The validity of the assumptions made in the beginning of a venture determine the validity of the conclusion. This is preeminently true in the creation-evolution debate.

Isaac Newton affirmed this when […]

As a young man he visited Geneva, the Jura and Alps Mountains, the famous Castle of Chillon, and Lausanne.

This name emerged in the 17th and 18th Centuries within the Church of England, when certain religious leaders tended to minimize Christian doctrines.

If for no other reason than that he was a close friend to so many outstanding Christians, we should want to meet a man like William Hake (1795-1890).
