In London there is a public park
in which Londoners can escape the noise and bustle of the surrounding streets.
One corner of this park is called 'Speakers Corner' in which it is a popular
Sunday morning activity for members of the public to address their fellow
citizens on any subject that they wish. On the particular Sunday of which I
write a very earnest young man, dressed neatly in black and wearing a clerical
collar, prepared to address those strollers who were looking for free entertainment.
A member of the clergy looked promising game and the gathering crowd was not
disappointed. The earnest young man held up a copy of the Bible.” In this book
is your salvation.” he said. “ Between the covers of this most holy book you
will find God's truth set out for you. Believe only this and repent of your
sins and you will be saved.”
“Wait a minute.” said a young man
in the crowd. “How can you claim that the Bible contains God's truth. In
Genesis for example there are two different accounts of how Man was created.
Which one is right and which one is wrong. Or are they both wrong?
