THE BIBLE AND EVOLUTION
Berea

hhb DiDLc ANO ENOLO IlON
The statement has been made that
one cannot be an evolutionist and
believe the Bible. Similar state.
ments are not uncommon, and our
young people are taught that they
must not allow themselves to accept
the theory of evolution if they would
keep their faith in Christianity. Yet
they find, or are soon to find as they
continue their education, that evolu.
ton is accepted and taught by a
vast majority of scholars in all
branches of scientific study and is
regarded by them as the most fun.
damental and comprehensive dis
covery in the realm of science dur.
ing the past century. Our young
people are therefore confronted with
very perplexing and dangerous
question. IF | cannot believe b tn
evolution and the Bible, which shall
| reject" Many have found the
claims of evolution upon their reason
and Judgment so strong that they
have been driven to skepticism, if
not into real infdelity. 1t is the pur-
pose of this article to help remove
this danger by showing that there is
no contradiction between the Bible
and evolution when both are correct
ly understood and rightly interpreted.
Let US consider for a moment what
the so-called laws of Nature are, ana
how they are discovered by scientific
investigation. In the first place, the
investigator observes and tabulates
facts. He then, by the exercise of
his reason and imagination, discovers,
or invents, a hypothesis or theory
which will account for those facts.
He adopts this as a working hypo-
thesis and proceeds to test it by all
the related facts he can find. Thus
it may have to be modified by the
discovery Of new facts, or it may
have to be abandoned altogether and
new hypothesis adopted When
one is found that explains all the re.
lated facts that can be discovered, it
is accepted as true and is regarded
as law. A law of Nature is the
way things happen in the natural
world, and since all phenomena of
Nature are Gods doings, as the fall.
ing of the apple, the growth of veg
citation or the rolling Of the thunder,
then the law of Nature is Gods meth
cd of doing things, and whenever we
discover one of these laws, if we
rightly appreciate it, we are getting
closer to God and learning to under.
stand Him.
The world Of Nature is Gods
world. God has revealed Himself
not in the Bible alone, but also in
His other book, the Book Of Nature.
These revelations must agree abso-
lutely. II they seem to US to dis

agree, it is certain that we are mis-
interpreting one or both of them.
For example, nothing is more unmis-
takably taught in the Book of Nature
than that the earth, with its wonder
full structure, was not created in six
days of twenty.four hours each, as
seems to be stated in Genesis; so
we interpret the word "day" in that
narrative as meaning long and in
definite period Of time, and the ap.
parent disagreement vanishes. If we
find, as the great mass of scientific
people do find, that evolution is
taught in the Book of Nature, it be.
hooves US not to reject either it or
the Bible because they seem to dis.
agree, but to see if this apparent
contradiction may not be due to an
imperfect understanding of what
they do teach.
Briefly, but comprehensively stated,
evolution teaches that the earth has
been brought to it's present form thru
succession of changes under the
operation of natural law, and tina,
existing forms Of life have been pro-
duced from previous forms according
to the natural laws of reproduction.
1t has nothing to say about the origin
of matter, but deals only with the
changes that have taken place in its
form. The Bible teaches that God
created the earth in the beginning,
and wrought all the changes that
have occurred in it and upon it, and
gives a brief outline of the progress
of the work from chaos to man.
There is no conflict here. The Bible
teaches the fact of creation, but does
not deal with the method. Science
does not deal with the fact, but is
concerned solely with the method.
Evolution, so far as its teachings are
true, has revealed to US something
Of the method of Gods work in crea-
tion and some of the laws according
to which He works. Whether it's
conclusions are true or not, they have
no bearing whatever upon the fact
of creation, and are, therefore, not
antagonistic to the teaching of the
Bible.
The teaching of modern science may
require some modification of our in
depreciation of Scripture, just as did
the Copernican theory of the revolu-
ton of the earth around the sun a few
centuries ago. This theory was Bit
terly opposed by theologians on the
ground that the Bible taught that the
earth was fixed and the sun revolved
around it. II We get more correct

we misinterpret it.

Toned people, a large part of whom
are ignorant Of the true meaning Of
the word as used today in the scien-
tific world, is most unfortunate for
two reasons: it binders the progress
of truth thru ignorance and prejudice,
and is more responsible for the skep-
ticism of the day than the teachings
of science. To many people the
theory of evolution is summed up in
the idea that man is descended from
the monkey. 1t does not teach this,
but it does teach that if the ances-
try of man and the ape be traced
thru some millions of years, they are
both found to be descended from a
type Of animal then living. Is it
any disgrace to US to have risen from
such humble ancestry to our present
exalted state? Which is more hon.
orable, to be a wise man whose
grandfather was a fool, or to be a
fool whose grandfather was a wise
man?
Let us not approach the Book Of
Nature with either fear or prejudice.
God gave it to US as a textbook, and
He is pleased at every success we
attain in learning its lessons. Our
faith should be strengthened, not
weakened, by its study.
The writer will be glad to meet
personally any who may have doubts
or anxiety in reference to this sub
ject.

The Senior Play

Owing to the fact that a suitable
date could not be gotten at the Tabb
Opera House the Senior Class has
decided to give the Amazons in the
High School auditorium on May IL.
In doing this they will dedicate the
auditorium as a Little Theatre to be
used by the community. They will
equip the stage with artistic hang
ings, add wings and flies, so that it
will be equal in beauty of setting to
any Little Theatre in the state. They
earnestly hope that the public will
encourage this community improve
ment, and give them a full house at
the dedication.
A board has been made of the
seating capacity and any seat in the
house may be reserved. The prices
will be soc and 75c. There will be a
matinee for all school children at 3
O'Clock, admission 25c, no reserved
seats. By having two performances
they hope to accommodate the crowd
easily. The cast is also contem-
plating a performance in a neighbor-
ing town. ...,.

Mostly those present did not even CONF
forward 10 get the samples.
Because of such experiences, when
the food shortage began to afflict
Europe, the United States did not send
corn to the rescue. You may remem-
Der that Herbert Hoover urged us to
eat more corn and save wheat because
Europe could not very well be taught
to eat new kind Of food in so critical
u period.
Now the situation is different and
Hoover accepted the offered corn glad
ly. About 100000 bushels, it is an-
nounced, will be fed to children of the
famine areas, and probably most of it
will be prepared by the relief organi-
cations, and served to the children at
feeding Centers.
What goes to adults may or may not
be cooked before distribution. Where
it is not prepared for eating, directions
doubtless will be given to insure sutli-
cent cooking.
Good NutritiVe Value.
With adequate cooking the nutritive
value of corn is about the same as
that of wheat. Corn contains large
amount of sugar and starch which
supply the body with heat and energy.
1t also has good deal of protein
which. builds up the body tissues. 1t
is not however, rich in minerals, need
ed in bone formation. Experiments
have shown that corn is about as di-
gestible as wheat and that 30 per cent
Of its dry matter is absorbed in the
process of digestion.
Possibly it does not become America
to be too impatient with the European
lack of appreciation of corn. The high
nutritive value of corn is realized all
over this country and We have been
eating it ever since the Pilgrims, by
accident, dug up some seed corn bur
led by the Indians and got them to
explain the growth and uses of the
grain. Further back than that, Column
bus is said to have found corn grow
irg over here. and the AZteCS in their
