process of God in crea
;ion is of small concern. No man can
logmatize about it. Science does not
mow and the Bible does not say, but
iod's place in it is all important. Let
is stand there. Whatever His method
vas we care not; how long it took
.lim to bring it all about, we will not
?peculate, but we are willing to of
:er up our life, if need be for the
:aith that we have that not a dust of
granite from yonder highest moun
ain, to the finest particle of mist that
loats over the valley at its base,
md not a life cell in animal or nu
nan life ever moved without having
5od back of it and God in it. Man is
is God created him, body and soul
ind spirit. Wonderful workmanship."
-Richmond Paper.
The Twelve Great Women.
Replying to he request of a Chil
ian writer, addressed to the League
?f Women Voters of the City of New
fork, to name the twelve greatest
Imerican women now living, Miss
tfary Garret Hay, ch airman of the
eague, has suggestea the following:
"Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Miss
iane Addams, Dr. M. Cary Thomas,
ormer president of Bryn Mawr; Mrs.
klary C. Bedford, superintendent of
?ducation in Denver, Col,; Cecilia
3eaux, artist; Edith Wharton, nov
?list; Mrs. Raymond Robbins, Amy
jowell, poet; Mrs. Maud Park, presi
lent of the league; Helen Ring Rob
nson of Colorado, first woman state
?enator; Mary Garden and Mary
Shaw.
For all The State knows Miss Hay
s eminently accurate in her enum
eration, although six of the twelve
lames are unfamiliar to it, which is
loubtless due to ignorance.
How illustrious are these twelve
vomen? Is any one of them so well
mown to literature as Booth Tar
cington? Or in industry as Henry
?ord? Or in politics and law as Elihu
?loot? Or in science as Thomas A.
Sdison? Or in education as Arthur T.
?adley?
Has the time come in the United
states to compare the greatness of
vomen with the greatness of mere
nen? Perhaps it may be said, with
;ruth, that woman has too recently
:ome into her own for such a com
parison to be just. Others may say
;he twelve greatest American women
nay never have had their names in
;he newspaper.-The State.
