Excerpt from Evolution and Dogma A striking illustration of the unwisdom of com mitting one's self to premature notions, or unproved hypotheses, especially before all the evidence in the case is properly weighed, is afforded in the long and animated controversy respecting the authorship of the Pentateuch. Many reasons have been assigned by the higher critics why it could not have been the production of Moses, to whom it has so long been ascribed by a venerable tradition, and one of the objections urged against the Mosaic authorship was, that written language was unknown in the age dur ing which the Jewish legislator is reputed to have lived. Now, however, the distinguished philologist and archaeologist, Prof. Sayce, comes forward and proves, beyond doubt or quibble, that the conten tion of the higher critics respecting the authorship of the Bible is ill-founded. So sure, indeed, is he, whereof he speaks, that he does not hesitate to assert not only that Moses could have written the Pentateuch, but that it would have been something like a miracle if he had not done so.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... the teachings of Greek philosophy and modern science respecting the theory of Evolution. According to Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes, the world and all it contains were generated from simple primordial matter. From the simple proceeds the complex, from the indeterminate, To faetpov, arise all the manifold differentiated forms of the cosmos. Living originates from non-living matter, because all life had its origin in pristine mud. Heraclitus anticipates Darwin's notion of " the struggle for existence," in his view of conflict, itdit/iot, as the originator of all things, and also in his conception of the endeavor made by individuals to insure their existence against the processes of destruction with which they are surrounded. Empedocles, like our modern scientists, taught not only that all terrestrial things arise from certain primitive elements, but also, like Darwin, recognized a development in animal and vegetable forms. He likewise attempted to explain the origin of the various organic beings, species, genera, etc., by the existence of certain adaptations which tend to perpetuate themselves. Teleological Ideas of Anaxagoras and Aristotle. The first one of the Greek philosophers to take a teleological view of nature, to perceive in the wonderful adaptations everywhere manifested an evidence of intelligent design, was Anaxagoras. His predecessors and contemporaries were, for the most part, believers in the doctrine that all things were originated by chance, or the fortuitous concourse of atoms, and were, consequently, adherents of what is now known as the monistic or mechanical theory of the universe. This can be predicated especially of Democritus, the founder of Atomism and the forerunner of Materialism. But it was reserved for ..".

Excerpt from The Dogma of Evolution The leaders of scientific thought, in the sixteenth century, believed that the question involved an or ganized revolution of method. If the earth, and all it contained, were merely a part of a universe subject solely to mechanical laws and forces, then a death blow had been given to the dogma of the Church, founded on the inspiration of the Scriptures and on the interpretation of Aristotelian philosophy, that the world was fashioned for man by a Creator and Ruler of the universe who could, and frequently did, supersede natural law.

In this book, John Augustine Zahm, C.S.C., makes a concerted effort to reconcile the biological theory of evolution with the Catholic dogma of Creation. Fr. Zahm threads the findings of science into an interpretation of the works of St. Gregory of Nyssa, St. Augustine of Hippo, and St. Thomas Aquinas, all the while defending the indisputable existence of God, the Creator of all things. The twist? Only the primordial matter was created out of nothing, and from it, through the laws with which God has endowed nature, all creatures were created secondarily. Fr. Zahm acknowledges that the six-day account of Creation in Genesis need not be read literally, so as to accommodate the evidence from geology regarding the age of the earth, and from paleontology, of that of plants and animals. He allows for a "two origins" theory of the creation of man, as follows: Man's body was subject to evolution, but that at a certain point in its development, God created and infused a soul into Adam, the first man, and into Eve, his wife. Adam and Eve are the ancestors common to all mankind. And, God created and will create a soul for every conception since the children of our first parents.This book earned Fr. Zahm harsh criticisms from many fronts, including the Jesuits in Europe who delated it to the Sacred Congregation of the Index. A decree of prohibition against it was written, but through the efforts of influential clergy, it was never published. Thereafter, a cloud hung over Catholic scholarship on evolution. It was only lifted in 1950 by the Encyclical Humani generis of Pope Pius XII. In it, the Pontiff allowed Catholic scholars to treat and teach evolution as a hypothesis. In 1996, Pope St. John Paul II, indicated his acceptance of the "two origins" theory, writing, "if the human body takes its origin from pre-existent living matter, the spiritual soul is immediately created by God."

Neo-Darwinian philosophy postulates that random variation plus selection is sufficient to explain the emergence of order in the natural world. Working from this premise, anthropologists explain vengeance, warfare, cannibalism, and religion on the basis of their survival value, while ignoring the actual historical origins of these human institutions. Dr. Hallpike challenges the assumption that competition between different ways of thinking and acting necessarily selects for the most biologically fit, observing that it is often the mediocre alternative that survives. He suggests that because human beings possess consciousness and free will, scientists should consider human selection, rather than natural selection, as the primary agent driving change in our technologies, institutions, practices, and values. Dr. C. R. Hallpike is an anthropologist who began his career working in the field with the Konso of Ethiopia and Tauade tribes of Papua New Guinea. He has written extensively on diverse topics, including cultural relativism, social evolution, primitive thought, the nature of religion, warfare, moral development, and the origins of modern science.
