The Fundamentals - Torrey - LXXI - Chapter 6 (The passing of evolution)

Required reading
The Fundamentals edited by R. A. Torrey (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read Chapter 6 (The passing of evolution).

My summary
Today Wright teaches us about evolution.

In particular, he explains that Darwinism hasn't been able to correctly answer the following questions:
(i) what is a species?;
(ii) what is the origin of life;
(iii) what happened in the beginning?
(iv) what is the origin of man?

What grabbed me
I thought Wright made an important point about the concept of evolution itself: 'The word evolution is in itself innocent enough, and has a large range of legitimate use. The Bible, indeed, teaches a system of evolution. The world was not made in an instant, or even in one day (whatever period day may signify) but in six days. Throughout the whole process there was an orderly progress from lower to higher forms of matter and life. In short there is an established order in all the Creator's work. Even the Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which being planted grew, from the smallest beginnings to be a tree in which the fowls of heaven could take refuge. So everywhere there is "first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear."'

Evolution isn't the problem.  It is Darwinian evolution that is erroneous.
