Excerpt from The Freethinker's Textbook, Vol. 1: Man, Whence and How? Or, Revealed and Real Science in Conflict Nor is the theory of man's gradual development more difficult than the dogma of Adam's sudden creation. No man has ever witnessed the introduction of a new species of living animal, and yet geology affirms the introduction and cessation of many types and species. Vast periods have been necessary for these evolutions, periods transcending the limits of any possible Bible chronology. According to the Bible, the first man's intellectual condition must have been of the highest order according to science, early man groped in a state of utter barbarism, out of which he has slowly and only partially emerged. The evidences of man's antiquity on the earth have much increased during the last generation. While in historic investigation doubt has been thrown on the vast ages claimed, fifty years since, in Hindostan and Assyria, it has become clear that to pre-historic man an age must be accorded, beside which the long chronologies of India and Egypt dwindle into the pettiest arrays of insignificant figures. At present an endeavour will be made to marshal some few of the facts demonstrating man's existence on the earth prior to the date given in Genesis.
