Abstract
"If these doctrines (evolution and germ theory of disease with its concomitant disproof of spontaneous generation) are true, all talk of creation or methods of creation becomes absurdity; for just as certainly as they are true, God Himself is impossible. . . . No, if this after all is the best that science can give me, give me then, I pray, no more science."1 These are not the words of a modern-day creationist, but those of the President of Columbia College, F.A.P. Barnard, speaking at the first meeting of the American Public Health Association in 1873. Barnard was no religious fanatic but a sophisticated scientist who had summarized the work of Pasteur and Lister earlier in his talk.
