To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They have imagined that the substitutionof the adjective "partial" for "universal, " will save the credit of thePentateuch, and permit them, after all, without too many blushes, to declare that the progress of modern science only strengthens theauthority of Moses. Nowhere have I found the case of the advocates ofthis method of escaping from the difficulties of the actual positionbetter put than in the lecture of Professor Diestel to which I havereferred. After frankly admitting that the old doc...trine of universalityinvolves physical impossibilities, he continues:-- All these difficulties fall away as soon as we give up the universality of the Deluge, and imagine a _partial_ flooding of the earth, say in western Asia. But have we a right to do so? The narrative speaks of "the whole earth. " But what is the meaning of this expression? Surely not the whole surface of the earth according to the ideas of _modern_ geographers, but, at most, according to the conceptions of the Biblical author.
