"The natural scientists who profess the old views stick to the biblical understanding, the doctrine of the Mosaic creation story, and based on its chronological basis, they consider both the world and humanity to be only 5,000-6,000 years old.

""A régi nézeteket valló természettudósok ragaszkodnak a biblikus felfogáshoz, a mózesi teremtés-monda tanához, s annak kronológiai alapján mind a világot, mind magát az emberiséget csak 5000-6000 esztendősnek tartják. Akad köztük olyan is, aki nemcsak a teremtés évét, de hónapját és napját is kiszámítja. Mások azt is tudni vélik, hogy az ősi patriarcháknak milyenek voltak a testi adottságaik, így pl. Henrion francia akadémikus kiszámította, hogy Ádám 27 méter, Ábrahám 9 méter, míg Mózes csak 3 méter magas volt - s ezt a francia akadémián erősen bizonygatta is."
