About This Book

The author mounts a systematic theological and scientific critique of evolutionary theory, arguing it remains unproven and raises unsolved problems about origins of matter, life, species, and humans; he examines geological, morphological, embryological, and distributional evidence, highlights contested interpretations and absent transitional forms, and questions spontaneous generation and nebular hypotheses; the book surveys dissenting scientific opinions, traces perceived effects of evolutionary ideas on Christian belief and public morals, and concludes that the question demands broader philosophical and theological consideration rather than exclusive reliance on scientific authorities.

THE OTHER SIDE OF EVOLUTION

An Examination of Its Evidences

With an introduction by George Frederick Wright, D.D., LL.D., Oberlin College.

This book undertakes to show that Evolution is not accepted by all scientists and gives names of many who oppose it; that it is admittedly an unproven theory; that it has never been verified and cannot be; that not a single case has ever been known, or any cause by which such changes could take place. Its arguments are fairly stated and considered one by one. Over a hundred writers are cited, including all the great evolutionists.
