Excerpt from The Six Days of Creation: Or the Scriptural Cosmology, With the Ancient Idea of Time-Worlds, in Distinction From Worlds in Space Creation in its six-timed aspect has lately called forth several able and valuable works. Almost all of these may be said to view the subject from what may be called the scientific side. Their object is to reconcile, in some way, the statements in Genesis with an assumed scientific scheme. Hence even the theologians among them are content with what may be deemed a possible interpretation. Their argument runs thus: The Bible may have this sense, it must have this sense to be consistent with acknowledged science; and, therefore, on the principle that all truth must be consistent with other truth, it actually has this sense. The reasoning is correct; the conclusion comes logically from the premises; but it is not satisfactory because it is felt to rest, not primarily, but only subordinately, on the Bible itself. The author thinks that he can truly claim that this is the first attempt to discuss the whole question, at any length, from the Scriptural or philological side.
