One night one of my workers called me to deal with a man who claimed to be an infidel. I said to him, “Are you an infidel?” He said, “I am.” I said, “Will you please tell me what makes you an infidel?” He said, “Because I am a scientist and the Bible contradicts the teachings of science.” I asked him of what branch of science he made a specialty. He replied, “Chemistry.” I said, “Did you ever hear of Henry Clerk Maxwell?” He said, “No, I never did.” I suggested he could not be very well read in chemistry if he had never heard of Henry Clerk Maxwell, and further called his attention to the fact that though Henry Clerk Maxwell was such an eminent man of science, he was also an earnest Christian. I next asked him if he had ever heard of James D. Dana (the great geologist). He replied that he had. I doubt if he really had, but he was becoming rattled and did not wish to appear too ignorant. “Well,” I said, “you know that James D. Dana was one of the most eminent men of science that this country has ever produced. Now,” I said, “it was my privilege to study under James D. Dana and to know him personally, and I have heard him say that one reason why he believed the Bible to be the Word of God was because there was such a remarkable agreement between the first chapter of Genesis and the most recent discoveries in geology. Now,” I continued, “it will not do for a little six-by-nine scientist like you to say you cannot believe the Bible because you are a man of science, when men so eminent in the scientific world have found no difficulty in believing in the Bible as the Word of God.”
