Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dublin Quarterly Journal of Science, 1866, Vol. 6 Again Applying the Observed numerical statistics of succession and increase to the antiquity of man, the solution will be found to con firm the Mosaical period of 6000 years since the creation of Adam. Exceed that period by even a small proportion of the hundreds Of mil lenniums assigned by some to the past duration of our race, and then, making amplest allowances for all the checks to fecundity, inevitable, or fortuitous - war, famine, pestilence, death by physical accident, or by natural decay, and all the other ills entailed by sin and violence nevertheless, man must have multiplied up to this date to such an extent as to render collective existence impossible within his present circumscribed domain, except the cumulative pressure of population was stemmed by a universal cannibalism, or that a wholesale exodus at stated periods to some other planet was found practicable. To such monstrous and absurd conclusions are those driven, who reject the evi dence of revelation, history, and experience, for the wild inventions of an unchastened imagination.
