On the other hand, theologians of every denomina tion, who hold the Mosaic narrative to be the record of inspiration, believe that God made man perfect in mental powers and in bodily organization, - that the human -race did not exist in a barbarian state for a period exceeding the limit of the historical record, and that it is not yet six thousand years since they first appeared upon this sublunary sphere.
