Darwinism and Theology (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Darwinism and Theology

A third source of this objection to the lengthened periods involved in the theory of evolution is found in the feeling that the more distant in point of time the Divine act is, the more the Divine Being is removed from the present and the actual. This is a feeling due, evi dently, to the mechanical conception of the cosmical laws, as though God had wound up the world and left it to go; but it is entirely dispelled by that truer concep tion in which we come to know that, however remote the initial step may have been, it is only by an ever present and sustaining spiritual power that outward things are maintained. The religious instinct the Divine Being the origin of the with any propriety, and does not , decline to attribute to Him its daily support; and when this latter thought is equally impressed on the mind, then the long periods which scientific men demand cease to shock the devout mind, then even nature almost witnesses to the timelessness of the Divine Being, and each ancient rock and each protracted process of nature proclaim that with God a thousand years are but as one day.
