Excerpt from Science and the Bible, or the Mosaic Creation and Modern Discoveries
In the following pages the study of these two books is com bined; and the main design of the Wnter, while all along indicating their harmony, is to illustrate the inspired Record of Creation by the marvellous developments of modern science in the various departments of Nature - to bring before the Reader, from among the abounding materials of each Day's work, such objects and scenes and agencies as present striking displays of the omnipotence, wisdom and beneficence of the Creator, and convincing evidences of his universal presence and unremitting agency. Such a presentation of the phenomena of nature in elucidation of the sacred Word, it is believed, will be found by every reflecting person, not only deeply interesting as a study, but also in the highest degree calculated to expand the views, enlighten the judgment, and improve the heart. In thus devoutly studying the Word of God in connection with his wonderful works, we discover the conceptions and plans, the reasonings and purposes, of God; and, to the extent of our capacity, His mind becomes our mind, and His science our science. The more we investigate what He hath done, the more shall we know of Him, and the more we shall admire what we know, and love what we admire.
