“The development doctrines are doing much harm on both sides of the Atlantic, especially among intelligent mechanics, and a class of young men engaged in the subordinate departments of trade and the law. And the harm, thus considerable in amount, must be necessarily more than merely considerable in degree. For it invariably happens, that when persons in these walks become materialists, they become turbulent subjects and bad men.” MenPersonsHappensLawYoungScienceSidesWalksClassSubjectsDevelopmentAmountDegreesIntelligentTradeHarmDoctrineYoung ManEngagedDepartmentBoth SidesMechanicSubordinatesBad Man Author:Hugh Miller
“No true geologist holds by the development hypothesis;-it has been resigned to sciolists and smatterers;-and there is but one other alternative. They began to be, through the miracle of creation. From the evidence furnished by these rocks we are shut down either to belief in miracle, or to something else infinitely harder of reception, and as thoroughly unsupported by testimony as it is contrary to experience. Hume is at length answered by the severe truths of the stony science.” Has BeensTruthScienceBeliefRocksCreationDevelopmentEvidenceMiracleHarderContraryAlternativesLengthSevereTestimonyHypothesisReceptionResignedGeologistHume Book:The Foot-prints of the Creator: Or, The Asterolepis of Stromness Source: The Foot-prints of the Creator: Or, The Asterolepis of Stromness
