Ebook The First Page of the Bible

Whence do we come and whither do we go? But God, who has created the human heart and knows all its desires, has given us the answer in his Word. The first book of Moses, called Genesis, tells us whence we come; the last book of the Bible, the Revelation of St. John, shows us whither we go. It is true, men who have considered themselves wise above that which is written, have tried in every way to gainsay this divine answer; and a false reasoning at the present day proclaims from the house-tops that science has done away with the former belief con cerning the origin of man, and that we are not created by God, but descended from the monkey. But these so-called scientific conclusions are nothing but misty visions and unproved conjee tures of men who rely on their own thoughts and of whom the saying is true: Professing them selves to be wise, they became fools.
