Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Second Man
It is extremely interesting and profitable to study that period Of Greek thought just preceding the dawn of Christianity to see to what high attain ments the human mind could go, even at that time, in working out a theory of creation, and that among a people who had never seen the Book of Genesis. But there is so much to deal with in regard to mis understandings between science and religion in rela tion to creation, in those countries which profess to be Christian, that time will not permit our dealing with pre-christian ideas.
We will turn at once to the struggle between science and religion as it concerns us in Christian lands. Throughout those countries that profess to believe in the revelation Of Holy Scriptures as the word Of God to man there has been waged the most bitter warfare between science and religion. And the responsibility for that warfare must rest upon the narrow-mindedness Of those who have assumed to be the defenders of religion rather than upon the men of science.
