CREATION—GEOLOGY AND GENESIS by W. B, RILEY, Di . T HIS theme is one that brings the theologian and the scientist into conference, and compels either an agreement or a division of opinion, ft is (tot the subject of the scientist only, since the Scriptures arc involved In it; it is not the subject of the minister only, since science is involved in it, It is a theme of which both must think, and if deeply, then speak. That the scientist is an unbeliever cannot exempt him from the force of these remarks. The Bible has been in the world too long and is believed by too many people for even an unbeliever to ignore iu h has seen unbelievers buried by the thousands; in fact, it has been the last spokesman at the grave of most of them, and men, either living or dead, can escape neither its speech nor its final judgment. My subject involves a question but does not even suggest an intended answer. How¬ ever, being dearly convinced that truth never clashes with truth, let me hasten to say that whenever Genesis is properly interpreted, and Geology is perfectly understood, inharmony is as impossible as a conflict between God’s revelation in the ages of the rocks, and God’s revelation in the Rock of Ages, Prof. George Frederic Wright, Oberlins most distinguished scientist, once truly said, From every quarter, unexpected light is breaking in upon us from apparent darkness. The strength of the evidence of the truth of the historic statements in the Bible is, therefore, not diminished but rather increased by modern scientific investigation.” William B. Scott, of Princeton University, in his big volume An Introduction to Geology,” says truly enough, In no science arc Lhcrc more open questions than in Geology, in none are changes of views more frequent, and in none, consequently, is it more important to emphasize the distinction between fact and inference, between obser¬ vation and hypothesis. An open-minded hospitality for new facts is essential to intellectual advance.” Entertaining the hope that you come to this study with such minds, whether your text book he the Bible or some uninspired volume on Geology, I proceed to call your attention to the theme as it relates itself to the Order of Creation. This involves a discussion of the first chapter of Genesis, and particularly of verses 1, 11, 24 and 27. The Tig Three”
