Submitted by Temlakos on

Paul Lemoine (1878 -1940) was President of the Geological Society of France, Director of the Natural History Museum in Paris, and a chief editor of the Encyclopedic Francaise, 1937 edition. In that work, in the article on evolution, he stated: "The theory of evolution is impossible. At base, in spite of appearances, no one any longer believes in it.... Evolution is a kind of dogma which the priests no longer believe, but which they maintain for their people." LeMoine had once been an evolutionist himself, and apparently no French scientist openly challenged the above statement at the time it was published.

A. H. Sayce

Submitted by Temlakos on

Rev. Archibald Henry Sayce (1845 -1933) was an English philologist and archeologist whose studies contributed significantly to the vindication through archeology of the historical sections of the Old Testament. A long-time professor at Oxford, Sayce was probably the foremost Assyriologist of all time, as well as an expert on the Hittites. When he began his career, he was steeped in higher criticism, but the hard facts from the archeological and linguistic investigations in which he played a leading role contributed to his conversion to Biblical Christianity. He authored over 25 major books in his fields. Excerpted from Men of Science, Men of God by Henry M.

He was also well known as a sincere Christian believer. As a prefix to his published papers he wrote:
