Our disputes are not about observations or attested facts;
our debates are about the conclusions draw and their use of
facts.
They debate and judge their conclusions; we have better
grounds to judge, as we have confidence in the word of God,
which they do not.
But we must take care lest our haste or unskilfulness bring
undeserved blame on God's word.
Scripture is infinitely larger than men's hypotheses.
I hope to prove two assertions:
That after "the beginning" there is room for the longest
successive lapses of time
And that ordinary divisions of time are expressly introduced
precisely when it suits God's character and His dealings with
men.
