The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 32

Immortality

Immortality.

A third fundamental of Christianity that is endangered is, we hear, the doctrine of immortality. Why immortality should be less credible on the evolutionist theory of Creation than on any other I confess myself quite unable to see. This objection, like the one last considered, is good only as against the Atheist, and should be addressed to him in his quality of Atheist. It is good only against those who believe that if Evolution does not make man immortal there is no other Power that will or can. For my part, I believe in such a Power, and hence, whatever man's origin, can believe in Immortality. I said on a recent public occasion that the doctrine of Evolution helps our belief in immortality, and to that statement I adhere. Looking at the depths from which God has brought man, no height to which he may propose to raise him seems incredible.
