9. MONUMENTAL EVIDENCE AND DOCUMENTAL.

Monumental, by physical destruction after its existence has been recorded in words, may pass into mixed evidence; or documental evidence of a quondam monumental.

Example: The writer of Genesis points his readers to the pillar of Bachel’s grave, on the way from Bethel to Ephrath, but he does not refer to the pillar of salt that once was Lot’s wife, as still existing (Joshua 4:21). The period of time, a week, and its universal existence, is a monumental proof of the truth of Moses, Years, months and days are derivable from the sun and moon; but the week is an unnatural division. Yet there never was an age when it did not prevail in India, China, Assyria, Egypt and it migrated to Greece and Rome. The world is large, and full of conflicting opinions. How many solutions exist of this arbitrary division — seven daysl There is only one known to creation, and that is adequate, for it says the parents of all mankind were taught it. by their Creator.

Now try any other solution and it will be found inadequate, and evidently to accept an inadequate solution of an undeniable fact is credulity in one of its weakest forms.
