Since my copy of this book is in storage for 3 years, I will have to
withdraw that claim. I thought there were some anti-evolutionists in that
book. The only thing I have in my notes is:
"Scripture fully allows what fossils seemingly indicate, namely,
considerable descent with modification but always within predetermined
limits." ~ Cordelia E. Barber, "Fossils and their Occurrence," in Evolution
and Christian Thought Today, ed. R.L. Mixter (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1959),
p. 153
Which even today's YECs will agree with. The above is clearly
anti-evolutionary. I will withdraw the anti-geology charge until I can take
another look at the book in about 3 years.
