Excerpt from Errors of the Scriptures It may be said, in this and several other cases, that the result is the same, whether we suppose the statements to be those of imperfect human knowledge, or of omniscience adapting itself to human ignorance in either case, the im perfect statement remains. In a certain sense this is true, and is a necessity of any progressive revelation, and, in fact, of any revelation, to men of limited knowledge but the view to be taken of the Scriptures depends greatly on whether we consider this imperfection the result of man's speculation or of God's condescension. In the one case, we have the human element of the Bible without limitation, and can rely upon it only in so far as man's wisdom is trustworthy; in the other, we have the teaching of Omniscience itself, and only need to take into account that he taught men according as they were able to bear. We think that the cosmogony of Genesis, to say the least, is consistent with the latter hypothesis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
