It is not the object\u003cbr\u003eof the writers of Scripture to impart physical instruction or to enlarge\u003cbr\u003ethe bounds of scientific knowledge. But if any one wishes to know what\u003cbr\u003econnection the world has with God, if he seeks to trace back all that\u003cbr\u003enow is to the very fountain-head of life, if he desires to discover some\u003cbr\u003eunifying principle, some illuminating purpose in the history of this\u003cbr\u003eearth, then we confidently refer him to these and the subsequent\u003cbr\u003echapters of Scripture as his safest, and indeed his only, guide to the\u003cbr\u003einformation he seeks. Every writing must be judged by the object the\u003cbr\u003ewriter has in view. If the object of the writer of these chapters was to\u003cbr\u003econvey physical information, then certainly it is imperfectly fulfilled.\u003cbr\u003eBut if his object was to give an intelligible account of God's relation\u003cbr\u003eto the world and to man, then it must be owned that he has been\u003cbr\u003esuccessful in the highest degree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is therefore unreasonable to allow our reverence for this writing to\u003cbr\u003ebe lessened because it does not anticipate the discoveries of physical\u003cbr\u003escience; or to repudiate its authority in its own department of truth\u003cbr\u003ebecause it does not give us information which it formed no part of the\u003cbr\u003ewriter's object to give. As well might we deny to Shakespeare a masterly\u003cbr\u003eknowledge of human life, because his dramas are blotted by historical\u003cbr\u003eanachronisms. That the compiler of this book of Genesis did not aim at\u003cbr\u003escientific accuracy in speaking of physical details is obvious, not\u003cbr\u003emerely from the general scope and purpose of the Biblical writers, but\u003cbr\u003eespecially from this, that in these first two chapters of his book he\u003cbr\u003elays side by side two accounts of man's creation which no ingenuity can\u003cbr\u003ereconcile.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069295575280,"sku":"2940014515979","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014515979_p0.jpg?v=1763610229","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014515979","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
