insinuate, for the very plain and sim
pie reason that the paradise or Garden
of Eden river did not divide into ali
those heads you named. until after 1t
got out OF the garden as Genesis 2, 10
clearly shows, for it says, "And a river
went out OF Eden to water the garden,
and from thence it was parted, and be-
came into four heads" which shows
that in Eden there was but one river,
and that it parted into four rivers only
after it ran out of Eden, and when the
Bible says that God put the Adam man
in the garden of Eden, it no more
means or not as much So that be strad-
died all over the four heads of the river
in Havilla and Ethiopia, than | would
mean to say that your birth straddled
you all over the forks and tributaries OF
the Tennessee river by its putting you
in Tennessee, or that it straddles you
all over the rivers Of the United States
by putting you in the United States.
II your argument proves that Adam
straddled all four CT these rivers, then
| can prove by the same kind of an ar
gument, that God by putting you in A
merica, had you straddle all the hun
dreds OF American rivers, and so your
strsddle must be ten times wider than
Adams was. Can't you Mr.. g.. see the
sophistry of your own inhdel argument?
Why, it's ignorance gone to seed.
T. No, Mr.. g., your so-called science
has never yet proven one single state
80 falsely assert, and the Bible has no
where said the earth was fiat and defy
you to show it. Neither does Genesis /:
6 say, either in Hebrew or English, that
the sky was solid crystal with a hole
in it as you 80 falsely and wickedl y say
and ldefy you to show either oDe Of
them. True the English version speaks
OF the "windows of heaven being open
ed" or rather flood gates" as margin
and Hebrew show, but that does not at
all say the sky is solid crystal with a
hole in it. Your so-called science in
trying to prove that the bible is untrue
has made over nineteen hundred con-
Trajectory statements, too numerous to
even name in this one short article,
and no wonder Paul said: 20 Timothy,
keep that which is committed to thy
trust, avoiding profane and vain bab'
hlings and oppositions of science false
ly so-called which some protesting have
erred concerning the faith" Tim. g.
20, 81 For it is we'll known that scien'
fists profess to discover what they call
scientific truths in one age of the world
and in the next age the scientists will
profess to discover that the scientific
truths of all past ages including those
of the immediately preceding age
were only myths, chimerical fancie'
!, and untrue, and come out with an en-
! tire new set OF scientific so-callet
truths.
The devils in hell have never beef
more contradictory to each other thai
have our so-called scientists. For th
last century our scientists have said th
earth was round, and justsince the 2OtI
century began they say that is false
y and now look for them to say it is
"nollow square" or some other equal
as absurd thing.
!, Mr., g., stick to the truth, and Civ
me something more tangible.
