That tliis meaning is, prima facie^ one wholly adverse to the present astronomical and geolog- ical views of the universe is evident enough. There is not a mere difference through deficiency. It can- not be correctly said that the Mosaic writer simply leaves out details which modern science supplies, and that, therefore, the inconsistency is not a real, but only an apparent one. It is manifest that the whole account is given from a different point of view from that which we now unavoidably take... ; that the order of things, as we now know them to be, is to a great extent reversed, although here and there we may pick out some general analogies, and points of resemblance. Can we say that the Ptolemaic system of astronomy is not at variance with modern science, because it repre- sents with a certain degree of correctness some of the apparent motions of the heavenly bodies ? The task which sundry modern writers have imposed upon themselves is to prove that the Mosaic narrative, however apparently at variance with our knowledge, is essentially and in fact true, although never under- stood properly until modern science supplied the neces- sary commentary and explanation.
