Project Gutenberg 2006-09-18 Public domain in the USA. 129 Graebner, Theodore 1876 1950 Gräbner, Theo. Grabner, Theo. Evolution: An Investigation and a Critique E-text prepared by Kurt A. T. Bodling, formerly Director of Library Services at Concordia College, Bronxville, New York, USA "Evolution: An Investigation and a Critique" by Theodore Graebner is a critical examination of the theory of evolution, likely written in the early 20th century. The text delves into historical reviews and critiques of key evolutionary concepts, particularly focusing on their implications for religious beliefs and the foundation of Christian doctrine. Graebner aims to present arguments against evolution drawn from a variety of scientific and theological perspectives. The opening of this work sets the stage for a comprehensive critique of the evolutionary theory, particularly through the lens of Graebner's own journey with the subject. He recounts his early exposure to Darwin's ideas and the subsequent influence of his uncle, which prompts him to critically analyze evolution's compatibility with Christian teachings. By intertwining personal reflection with a survey of historical and contemporary evolutionary thought, he outlines a framework that challenges the claims of evolutionists while asserting the necessity of divine influence in the origins of life and species. The text suggests that evolutionary theories lack adequate empirical support and confronts their impact on concepts of morality and human dignity from a Christian perspective.
