BIOLOGY VERSUS THEOLOGY.

THE BIBLE
IRRECONCILABLE WITH SCIENCE, EXPERIENCE,
AND EVEN ITS OWN STATEMENTS.

By JULIAN.

“Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas
Quique metus omnes et inexorabile fatum—
Subjecit pedibus, strepitumque Acherontis avari.”

Virgil.

“Know, then, thyself—Presume not God to scan;
The proper study of Mankind is Man.”

Pope’s Essay on Man.

“If it be possible to perfect mankind, the means of doing so will be found in the Medical Sciences.”
