Excerpt from Evolution and Religion: A Parent's Talks With His, Children Concerning the Moral Side of Evolution
And God said: Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures and let fowl fly above the earth n the face of the expanse of the heaven. - Here, too, th most pronounced, advanced evolutionist recognizes the truth of simple statement. The normal conditions of space are not only darkness and cold, but apparently death. Life projected into the purely negative condition of non-life is as positive a phenomenon as light projected into darkness, or heat into cold. Whence that life came, again we cannot absolutely say.
And God said: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth. This would appear to be an admirably simple and compact statement of the crown ing positive phenomenon of creation, when interpreted in its true evolutionary sense of a gradual development. Man, who is to have dominion over all the earth, emerges first upon the scene. He is to have dominion, not only over all the other forms of animal life, but over the earth itself, with its hidden wealth, its as yet unfolded mysterious forces, which are to be subjugated to his will and become his obedient servants. He is to discover and control the positive phenomena of light.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This evolutionary study of ideas explores the origins of moral and religious ideals in humans and traces their development across history, religions, and cultures. The author examines how concepts such as morality, good, evil, right, and wrong are not innate human instincts but rather products of an evolving social landscape, where collective trial and error have shaped our thinking. This book digs deep into the origins of belief in gods, superstition, and the moral codes that have steered human civilizations. It is a timely study in an era where religious strife and fundamentalism continue to plague the world and offers an original perspective on the origins and nature of religious thought.
