Project Gutenberg 2001-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 133 Huxley, Thomas Henry 1825 1895 Huxley, T. H. (Thomas Henry) Mr. Gladstone and Genesis Essay #5 from "Science and Hebrew Tradition" Produced by D.R. Thompson, and David Widger "Mr. Gladstone and Genesis" by Thomas Henry Huxley is a scientific publication written during the late 19th century, specifically reflecting the Victorian era's intellectual climate. The book is a critical essay that engages with the arguments presented by British statesman W.E. Gladstone regarding the Genesis account of creation, juxtaposing these religious assertions with scientific findings and principles. Huxley's work aims to highlight discrepancies between Gladstone's interpretations of the biblical creation narrative and prevailing scientific understanding, particularly in the fields of biology and geology. In this essay, Huxley takes a deliberate and analytical approach to debunk Gladstone’s claims that the biblical account aligns with modern science. He meticulously critiques Gladstone's categorical assertions about the order of creation as described in Genesis and how they correlate with evolutionary science. Huxley emphasizes that, according to paleontological evidence, the timeline of the emergence of life forms such as birds and reptiles does not fit Gladstone's framework, arguing that the biblical text cannot be reconciled with scientific facts. Ultimately, he contends that ascribing scientific truths to ancient texts like Genesis undermines both scientific integrity and the theological narrative itself, proposing that the Genesis story reflects ancient mythological frameworks rather than empirical realities.
