Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Promise of the Ages
The law of evolution forms the keynote of this latter nineteenth century. It is the principle of trans formation, of growth, of progress. It has profoundly modified our thought in all fields of observation and speculation, reconstructing the foundations of science, and challenging the dogmas of religion. In striking contrast to this modern conception of the origin of the forms of existence, is the more venerable doctrine of a divine creation, executed consciously by the volition of God in order that His love might find expression in tangible form. The clash of these two opinions, with their innumerable side issues, is termed the con?ict of science and religion. If religion is to prevail in this con?ict, it will be at the price of certain concessions popularly deemed of intrinsic importance, and espe cially by the surrender of all which cannot be defended by reason, namely, the miraculous.
