grinttifit. THE INFIDELITY OF SOIENTIFIO. MEN. Some Of our scientific savans, intoxicated with success real or apparent, have become perfectly insolent and unbearable in their utterances of late. All who will not swal low without question their theories, are either narrow bigots or contemptible nood les. They have only words of pitying scorn for those who believe in Christianity, and hardly less is their scera for tliose - wha believe in a living, personal ,G-od, whose will is supreme over all. .11e Who in 'this' title age still believes in miracles, in prayer, in a special providence, is - either too crazy and fatuous to be made _to that all things opme to passaceorifihg to an ab solutely invariable law, or he is too much under the influence of an ignorant and fanatical priesthood to be able to set, him self free from the superstitions of the past. Those . philosophers who pride them selves on. 'being < calm; ilissionfeSs, and, wholly unprejudiced, rail frantically against every one who will not believe that all. things, man included, are the product of self:dial ; cut matter, shaped and fashioned by. self existent forces. Many of the members of the British Association for the Advance ment of Science; leaving- thefilletitimate sphere, seem smitten with, . a passionate desire to overturn all old beliefs, and sweep away the old g liis,torje. ]instead_ of patiently spelling ntft-tliegyrtikeir titti4s 2 ances and hieroglyphic ;.signs of nature, in stead of reading them over and over again in every possillle; iwrto ptdv:ent mistake, and instead of Carefully comparing one passage with another, they seize upon a few isolated sentences, and draw from them 'the widest inferences, with the same unbounded confidence as *lf r Offillef t ely mas tered the whole book. We are glad that men of such undoubted scientific) attain meats as the Duke of Argyle,.,Mr. Brodie, and others, have stepped forward to rebuke some of the flippant, self-complacent talk to which, under the, name of, philosophy, we are often doorded , to listen;--and at times from lips from which we .wouldhave ex pected other and better things. The, chieU end of interrogating Nature seems to be, according to some, -to- diwg, feta her, if possible, something-to- dettirone God and degrade man. One of the, dogmas,. with the statement and defence of which the British Association rings year by year ' is that man is the lineal descendant of the grimacing and irrational ape; another is, that this lad ing of ignoble origin has been a denizen of this earth for 10,000 years; some say-a- great deal lon . ger. This latter dogma is propounded with - great assurance, arid", we arc sorry to add, in some cases with evident animus against these-who receive the Scrip ture account of the length, of-rna , too -v-sriet ence on the earth. Of this modern theory of the great antiquity of' man, Sir C. Lyell is the chief expo,neaf li!ovir, in ntlinSition to this great champion of- man's antiquity, it is not needful to enter upon any defence of the generally received Scrijiture chrono logy. It may . turn out en a fuller and more exact qxamination of 'the historic landmarks laid down in the Bible, that we have been in , the habit of assigning to Scripture chronology a somewhat too limit ed range ; and should phenomena at length compel us to change our reading-of Scrip ture chronology, no harm will accrue to the foundations, of truth. no noketsityi B laid upon us to face that question in the meantime. The'. - question before us at pres ent is the kind and amount of data on which we are asked to assign a longer historic era to man than what has hitherto been ;assigned to him. Is the evidence so full, viSid, and explicit that. it is "mo longer possible to doubt that .the human race has existed on the earth, in a barbarian state ' for a period for exceeding the limit of the historical re cord 7" This is the question ; with which Mr. Brodie deals, in a series of able papers, offered for discussion at the meeting of the British Association at Dun!lee. He reviews, point by point, the evidence . 00.vhich Sir C. Lyell has built up with so flinch confidence his theory of the ,great.antiquity of man, and point by point he neutralizes it. Th,egrowth of peat in geneval, and the growth of peat in the Somme. Valley in particular, is one of Sir C. Lyell's chief witnesses -to man's antiquity. But Mr. Brodie has most com pletely neutralized the testimony of this witness, by shoWing that other observers of peat growth,• as acute and accurate as M. Boucher de Perthes and Sir C. Lyell, have arrived at different - conclusions. The evidence of this witness is, &Lail events, net sufficiently clear to warrant any one asking us to give up on the strength of, it, all our cherished beliefs. For. if= we give heed to it, many other dates, tte-'lllr. Brodie well re= marks, besides the date of man's appearing on the Of4rth, must be changed. " We must,' he says, in words that must be exceedingly unwelcome - to the advocates, of%thee great antiquity of man, mOing it,plain to them that they have eonstrncted' an exceedingly awkward soidato-ineasure with—" we must apply" one chroliiintiettit'scale to, the "Latin writers and to the Hebrewpenmen, and since a thickneseiji @ig > feet of peat," according to thepropbsed,scale, "indicates a duratipn of eightUotiand:lyears, instead of believing, as we have‘ been accustomed ild to do, that the Roans j 4 NR,d keotland . some sixteen hundred. years ago, , we. must bow to the authority of the tric scale, and gather assuredly, from the depth of the deposit by'Arliieh . their works aro Qovered, that it is exactly eight tkonsand and sixty-seven years shim they construct ed their fottifications and made their roads on the banks of, ; ;the'Facrilip theßeale with which 'Sir`Ofia'rreV tY 6 11 would have Ub measure the period of man's residence on eaqb: :45 2 d'agefillyTallacious and unreliable al a measurer ottime are tno elevation of th e saatislk doiestit 'the THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1868. origin of' oceanic currents, and the ac tion of floating ice, to which Sir Charles so confidently appeals in favor of his dar ling theory of the great antiquity of man. It is amazing how easily the scientific mind is, in some instances, imposed upon by ap pearAnces, and how far it, is carried. , away from right judgment by over-eager specula tion. There has been found . Li rude orna ment of cannel coal, " fifty feet above the sea-level, covered with gravel containing marine shells;" and Sir Charles, in the first, place, taking for granted that the upward movement was uniform, and in'fhe'second place, presuming or conjecturing that the littoral deposits occurring at a height of twenty-five feet aboVe high water mark were made subsequent to the Roman in vasion, prononnces,. by a process of simple multiplication, that the date of the tannel coal ornament is carried back fifteen cen turies before our era: But in opposition to, this theory of a uniform upward movemcint- m , and to-the strong- presumption of' the ti of'the twenty-five feet elevation - beiiii"after the Roman occupation, Mr.. Brodie brings forward facts hich>go.,to show tbat " there has been uo change of relative level of the coasts, of .Scotlandsince the time of tne Roman invasion," and " that the elevation wich did. take place some en timed,previous. to h that eveht, was a sudd one ITlieclitst paper On:the nature and position,ofman" though not, in 'our 'opipion, the best, COn tains a good vindication of man's spiritnal nature and unique positio in opposition fo t those wh6:regarti IthipiaSi a soulless:44e," and wile? rejoice to-,think, Ktri.
