"Moses, not Darwin" by B. G. Johns is a sermon delivered in 1871, reflecting the theological discourse of that period. The book, categorized as a religious publication, addresses the creation of humanity in contrast to the scientific theories of evolution proposed by Darwin. The text primarily debates the spiritual nature of man and the divine origins of human existence, emphasizing the belief that humanity is created in the image of God. In
this sermon, Rev. B. G. Johns passionately defends the view that man is fundamentally different from animals, contending against the notion that humans evolved from lower forms of life. He discusses the implications of this belief on morality, spirituality, and the nature of the soul. Johns emphasizes that true religion should permeate daily life and that neglecting one's spiritual existence leads to a dangerous detachment from God. Through vivid imagery and rhetorical questioning, he argues for the necessity of recognizing one's divine heritage and living a life reflective of that understanding, ultimately connecting the importance of faith to the assurance of eternal life.
