Blending lights; or, The relations of natural science, archaeology, and history, to the Bible . eamers, andhave no scientific basis for their dogmas. In short, the advocates of an evolution whose originis in atoms, have utterly failed to give any plausible ac-count of the facts of modern civilization, of the philoso-phy of human history, and of the doctrines and preceptsof Christianity. The present aspects of the controversyrecall Kirchows conclusion : Of all kinds of dogma-tism, the materialistic is the most dangerous, because itdenies its own dogmatism, and appears in the garb ofscience ; because it professes to rest in fact, when it isbut speculation ; and because it attempts to annex terri-tories to the domain of natural science before they havebeen fairly conquered. This discussion, so far as it has yet gone, has donegood in showing the weakness of the argument in sup-port of materialism, and the weakness also of Christianapologists in making unnecessary and mischievous con-cessions, the consequences of which they do not foresee.
