WISDOM
FROM
ABOVE
THE
NOBLEST
SCIENCE
We
repeat
that
the
wisdom
from
above
is
the
noblest
science
and
the
best
instruction.
\Vell
do
the
Scriptures
say,
"The
('ntrance
of
thy
truth
giH'th
light."
Well
did
the
Lora
through
the
Prophct
foret('ll
of
our
day-The
wisdom
of
th('ir
wise
men
shall
perish
and
the
unilerstanding
of
their
prudent
men
shall
not
he
manifest.-Ifm,
29:14.
The
great
Sir
Isaac
Newton,
guiiletl
by
the
promise
of
the
Lorel
through
the
Prophet
Daniel,
declal'eil
bis
belief
in
the
possibility
of
rapid
transit
amongst
men.
Daniel
the
prophet
declared,
"Many
shall
run
to
and
fro
antI
knowledge
shall
be
inr·reased."
The
philosopher,
guided
by
Ilis
faith
in
God's
Word,
declared
his
belief
that
some
tlay
mankind
would
travel
at
the
rate
of
fifty
miles
an
hour.
And
yet
the
10comotiYe
was
centuries
away,
and
the
power
of
steam
had
not
even
Leen
discovere,1.
N('arly
two
centuries
later,
a
worldly-wise
man,
scoffing
at
the
Bible,
seoffed
also
at
the
philosopher
who
woultI
allow
the
Bible's
suggestions
to
influence
his
expecta
tions
of
the
future.
The
infidel
savant,
Voltaire,
called
the
Christian
Newton
"a
poor
old
(10tard,
misled
hy
that
old
Book,
the
Bible."
We
all
know
by
this
time
which
of
these
great
m('l1
was
the
dotard!
Scientists
are
still
guessing
and
still
repudiating
the
guesses
of
('ach
other.
To
such
an
extent
is
this
true,
that
no
scien
tifie
book
written
more
than
twenty-five
years
ago,
except
the
Biblr,
is
worth
a
penny.
No
college,
no
school,
no
professor,
no
man
of
learning,
would
recommend
any
scientific
work
of
twenty-five
years
ago
as
heing
authoritative-scientific.
But
this
failure
of
th"ir
hrethren
in
the
past
in
no
way
intimi·
dates
those
who
call
themselves
learned
at
the
present
time.
T1]('y
keep
on
looking
wise
and
guessing
just
the
same.
They
k!'rp
on
laughing
at
the
Bihle
and
reviling
it
and
speaking
of
its
hping
unscientific
and
do
not
see
its
heauty
and
the
real
fulfilling
of
its
promises.
They
still
have
a
fashion
of
hreak
ing
a
chip
off
a
rock,
looking
at
it
long
and
carefully
and
then
d('claring,
with
an
air
of
wisdom,
the
hundreds
of
tlwusalHb
or
millions
of
years
since
that
stone
was
soft
mud
antI
santI
or
gravel.
They
keep
a
stiff
upper
lip,
knowing
that
th('y
are
merely
repeating
the
words
and
mannerisms
of
their
prpr1('c('ssors
and
teach('rs.
They
know,
also,
that
the
mOrr
a~tounding
their
statem('nts,
the
more
wise
the
laity
will
think
thrm
to
he
and
th('
more
thry
will
honor
them.
Any
man
,\'ho
can,
hy
looking
at
a
pirce
of
stone,
reckon
up
all
th('
hUllt1l'rds
of
thousands
of
years
since
its
formation,
must
b('
a
wis('
man
indeed
in
the
estimation
of
the
street
urchin,
or
the
farm('r
and
others,
who,
though
more
intelligent,
have
l1('v('r
tIone
any

hut
have
merely
swallowed
the
advice
of
othprs.
SOME
WHO
DO
A
LITTLE
TIDNKING
This
is
th"
kind
of
trash
that
is
dispensed
in
many
of
the
sdlOol-books
of
our
day.
And
wh('n
thr
studrnts
inquir(',
How,
then,
doe~
it
come
that
thr
Bible
tells
of
only
six
thousand
y('ars
of
the
history
of
man
upon
the
earth
~
the
professors
Ilwrply
sn('rr
antI
smile
at
thr
simplicity
oJ
the
question
and
say,
You
,viII
know
more
about
it
b('for('
you

You
must
stur1y
gpology,
l,iology,

Th('f('
iR,
indeed,
a
small
class
of
people
who,
without
great
l'rctpnsion,
(10
a
little
"om
mon-S('llse
thinking
anr1
have
intnition.
Some
of
these,
prop
erly
enough,
take
note
of
the
fact
that
c('rtain
alluvial
proc('ss('s
of
our
far
'Vrst,
wh('n
tIug
ar('
soft
and
can
be
lvorked
with
a
pick
or
a
shovel,
hut
in
a
wry
short
time,
when
exposed
to
till'
air,
become
absolute
stone.
These
same
think('rs
take
note
of
the
fact
that
humanity
has
learned
in
our
day
to
eombine
various
clays
and
gravels
and
to
make
therefrom
con
crete
and
cement
stone
work.
These
are
asking
with
propriety,
\Yhv
mllst
we
assume
thousands
or
hundreds
of
thousands
or
miliions
of
years
for
the
hardening
of
the
stones
and
clays
which
con~titute
the
surface
of
our
earth,
when
man
knows
how
to
Ilroduce
such
hardness
in
a
few
hours
~
The
ct'lebrah'd
"Mark
Twain"
had
a
good
many
grains
of
common
>'rnse
in
his
make-up.
It
was
part
of
his
delight
to
poke
fun
at
the
pretensions
of
geologists
respecting
Sorlll'
of
their
theories.
One
of
his
amusing
illustrations
along
this
line
discussed
the
Mississippi
river
and
the
changes
known
to
h:l'
e
h:ken
I,!ace
in
it
within
a
few
years.
The
supposition
that
similar
('hanges
had
taken
place
every
year
for
a
thousand
years
,voultl,
he
argu('d,
imply
that
in
that
period
the
Missis
sippi
river
('xt('ntIetl
out
and
O1i('r
the
Gulf
of
~Iexico
several
hundred
miles.
His
irony
was
to
the
point.
It
is
not
sci('ntific
nor
wise
to
assume
that
tile
eonr1itions
of
today
or
of
this
century
or
of
many
c('ntll1'i('s
have
h('en
true
for
thousands
of
y('ars.
\Vho
does
not
know
that
for
yrars
the
Missouri
river
has
been
so
('rratit'
in
its
('ourse,
so
prone
to
cut
new
channels
for
itself,
that
farms
in
one
State,
hy
its
ehanges
of
course,
have
l'een
fo
1'('
('(1
to
],e
pArts
of
another
State.
But
geologists
get
so
into
the
habit
of
guess
ing,
and
rely
so
much
on
the
guesses
of
th('ir
pr('tlec('ssors,
that
they
are
slow
to
profit,
slow
to
ll'arn
to
basp
their
cal
culations
upon
facts
rather
than
fanci('s.
"God
is
not

all
their

His
Woril
is
negl('cted;
h('nt'('
th('
proper
foundation
for
reasoning
and
juilgment
along

lines
is

XXXIT BROOKLYN, N. Y., JUNE 1, 1911 No. 11 VIEWS FROM THE WATCH TOWER WISDOM FROM ABOVE THE NOBLEST SCIENCE We repeat that the wisdom from above is the noblest science and the best instruction. Well do the Scriptures say, ‘‘The entrance of thy truth giveth light.’’? Well did the Lord through the Prophet foretell of our day—The wisdom of their wise men shall perish and the understanding of their prudent men shall not he manifest.—Isa. 29:14. The great Sir Isaac Newton, guided hy the promise of the Lord through the Prophet Daniel, deelared his belief in the possibility of rapid transit amongst men. Daniel the prophet declared, ‘‘Many shall run to and fro and kuowledge shall be increased.’’ The philosopher, guided by his faith in God’s Word, declared his belief that some day mankind would travel at the rate of fifty miles an hour. And yet the locomotive was centuries away, and the power of steam had not even Leen discovered. Nearly two centuries later, a worldly-wise man, scoffing at the Bible, scoffed also at the philosopher who would allow the Bible’s suggestions to influence his expectations of the future. The infidel savant, Voltaire, called the Christian Newton ‘‘a poor old dotard, misled by that old Book, the Bible.’’ We all know by this time which of these great men was the dotard! Scientists are still guessing and still repudiating the guesses of cach other. To such an extent is this true, that no scientific book written more than twenty-five years ago, except the Bible, is worth a penny. No college, no school, no professor, no man of learning, would recommend any scientific work of twenty-five years ago as being authoritative—scientific. But this failure of their brethren in the past in no way intimidates those who call themselves learned at the present time. They keep on looking wise and guessing just the same. They keep on laughing at the Bible and reviling it and speaking of its heing unscientific and do not see its beauty and the real fulfilling of its promises. They still have a fashion of breaking a chip off a rock, looking at it long and carefully and then deelaring, with an air of wisdom, the hundreds of thousands or millions of years since that stone was soft mud and sand or gravel. They keep a stiff upper lip, knowing that they are merely repeating the words and mannerisms of their predecessors and teachers. They know, also, that the more astounding their statements, the more wise the laity will think them to be and the more they will honor them. Any man who ean, by looking at a piece of stone, reckon up all the hundreds of thousands of years since its formation, must he a wise man indeed in the estimation of the street urchin, or the farmer and others, who, though more intelligent, have never done any thinking, but have merely swallowed the advice of others. SOME WHO DO A LITTLE THINKING This is the kind of trash that is dispensed in many of the school-hooks of our day. And when the students inquire, How, then, does it come that the Bible tells of only six thousand years of the history of man upon the earth? the professors merely sneer and smile at the simplicity of the question and say, You will know more ahout it before you graduate. You must study geology, biology, ete. There is, indeed, a small class of people who, without great pretension, do a little common-sense thinking and have intuition. Some of these, properly enough, take note of the faet that certain alluvial processes of our far West, when dug are soft and can be worked with a pick or a shovel, but in a very short time, when [4825] exposed to the air, become absolute stone. These same thinkers take note of the fact that humanity has learned in our day to combine various clays and gravels and to make therefrom conerete and cement stone work. These are asking with propriety, Why must we assume thousands or hundreds of thousands or millions of years for the hardening of the stones and clays which constitute the surface of our earth, when man knows how to produce such hardness in a few hours? The eclebrated ‘‘Mark Twain’? had a good many grains of common gense in his make-up. Jt was part of his delight to poke fun at the pretensions of geologists respecting some of their theories. One of his amusing illustrations along this line discussed the Mississippi river and the changes known to have taken place in it within a few years. The supposition that similar changes had taken place every year for a thousand years would, he argued, imply that in that period the Mississippi river extended out and over the Gulf of Mexico several hundred miles. His irony was to the point. It is not scientifie nor wise to assume tliat the conditions of today or of this century or of many centuries have been true for thousands of years. Who does not know that for years the Missouri river has been so erratie in its course, so prone to eut new channels for itself, that farms in one State, by its changes of course, have }een foreed to be parts of another State. But geologists get so into the habit of guessing, and rely so much on the guesses of their predecessors, that they are slow to profit, slow to learn to base their calculations upon facts rather than fancies, ‘‘God is not in all their thoughts.’’? His Word is neglected; hence the proper foundation for reasoning and judgment along geological lines is lacking. THE GALLEY HILL MAN Some twenty-three years ago a human skeleton was found imbedded in elay sand eight feet below the gravel which, we are assured, appeared to be in its original state. The finder of this, of course, felt sure that he had found a treasure, and in order to be a treasure and valuable it must he classed very, very ancient. All theories and imaginations respecting a flood tide of the River Thames, or respecting a burial, must be discouraged. The find must be a valuable one for the sake of the finder. The next thing necessary to he found was a gray-haired professor who also should be made famous. Dr. Keith, conservator of the Royal College of Surgeons, was the man of the hour. He has hecome famous through the wisdom he has displayed and the information he has given to the world in respect to mankind. He declares that the skeleton found belongs to a man who lived one hundred and sixty-four thousand years hefore the time when the Bible says Adam, the first man, was made in the image of his Creator! We sit appalled at sueh wisdom. Jf we dared ask so great aman a small, trifling question, which, perhaps, any foolish person would know how to answer, our question would be, “How long, O sage, may we suppose the bones of an ancient Briton might have continued in good preservation had they not heen ruthlessly disturbed???) We might further ask whether or not a sandy loam might be eonsidered a favorable burying ground, so that corpses in gencral would not disintegrate and go to dust in a comparatively few years? Surely a miracle must be elaimed by Prof. Keith for the preservation of these bones, so as to give him an opportunity of enlightening the (159-164)
