  1. Dealing with Darwin Place, Politics and Rhetoric in Religious Engagements with Evolution

  2. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  3. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause …into the theological world like a plow into an ant-hill … Those who were thus rudely awakened from their old comfort and repose had swarmed forth angry and confused Andrew Dickson White

  4. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause If Uncle J. is to be read out of the Seminary, Dr. McCosh ought to be driven out of the church, and all private members like myself ought to withdraw without waiting for the expulsion which should follow belief in evolution. If the brethren of the Mississippi Valley have so precarious a hold upon their faith in God that they are afraid to have their sons hear aught of modern scientific belief, by all means let them drive Dr. Woodrow to the wall Woodrow Wilson

  5. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Tadpole Theology on Trial

  6. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  7. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Old Plumer James Woodrow

  8. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  9. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause It would be as plainly absurd to ask these questions as to inquire whether the doctrine is white or black, square or round, light or heavy. … These are qualities which do not belong to such subjects James Woodrow

  10. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause The Lord formed man of the dust of the ground

  11. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Man was born of an ape by ordinary generation The Lord formed man of the dust of the ground

  12. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Minds already degraded HERESY godlessness sensuality mischievous

  13. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  14. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause The question which, in my judgment, is really before the Synod is in regard to the relation between Dr. Woodrow’s hypothesis and the Bible as our church interprets it: between the scientific view and our Bible – the Bible as it is to us John Girardeau

  15. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause The Evolution hypothesis … is, beyond all question, atheistic … In this form evolution is confessedly irreconcilable with the Bible and our Christian Faith George D. Armstrong

  16. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause I confess my inability to see the grounds of this objection … So far as I can see, the unity of the human race depends in no way upon the material of which God formed Adam or the changes through which he had previously caused that material to pass. It seems to me to depend … solely upon the descent of all men from our first parents Adam and Eve. If all men are Adam’s descendants, is there not a ‘perfect race unity’? And how is that unity involved in the question whether Adam’s body was created by an immediate or by a mediate act? What more than community of origin, descent from the same pair, can be needed to ‘preserve the perfect race unity,’ which we all believe to exist? James Woodrow

  17. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause … betrays an entire ignorance of what is involved in the doctrine of descent with modification. The first principle of that doctrine is that the modification appears in a single individual and not in many James Woodrow

  18. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause ‘Pope’ Agassiz

  19. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  20. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Josiah Nott

  21. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause scientific error … political folly

  22. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Human and pigeon breeds were all of a piece: prove that these extraordinary pigeons had all come from one ancestor, and the case would be so much easier for humans … It remained true that one of the best places to pick up contemporary chicken lore was a human-race book like Bachman’s Adrian Desmond & James Moore

  23. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause rash, blundering synodical decrees William Flinn

  24. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Tadpole Theology on Trial

  25. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Tadpole Theology on Trial Prehistory of the Dispute

  26. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  27. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause … not been able to determine, with all their collections and measurements of craniums and facial angles, the color of skin, the weight of brains … whether there be two, three, five or a dozen different species Richard S. Gladney

  28. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause that shallow and fickle policy … in hastily adopting some newly coined exposition … to suit some supposed exigency of new scientific discovery Robert Dabney the most unbiased readiness to accept as truth whatever is proved James Woodrow

  29. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Fort Sumter

  30. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause You must resist or you must practically surrender your Bibles. You will have to ‘take sides’ for or against your God Robert Dabney … dangerous James Woodrow

  31. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Tadpole Theology on Trial Prehistory of the Dispute

  32. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Tadpole Theology on Trial Prehistory of the Dispute Towards a Deeper Archaeology

  33. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  34. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Why else is it that Bushmen are poorer, shorter, uglier and feebler than Englishmen? Providence … prevents that disastrous intermingling of types of organization, shading off in every direction into interminable confusions Robert Dabney

  35. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  36. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause Yankee heresy … rank … fatal … deceptive… farcical and dishonest Robert Lewis Dabney

  37. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause inexorable barrier of alien race, color, and natural character … a dense ignorance of the rights and duties of citizenship … a general moral grade so deplorably low as to permit their being driven or bought like a herd of sheep … a parasitical servility and dependency on nature … an obstinate set of false traditions Robert Lewis Dabney

  38. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause curse of mixed blood… this poison of hybrid and corrupted blood will be enough to complete the destruction of the white States Robert Lewis Dabney

  39. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause

  40. Columbia, Woodrow and the Legacy of the Lost Cause This apparently is the destiny which our conquerors have in view. If indeed they can mix the blood of the heroes of Manassas with this vile stream from the fens of Africa, then they will never again have occasion to tremble before the righteous resistance of Virginian freemen; but will have a race supple and vile enough to fill that position of political subjection, which they desire to fix on the South Robert Lewis Dabney
