An Attack on Creation from the Inside Is the Most Vicious,
Because That Undermines the Savior as the Creating Word


The AUTHORSHIP of the book of Genesis is a matter vital to its scriptural authority. Was it written by one inspired of God? In answer, we would say that the concurrent voice of the unanimous Jewish and Christian Church establishes its author to be Moses. But as this has of late been assailed with more than usual violence, not alone by skeptics, which was to have been expected, but even here and there by one vaunting himself to be a Christian teacher, it is important that we set forth anew the foundations upon which this claim rests. For in whatever age skepticism lifts its head, and utters its old calumnies, we must lay it low again with the sword of truth, even as has been so often done in the past.

 The Logos Hymn in John 1 describes Jesus as the Creating Word.
Nothing was created apart from Him.
Did He - who raised the dead - need evolution to help Him create?
