Account of the Creation.
BY REV. DR.. CLIFTON II. LEVY
row did the story of Creation get iri-
to the Bible?
The book of Genesis, which con-
tains it is called one of the give Books
of Moses" and ecclesiastical legend cred
its Moses with its authorship.
But learned scholars in the church it
self have pointed out that Moses could
not possibly have written all of these
books. In the first place, he did not live
until an age long after the Creation, even
by Bible chronology. In the second place,
the books he himself is supposed to have
written contain not only the account of
his birth, but of his own death and burial,
which he obviously could not have written.
The Christian church, itself keenly in
terested in science and archaeological re-
search, is no longer content with the
simple, sweeping statement that these
books were inspired"
The universally accepted facts of
geology, the record of the rocks" the
discovery of the fossil remains of human
beings more than 10000 years old, have
shown, even in the opinion of many lead
ing Christian scholars, that the Bible story
of Creation is not to be taken literally.
Far from discrediting the Bible, how
ever, these researches have shed new light
and beauty on the high symbolic meaning
of the Bible story, as an inspired work OF
genius.
But, inspired, or not, the book of Gen-
esis was written by human hands, and one
of the great mysteries has been "By
whose hands? How? When? And
where?"
If Moses didn't write the story Of Gre.
alton, then who did write It?
This question has been asked for CEN
turies.
A new and startling answer-or, if not
a complete answer, at least remark
able new light on the subject--has
lust been obtained through the dis
