Continuous Creation

Excerpt from Continuous Creation: An Application of the Evolutionary Philosophy to the Christian Religion "But evolution, properly considered, not only does not put God at a distance, nor obscure his form behind the order of nature, but draws him nearer, and even goes far towards breaking down the walls of mystery that shut him out from human vision. In other words, in evolution we see a revelation of God, while in previous theories of creation we had only an assertion of God. In evolution we have the first cause working by connected processes in an orderly way; in former theories we had a first cause creating the universe by one omnipotent flat, ordaining its laws, and then leaving it to its courses or merely upholding it by his power. In respect of nearness, we at once see that evolution brings God nearer than do the other theories." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
