To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The controversy as to whether it was possible to reconcile the first chapter of Genesis with the facts of geology, no one has greatly cared about ; one explanation of the discrepancy has succeeded another; but the religious people were not in their hearts convinced that the facts of geology were facts, while the scientific people were too certain of them to care to look at the matter in another light. The real difficulty is, that the scenery in the midst of which the drama of religion is played... if I may use such a metaphor has been wholly changed. We live in a widened world. The horizons of time and space are indefinitely enlarged. Throughout the whole of the universe, which thus opens upon us in inconceivable vastness and complexity, obtain one law, one order. When we take the Bible, the religious ideas of the Jews, the Pauline exposition of the Gospel, the millennial expectations of the early Church, out of the narrow and half-known world of Augustine or of Luther, and transport them into this fresh universe, will they fill the same place, can we look upon them in the same light ?
