“There is nothing here [in the Creation narrative]on which idle curiosity may feed-nothing on which the poor, human mind can speculate. There is the sublimity and reality of divine truth in its moral power to act on the heart and on the understanding. It could never come within the range of the spirit of God to gratify idle curiosity, by the presentation of curious theories. Geologists may explore the bowels of the earth, and draw forth from thence materials from which to add to, and in some instances, to contradict the divine record. They may speculate upon fossil remains; but the disciple hangs with sacred delight over the page of inspiration. He reads, believes, and worships.” (C. H .Mackintosh. Notes on Genesis, 1880, p.17)
