Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meaning of Evolution Papa, who made me? I told him God, and he knew enough and was content with his knowledge. After a while he grew older and his inquisitive spirit began to puzzle with the question of how God had made him. When his growing mind was ready for the new knowledge I took him to my side and told him the great mystery of life. I told him how he owed to his father and to his mother the beginnings of his life, how God gave him to us. Now a new era opened in his childish mind. AS he grows on to greater maturity he cannot help wondering how the first man was made, how the trees, and the world came to be. He is no longer satisfied with the simple state ment that God made them. His eager mind wants to know, if may be, how God made them.

Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meaning of Organic Evolution We cannot let go of the past nor the past of us. We are out of 'the past and must live upon foundations there laid. The problem of intelligent growth and progress in life is, with ripening time, to replace what is outgrown and noxious in these foundations with the strong elements of the new in such a way as to keep intact the framework of the high ideas and ideals won and proved in the past struggles of the race and coming to us as a priceless heritage. Our problem is one of assimilation, not one of destruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Evolution IN presenting the following pages to the public, the author wishes it to be understood that he does not expect to convert any to a belief in evolution. He addresses those who accept the doctrine in some form or other as established, although he has endeavoured, as concisely as possible, to present the reader with the reasons for accepting it. Those who remain un convinced by the elaborate works of Darwin, Spencer, and others will probably not accept the views enunci ated in these pages, which, however, it is hoped, will not be unacceptable to many who wish to reconcile the theory of evolution with the highest aims of human thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universal Evolution Finality assumes that a personality, comprehensible to man, created the universe out of nothing. That is, everything is given. But there is no nothingness. Noth ing is a relative term. If one tfies to perceive, or con ceive nothing, he finds it impossible, because, in making the effort he, himself, is still existing, or he could not be perceiving it. If he could succeed in annihilating both himself and notself, then there would be no perception, nor conception of the fact. Therefore we use the word nothing to mean, there is always something. It is, there fore, not logical to think that anything was created out of nothing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution at the Bar Our design, in writing these pages (originally pre pared for use in the compilation of a Bible Cyclopedia by the Bible Union of China) was to set forth the main features of the theory of Evolution in such a way as to make it easy to be understood by the unlearned. The exponents of science and philosophy usually adopt a style and vocabulary which effectually hide their meaning from the common people, and which are well calculated to produce the impression that the subjects they discuss are too mysterious and profound to be understood by any but the few who (like them selves) are gifted with intellects of a superior order, and possessed of knowledge unattainable by the ordi nary man.

Download or read book Evolution Classic Reprint written by James Anderson Scott Watson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution The idea of Evolution is an old one. It is older than the Darwinian hypothesis it is older than Lamarck, who published his particular theory in 1809, the year that Darwin was born; it is older than Buffon or Kant. In a fairly definite form it is as old as Aristotle. The Evolution idea has thus itself evolved, and is the product of many centuries of thought. Yet it was only the last generation that began to give the idea serious considera tion, and it is perhaps only the present that has granted it any general measure of acceptance and it was Darwin who wrought this change, who raised the conception of Evolution from the status of a vague speculative idea to that of a well-grounded theory, which appeals to the majority of educated minds as satisfactory and reasonable. We do not here propose to sketch the development of the idea, either before or after Darwin but only, in the first place, to state the grounds on which the belief in Evolution is based, and, in the second, to trace roughly the lines along which animal Evolution has proceeded. In the first few pages of this book, then, we shall endeavour to bring forward some of the evidence on which the modern Evolution theory rests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution and Religion I AM afraid I shall lay myself open to the charge of having adopted a very ambitious title for this book but the size alone is sufficient to convince any one that it is not intended to cover the extensive fields of Evolution and Religion. My object is not to teach evolution, far less theology; but, by placing some of the leading facts of each subject side by side, to call attention to their natural connection. Through the labours of Wolff, Lamarck, and especially Darwin, belief in creation has given place to the idea of gradual development in the world of life; as had previously been the case in regard to the inorganic world. Since the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, the theory of evolution has invaded every department of thought and enquiry, and has revolutionized men's views upon many of the most important subjects. Scientifically, creation is a word now almost without meaning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Doctrine of Evolution written by Henry Edward Crampton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of Evolution: Its Basis and Its Scope The present volume consists of a series of eight addresses delivered as the Hewitt Lectures of Columbia University at Cooper Union in New York City during the months of February and March, 1907. The purpose of these lectures was to describe in concise outline the Doctrine of Evolution, its basis in the facts of natural history, and its wide and universal scope. They fall naturally into two groups. Those of the first part deal with matters of definition, with the essential character istics of living things, and, at greater length, with the evidences of organic evolution. The lectures of the second group take up the various aspects of human evolution as a special instance of the general organic process. In this latter part of the series, the subject of physical evolution is first considered, and this is followed by an analysis of human mental evolution; the chapter on social evolution extends the funda mental principles to a field which is not usually con sidered by biologists, and its purpose is to demonstrate the efficiency of the genetic method in this department as in all others; finally, the principles are extended to what is called the higher human life, the realm, namely, of ethical, religious, and theological ideas and ideals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology of Evolution: A Lecture Then it includes, secondly, the operations of the human heart; the affairs of the heart, matters of faith, questions of feeling, our hopes and fears, anxieties and wishes with regard to one or more supernatural beings, including all of that peculiar instinct which belongs to man everywhere and all over the world, which makes him look upwards, as well as downwards, towards what we call the unknown, or what some have been pleased to call the unknowable. All of this falls within the metaphysical department of the affections or of the emotions. The third department is that of ethics - the practical question of conduct between man and man; of good conduct and of bad conduct. As such, this belongs, not to the department of science, but to the department of applied science in a large sense, or that to which arts pertain.

Download or read book Evolution Explained and Compared With the Bible Classic Reprint written by William Woods Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution Explained and Compared With the Bible The Adversaries of the Doctrine of Evolution frequently say, that it has not been scientifically verified, and therefore, ought not to be accepted. Like the adversaries of the Bible, they demand evidence, which in the nature of the case cannot now be produced, and reject the light of such evidence as we do possess. But no man can do this and be truly honest. The jury box, and on their oath, is not the only place where upright men are called upon to decide their minds by the weight of evidence. The whole evidence before our minds at this hour is divided into two classes. There is first, a limited amount of evidence which can be shown to harmonise both with the "special creation" doctrine, and with the doctrine of Evolution, and which therefore proves neither. And there is secondly, a larger amount of evidence, impossible to reconcile with the special creation hypothesis, but which supports entirely the Doctrine of Evolution. This, I contend, amounts to a legitimate proof of Evolution, and proves conclusively that the special creation hypothesis is untenable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dogma of Evolution The leaders of scientific thought, in the sixteenth century, believed that the question involved an or ganized revolution of method. If the earth, and all it contained, were merely a part of a universe subject solely to mechanical laws and forces, then a death blow had been given to the dogma of the Church, founded on the inspiration of the Scriptures and on the interpretation of Aristotelian philosophy, that the world was fashioned for man by a Creator and Ruler of the universe who could, and frequently did, supersede natural law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution, Vol. 1 Evolution The word is in every mouth. A vague, Often an incorrect conception Of its meaning in the field of biology and with reference to the origin of Man, has reached the popular mind, and stirred it to further investigation and inquiry. Even in its biological aspects, the doctrine of Evolution is seen to touch the great problems of religion and philosophy of origin and destiny. But it is beginning to be understood that not alone as an explana tion of the method whereby living forms have been produced and developed is this doctrine alive with human interest and pregnant with important influences upon human thought and human wel fare. Evolution, reaching backward, takes hold upon the great cosmic problems of the birth and growth of worlds, the nature of Matter and Spirit, the relation Of the phenomenal Universe to its efficient Cause. Reaching forward, it touches and illuminates the pressing problems of ethics and sociology, Offering to the careful student wise instruction for his guidance in all the practical affairs Of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Evolution: With Special Reference to the Evidence Upon Which It Is Founded A new book on evolution, which can lay little claim to novelty of fact or treatment, certainly demands an explanation, if not an apology. My choice of subject for the Westbrook lectures Of 1914 was determined by the very general misapprehension in the public mind concerning the present status Of the evolutionary theory among men Of science. It is widely believed that the theory is an outworn device, which naturalists are beginning to discard and that soon it will have a merely historical in terest. This misunderstanding, for such it is, has arisen from the debates among zoologists and botan ists as to the manner in which evolution has actually occurred and the efficient causes which have brought it about, and, further, from the ambiguous way in which the term Darwinism is Often employed. Frequently, the term is made a synonym of evolu tion, but it ought properly to be restricted to Dar win's explanation Of evolution by natural selection.

Download or read book Truths and Untruths of Evolution Classic Reprint written by John Benjamin Drury and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truths and Untruths of Evolution written by John Benjamin Drury is an interesting look at the science and theory of evolution through a religious lens. The book features several lectures that were originally delivered before the students of the Theological Seminary in New Brunswick and at Rutgers College. Each lecture tackles the subject of evolution and is a masterful attempt to dissect the truth of evolution from the myriad of false theories (as Drury sees them). Running as a central theme throughout the lectures, Drury's main argument concerns the co-existence of the theory of Evolution and religious belief. In particular, Drury highlights the misconception of mutual exclusion between the two and argues that, "In the discussion I have sought to be just and fair to science as well as to religion. As the reader will see, instead of combating Evolution as altogether inadmissible, I concede a possibility of its truthfulness, and aim to show that a believer in God and a Revelation has nothing to fear from it as a foe to religion, when its postulates are freed from assumptions, and its truths are separated from its untruths." John Benjamin Drury's book Truths and Untruths of Evolution is an intriguing read for individuals exploring evolution theory and science through the eyes of religion. Can the two co-exist? For Drury they can and he hopes to prove that to any reader who picks up this text. This book is definitely an exciting read for scholars of religion, science, and those with only a passing interest in either topic.
