Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beginnings Much has been written lately about "Means" and "Ends"; little about beginnings, without which ends cannot be. Beginnings condition both means and ends. The tree is good and its fruit good; or the tree corrupt and its fruit corrupt. A material revolution has taken place since this book was written in 1939. Theories as to matter have been substantiated by practical demonstration at the cost of thousands of lives. Never was education more rapid nor so extensive. Old ideas will take a long time before they are properly adjusted to the new knowledge - old ideas that require adjustment. There is that which is old and requires no alteration itself, yet calls for considerable amendment in human ideas - the truth in the Bible. Old ideas as to the atom did not fit well with creation, nor did old ideas as to time. Try to think out how unintelligent matter formed itself into the myriad forms we recognise, and made itself perceptive. That is too hard, but to accidentalise force into all that is perceived can surely only be done under the direst necessity to escape from ultimate conclusions as to the consequent relationship to a Cseator. Nevertheless, nothing escapes truth in the end. To despise knowledge, being personal, is foolish, but to pervert knowledge is criminal. For so long has the Bible proved to be ahead of the knowledge or science of yesterdays that every person should conclude that scientists find out things that, while far from the business of the book to disclose in their terms, did not trip the human writers, who did not know those things. Writing as men of their time, they wrote for all time, by revelation. It is more important for a generation to know what is ahead than to know the past. The beginning is for the end, to men. Notwithstanding, most men cannot see prophecy fulfilled before their eyes, largely because they do not believe in Genesis. The Bible is a lasting challenge to the world, and more particularly to Christendom. Responsibility for actions is abhorrent to individuals, nations, and to the world. Belief in creation involves belief in a Creator; not so distasteful a, belief if He is not ascribed attributes of justice and judgment. When man has made a particular mess of running the world, he looks round for someone to help - or to be blamed. It is not unknown for atheists to blame God for the consequences of man-made war. On the other hand, from time to time some high-placed person states that there is hope for the world only in a "return to God."
