Excerpt from Divine Order of Development, as Traced in Nature, Man, and the Bible, by the Methods of Christ and of the Spirit In former works dealing with the study of development, the standpoint has been that of enquiry; of trying to find out in the light of Science, Philosophy and the Bible, what men can discover about the order that exists in the Universe. The Evolution theory, in the past, received careful consideration, with this result, it was found to be too limited; it shut out from study realms of thought of supreme importance; it was natural and mechanical in its method; thus whilst very useful from the standpoint of Nature, it failed to interpret Man, truly or fully, as spiritual; and the attitude it took toward the Bible, and Spiritual religion, made it quite clear that such a theory, or system of thought, could not be accepted by spiritual thinkers. The steps of onward study that have been followed tend to show that scientific enquiry, and pure scientific results, are not the private possession of the School of evolutionists only, they are Divine gifts of truth to all men; and all men are invited to drink deeply from the fountain of Science because it is being discovered that this water of Truth and Life is the purest that men have found. There ought not to be any conflict whatever about the term "pure Science;" what men mean when they use it is that they have discovered certain definite, true relations and conditions of thought, that are m harmonious agreement. They say that they have found Truth; that Truth has set them free; and that they are no longer the children of experience, or empiric enquirers, who are trying to discover order and law. What this means is that Truth exists as objective fact; that Truth becomes a personal matter of experience in psychical thought; that the man who loves Truth is not satisfied with what is sensuous, or what appears to be true; he must go on to consider, analyse, synthesise, generalise, and put in universal order all the facts expressed by things, thoughts and the true relations of thoughts as Science. In this sense, Science means the harmony of thoughts in all their relations; the order that is known to exist in the universe and that can be traced by the Intellect. The physical Sciences are examples of what Science means as discovered order; when men discover the order that exists; they say that this is equivalent to law as universally true; and thus law becomes a moral ideal, a standard of thought to which appeal can be made. It will be observed that order, and law, as thus explained, must not be limited by the natural, by what is physical or psychical. The empirical, the region of enquiry and discovery must be left free; and what is spiritual or religious, must also be admitted for consideration; because, it is reasonable to expect, that these realms also will in due time be resolved into their rational order and laws. It has been by following this method of study that the conception has arisen that there cannot be real conflict in the world of Science; there are differences, and if these are misinterpreted, then the would-be scientific thinker might make assertions, which in the fuller light of Science would be seen to be incorrect. For example. Evolutionists assume, and assert, that the process of evolution is continuous from Force to Altruism, and that there is no break in the continuity.

From the PREFACE. In former works dealing with the study of development, the standpoint has been that of enquiry; of trying to find out in the light of Science, Philosophy and the Bible, what men can discover about the order that exists in the Universe. The Evolution theory, in the past, received careful consideration, with this result, it was found to be too limited; it shut out from study realms of thought of supreme importance; it was natural and mechanical in its method ; thus whilst very useful from the standpoint of Nature, it failed to interpret Man, truly or fully, as spiritual; and the attitude it took toward the Bible, and Spiritual religion, made it quite clear that such a theory, or system of thought, could not be accepted by spiritual thinkers. The steps of onward study that have been followed tend to show that scientific enquiry, and pure scientific results, are not the private possession of the School of evolutionists only, they are Divine gifts of truth to all men; and all men are invited to drink deeply from the fountain of Science because it is being discovered that this water of Truth and Life is the purest that men have found. There ought not to be any conflict whatever about the term "pure Science ;" what men mean when they use it is that they have discovered certain definite, true relations and conditions of thought, that are in harmonious agreement. They say that they have found Truth; that Truth has set them free; and that they are no longer the children of experience, or empiric enquirers, who are trying to discover order and law. What this means is that Truth exists as objective fact; that Truth becomes a personal matter of experience in psychical thou, M; that the man who loves Truth is not satisfied with what is sensuous, or what appears to be true; he must go on to consider, analyse, synthesise, generalise, and put in universal order all the facts expressed by things, thoughts and the true relations of thoughts as Science. In this sense, Science means the harmony of thoughts all their relations; the order that is known to exist in the universe and that can be traced by the Intellect. The physical Sciences are examples of what Science means as discovered order; when men discover the order that exists; they say that this is equivalent to law as universally true; and thus law becomes a moral ideal, a standard of thought to which appeal can be made.

According to the Christian faith, Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation not only of the nature of God the Creator but also of how God the Creator relates to the created order. The New Testament explicitly relates the act of creation to the person of Jesus Christ - who is also a participant within creation, and who is said, by his acts of participation, to have secured creation's ultimate redemption from the problems which presently afflict it. Christian theology proposes that Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word and Wisdom of God, the agent in whom the Spirit of God is supremely present among us, is the rationale and the telos of all things - time-space as we experience and explore it; nature and all its enigmas; matter itself. Christology is thus utterly fundamental to a theology of creation, as this is unfolded both in Scripture and in early Christian theology. For all this, the contemporary conversation about science and faith tends, to a remarkable degree, to neglect the significance of Jesus Christ, focusing instead on a generic "God of wonder" or "God of natural theology." Such general theism is problematic from the perspective of Christian theology on many levels and has at times led to a more or less deistic theology: the impression that God has created the world, then largely left it to itself. Such a theology is far removed from classical Christian renderings of creation, providence, redemption, and eschatology. According to these, the theology of creation is not just about remote "beginnings," or the distant acts of a divine originator. Rather, the incarnate Jesus Christ is himself - remarkably - the means and the end for which creation itself exists. If we would think aright about our world, study it and live within it wisely, we must reckon centrally with his significance. What might such a bold claim possibly mean, and why is Jesus Christ said by Christian theology to be so important for understanding God's overall relationship to the created order? What does this importance mean for science? Christ and the Created Order addresses these questions by gathering insights from biblical scholars, theologians, historians, philosophers, and scientists. This interdisciplinary collection of essays reflects on the significance of Jesus Christ for understanding the created world, particularly as that world is observed by the natural sciences. Contributors to Christ and the Created Order include Marilyn McCord Adams, Richard Bauckham, Deborah Haarsma, Paul Moser, Murray Rae, James K. A. Smith, Norman Wirzba, N. T. Wright, and more.

I have focused on the idea of man in creation and have tried to clarify it. Perhaps there is as much confusion and uncertainty here as anywhere today, even in Christian ranks. There is confusion and uncertainty of the beginning of man, was he created as man as of today or did he evolve from an ape? Also, there are other things that confuse and seem uncertain to man that I tried to point out in this study. The idea of God is being attacked in many ways and in many quarters. But there seems to be, also, a growing recognition of man's need of God. Man within himself is helpless in the midst of hostile forces on every hand. God is man's only refuge and help in time of need. I feel that man should know about his total self, and relationship with God. I will try to point out and focus on studies of man before the world was created, the three-folds of man's nature and functional parts, his fall and punishment, and also his renewal stages and his final destiny.
