Excerpt from The Princeton Theological Review, 1911, Vol. 9The fundamental assertion of the Biblical doctrine Of the origin of man is that he owes his being to a creative act of God. Subsidiary questions growing out of this fundamental assertion, however, have been thrown from time to time into great prominence, as the changing forms of current ah thropological speculation have seemed to press on this or that element in, or corollary from, the Biblical teaching. The most important Of these subsidiary questions has concerned the method Of the Divine procedure in creating man. Dis cussion of this question became acute on the publication of Charles Darwin's treatise on the Origin of Species in 1859, and can never sink again into rest until it is thoroughly understood in all quarters that evolution cannot act as a substitute for creation, but at best can supply only a theory of the method of the Divine providence. Closely connected with this discussion of the mode of origination of man, has been the discussion of two further questions. Both Older than the Darwinian theory, to one Of which it gave however a new impulse, while it has well-nigh destroyed all interest in the other. These are the questions of the Antiquity Of Man and the Unity Of the Human Race. To both of which a large historical interest attaches, though neither of them can be said to be burning questions of to-day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
