Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illogical Geology: The Weakest Point in the Evolution Theory This book is not written especially for geologists or other scientists as such, though it deals with the question which it discusses from a purely scientfic standpoint, and presupposes a good general knowledge Of the rocks and of current theories. It is addressed rather to that large class of readers to whom geology is only an incident in larger problems, and who are not quite wholly satisfied with those explanations of the universe which are now commonly accepted on the testimony of biological science. I am free to say that my own conviction Of the higher value and surer truth Of other data outside of the biological sciences have always been given formative power in my own private Opinions, and that in this way I have long held that there must be something wrong with the Evolution Theory, and also that there must be a surer way of gauging the value of that Theory, even from the scientific standpoint, than the long devious processes connected with Darwinism and biology. Some years ago, when compelled to investigate the subject more fully than I had hitherto done, I discovered, somewhat to my own surprise, the phenomenal weakness of the geological argument. The results of that investigation have grown into the present work. Though mostly critical and analytic, it is not wholly so. But so far as it is constructive there is one virtue which can rightly be claimed for it. It is at least an honest effort to study the foundation facts of geology from the inductive standpoint, and whether or not I have succeeded in this, it is, so far as I know, the only work published in the English or any other language which does not treat the science of geology more or less as a cosmogony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brief outline of the argument which I have used in the following pages will be in order here.Darwinism, as a part, the chief part, of the general Evolution Theory, rests logically and historically on the succession of life idea as taught by geology. If there has actually been this succession of life on the globe, then some form of genetic connection between these successive types is the intuitive conclusion of every thinking mind. But if there is no positive evidence that certain types are essentially older than others, if this succession of life is not an actual scientific fact, then Darwinism or any other form of evolution has no more scientific value than the vagaries of the old Greeks—in short, from the standpoint of true inductive science it is a most gigantic hoax, historically scarce second to the Ptolemaic astronomy.

Book excerpt: "Illogical Geology" by George McCready Price challenges conventional geological theories of his time and presents an alternative perspective rooted in his interpretation of biblical narratives. In this controversial work, Price argues against mainstream geological principles such as uniformitarianism and evolution, proposing instead a theory of catastrophism and a young Earth timeline based on the biblical account of creation. Price's central thesis revolves around the rejection of the notion that geological processes occur gradually over vast periods of time. He contends that the geological features of the Earth, such as rock layers and fossils, can be better explained by catastrophic events, particularly the biblical flood described in the Book of Genesis. According to Price, these catastrophic events occurred relatively recently in Earth's history, contradicting the long ages proposed by mainstream geology. Throughout "Illogical Geology," Price presents geological evidence, primarily drawn from his observations of rock formations and fossil records, to support his arguments. He critiques the methods and assumptions of mainstream geologists, accusing them of adhering to a dogmatic belief system that excludes alternative interpretations. Price's work sparked considerable debate within the scientific community, with many geologists rejecting his ideas as unscientific and based on religious ideology rather than empirical evidence. Despite its controversial nature, "Illogical Geology" remains influential within certain religious and creationist circles, where it is celebrated as a defense of biblical literalism and a challenge to the prevailing scientific consensus. Overall, "Illogical Geology" offers a provocative perspective on the Earth's history and geological processes, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about the relationship between science, religion, and the interpretation of evidence. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Price's conclusions, his work continues to stimulate discussion and reflection on the intersection of faith and science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1995, The Selected Works of George McCready Price is the seventh volume in the series, Creationism in Twentieth Century America, reissued in 2021. The volume brings together the original writings and pamphlets of George McCready Price, a leading creationist of the early antievolution crusade of the 1920s. McCready Price labelled himself the ‘principal scientific authority of the Fundamentalists’ and as a self-taught scientist he enjoyed more scientific repute amongst fundamentalists of the time. This interesting and unique collection of original source material includes five of his writings between 1906 and 1924, challenging the new Darwinian theory of evolution and natural selection through his writings on the natural sciences. His literature covers the topics of evolution and biology and critiques biological arguments for evolution. He also wrote widely on geology offering his own alternative argument of ‘flood geography’ in opposition to the Darwinian theory concerning palaeontology and geology. This volume will be of interest to historians of natural history and the creationism movement, as well as scholars of religion and American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty-seven percent of the American people, according to a 1991 Gallup poll, believe that God made man--as man is now--in a single act of creation, and within the last ten thousand years. Ronald L. Numbers chronicles the astonishing resurgence of this belief since the 1960s, as well as the creationist movement's tangled roots in the theologies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Adventists, and other religious groups. Even more remarkable than Numbers's story of today's widespread rejection of the theory of evolution is the dramatic shift from acceptance of the earth's antiquity to the insistence of present-day scientific creationists that most fossils date back to Noah's flood and its aftermath, and that the earth itself is not more than ten thousand years old. Numbers traces the evolution of scientific creationism and shows how the creationist movement challenges the very meaning of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Hodge, James McCosh, B. B. Warfield -- these leading professors at Princeton College and Seminary in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are famous for their orthodox Protestant positions on the doctrine of evolution. In this book Bradley Gundlach explores the surprisingly positive embrace of developmental views by the whole community of thinkers at old Princeton, showing how they embraced the development not only of the cosmos and life-forms but also of Scripture and the history of doctrine, even as they defended their historic Christian creed. Decrying an intellectual world gone “evolution-mad,” the old Princetonians nevertheless welcomed evolution “properly limited and explained.” Rejecting historicism and Darwinism, they affirmed developmentalism and certain non-Darwinian evolutionary theories, finding process over time through the agency of second causes — God’s providential rule in the world -- both enlightening and polemically useful. They also took care to identify the pernicious causes and effects of antisupernatural evolutionisms. By the 1920s their nuanced distinctions, together with their advocacy of both biblical inerrancy and modern science, were overwhelmed by the brewing fundamentalist controversy. From the first American review of the pre-Darwinian Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation to the Scopes Trial and the forced reorganization of Princeton Seminary in 1929, Process and Providence reliably portrays the preeminent conservative Protestants in America as they defined, contested, and answered -- precisely and incisively -- the many facets of the evolution question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive intellectual history of America’s century-old debate over teaching evolution in public schools. For well over a century, the United States has witnessed a prolonged debate over the teaching of organic evolution in the nation’s public schools. The controversy that began with the publication of Darwin’s Origin of the Species had by the 1920s expanded to include theologians, politicians, and educators. The Scopes trial of 1925 provided the growing antievolution movement with significant publicity and led to a decline in the teaching of evolution. In The Evolution Crisis in America, George E. Webb details how efforts to improve science education in the wake of Sputnik resurrected antievolution sentiment and led to the emergence of “creation science” as the most recent expression of that sentiment. Creationists continue to demand “balanced treatment” of theories of creation and evolution in public schools, even though their efforts have been declared unconstitutional in a series of federal court cases. Their battles have been much more successful at the grassroots level, garnering support from local politicians and educators. Webb attributes the success of creationists primarily to the lack of scientific literacy among the American public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we will discover the most accurate account of creation as taught from Scripture and verified by science. We will leave no stone unturned as we venture through the following fields of study: Stratigraphy, Meteorology, Obliquity, Dinosaurs, The Fossil Record, Star Light, Greek, Hebrew, Angelology, Creation, the Fall, History, and Theology. In this book, the Gap Theory Model of Creation will not only take the stand, but give answers to all the charges it has been accused of by the Young Earth Creation Science Movement (YECSM). Furthermore, the Gap Theory will provide a workable model that functions properly with both the Bible and Geology. See in this amazing book how the Bible reached out thousands of years ahead of the YECSM, Modern Science, and Geology providing Answers to the following questions: · Does Let, Made, Formed, and Create all mean the same thing? · Does Replenish in Genesis 1:27 mean “fill”? · Does Genesis 1:2 really describe an unformed and unfilled earth? · Were angels really created in the Six-Day Narrative? · Does the Bible really say that the material universe was created in the Six-Day Narrative? · Was Adam immortal before his fall? · Is there a workable model in Biblical Creation for Modern Geology? · Did the Geologic Column form in the Noahic Flood? · Is the YECSM from within or without Mainline Christianity? · Does our Creation Doctrine affect other doctrines? · Is Creation a part of God’s qualitative attributes, or is it just limited to the Six-Day Narrative? · Is it logical or illogical to propagate an Appearance of Age Theory when defending a Young Earth? · Did the Bible writers teach an Old or Young Earth? · When was the Creation made subject to vanity? Pre- or Post- Fall? · Could the early Church have grasped modern-day interpretations of Creation? · Are the leaders of the YECSM qualified to represent Christianity to the world’s intellectual communities? A Must for Every Person in the Ministry!

Download or read book EVOLUTION written by Michael Ruse and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning evolutionary science from its inception to its latest findings, from discoveries and data to philosophy and history, this book is the most complete, authoritative, and inviting one-volume introduction to evolutionary biology available. Clear, informative, and comprehensive in scope, Evolution opens with a series of major essays dealing with the history and philosophy of evolutionary biology, with major empirical and theoretical questions in the science, from speciation to adaptation, from paleontology to evolutionary development (evo devo), and concluding with essays on the social and political significance of evolutionary biology today. A second encyclopedic section travels the spectrum of topics in evolution with concise, informative, and accessible entries on individuals from Aristotle and Linneaus to Louis Leakey and Jean Lamarck; from T. H. Huxley and E. O. Wilson to Joseph Felsenstein and Motoo Kimura; and on subjects from altruism and amphibians to evolutionary psychology and Piltdown Man to the Scopes trial and social Darwinism. Readers will find the latest word on the history and philosophy of evolution, the nuances of the science itself, and the intricate interplay among evolutionary study, religion, philosophy, and society. Appearing at the beginning of the Darwin Year of 2009Ñthe 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of SpeciesÑthis volume is a fitting tribute to the science Darwin set in motion.
