Excerpt from The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science: A Lecture
I AM not responsible for the phraseology of the title of this Lecture. I feel bound to admit that it is open to criticism; and I propose for a moment to criticise it, not for the sake of finding fault, but because it appears to me that the remarks which I make upon the title of my Lecture will be a good introduction to the Lecture itself.
Take the words, The Origin of the World according to Science. You may have heard of an author who wrote a famous treatise upon The Natural History of Irish Snakes; the treatise was probably the most compendious and the most complete that was ever written; and it was all compressed into this emphatic sen tence, There are no snakes in Ireland. In like manner it might be truly said with regard to the words which I have just now quoted, There is no Origin of the World according to Science.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an examination of the origins of the world, presents perspectives from two worldviews: religious and scientific. It introduces and then compares the creation stories proposed in the book of Genesis and by Ernst Haeckel, a revered scientist and strong proponent of Darwin's theory of evolution. While the sacred text of Genesis offers a spiritual and moral framework for the creation of the world, Haeckel's theories present a purely scientific framework based on the principles of evolution and natural selection. The author's discussion considers the theories of Genesis as a highly imaginative, poetic, and largely non-historical narrative. He points out the lack of evidence to support Haeckel's theory of humans evolving from apes. The author argues that science, when attempting to explain realms beyond its capabilities such as the origin of matter, can overstep its boundaries and venture into the territory of philosophical speculation. By contrasting these two worldviews, this book prompts readers to reflect on the complex relationship between science and faith.
