I had it 2.lncst rea(iy fol' nubli­ cation four years ago, when my sister, t:rs. lUiz2.beti1 S. llrnc:Lo.r Bell, becai;ie interested in it and proposed to a"\.-nann it into a more complete and extensive form.

Bell, Dr. 1Iandl8;r sD.ys: I am coming to real­ ize that it is next to impossible to get all the facts and get them recorded correctly. (He has ac;1ieved the impossible in his ·•:ork. J About the best you can do, I think, is to use all reasonable precau­ tion to avoid errors, arrl then to put in a Preface or J."orevrord sor.ie statement to the effect that you. hcJ,ve striven (striven is a good word) diligently (or assi.duously J to secure acc7..'"'.'8.te infom.ation, but realizing the frailties of 11e.i,10:c-.1, and th,:t "to err is lrnman, 11 you beg the tender indulgence of the reader and requof'.t his assist­ ance in the correction of deficiencies vi,1ich may be recorded.

Said dates do not alvrays agree mth gravestones or obituaries, but ,·:hen once ·we have copied a narrc.tive, we have tried to be consistent in the spelling throughout the book. Finally, in this changing world it is practicall;T impossible for our grandc;1ildren to conceive the conditions that eristod in the days of their grandparents. Within my orm lifetime the telephone, the internal combustion engine, which made :oossible the auto:o.obile, the airpl2.ne, motion pictures, radio, television, the splitting of the atom, and many other inventions which 112:ve completely revolu­ tionized tra;1sportation and communication in America, have been in­ vented and developed and our whole manner of living and doing bus­ iness has changed. In the lifet:ime of ~r grandfather, B. F. Renick, the telegraph was invented and the railroad first used. The laws of God (spiritual and moral) and of Nature (physical and material) have not changed and cannot be changed. \'Ie ho.ve mere­ ly learned more about them and hovr to apply them, and vre call that invention. We are on the verge of discovering the more :important laws of the spirit. :S. F. Harlovr, Jr. Le::ington, Virginia, November 1951. THE RENICKS OF GREENBRIER The Name The name Renick"- Rennick or Remick (also found in the forms of Remich and RenichJ is believed by some etymologists to be derived from the residence of its first bearers at Renwick, a parish in County Cumberland, England, and it is certain that there was an early family of that name in Scotland and England. It may be observed, in connection with the British family of ·that name, that it is possible the Renicks of Scotland were descended from some Germanic Remich of a remote period, taken from the name of Remich in the Duchy of Luxemburg. Another authority has it that they came originally from northern Germany, and were the RHINEWICi~S who left Germany during the Reformation to escape religious perse­ cution. At any rate, the family was established in Scotland early in the 17th century, and some members joined the movement to North Ireland. The Rev. James RENWICK, the last Scottish Presbyterian Martyr to be burned at the stake at the Grassmarket in Edinburgh, 1688, was an only child and unmarried. His tomb is to been in :Elli.n­ burgh and he was an early member of this line. The inscription and epitaph upon the monument in the Greyfriars Clrnrchyard at lliinburgh reads: . JAMES RENWICK Halt, passenger, take heed what you do see, This torab doth shew, for what some men did die. Here lies interr 1d the dust of those who stood 1Gainst perjury, resisting unto blood: Adhering to the covenants, and laws Establishing the same; which was the cause Their lives were sacrific1d unto the lust Of Prelatists abjur 1d. Though here their dust Lies m:i.xt. with murderers, and other crew·, Whom justice did justly to death pursue; But as for these, no cause in them vras found Worthy of death, but only they were sound, Constant and steadfast, zealous, witnessing, For the prerogatives of Christ their King. 'Which truths were seal I d by famous Guthrie I s head, And all along to Mr. Renwick' s blood. They did endure the wrath of enemies, Reproaches, torments, deaths and injuries, But yet they're these who from such trouble came, And now triumph in glory with the Lamb. Thereafter follows this prose: ~"rom May 27, 1661, that the most noble Marquis of Argyle was be­ headed, to the 17th February 1688, that Mr. James Renwick suffered, were one way or other murdered and destroyed for the same cause about eighteen thousand, of whom were executed at Ed:j.nburgh a.bout an hundred of noblemen, gentlemen, ministers, and others, noble martyrs for Jesus Christ. The most of them lie here. (Ref~- Cloud of Witnesses - Wodrow 1 s, Crookshank's, and Defoe 1 s histories of the Church of Scotland, an:l 11 Scotch I:rish11 by Chas. Augustus Hanna, Vol. II. PP• 260-261.) The above monument was first erected by James Currie, merchant, Pentland, and other in 17o6; renewed in 1771. 2 THE RENICKS OF GREENBRIER Added to the monument at a subsequent date:- Yes, though the sceptic1 s tongue deride These martyrs '\'\no for conscience died­ Though modern history blight their fame, And sneering courtiers hoot the name Of men who dared above be free, Amidst a nation's slavery;- Yet long for them the poet 1 s lyre Shall wake its notes of heavenly fire; Their names shall nerve the patriot I s hand Upraised to save a sinking land; And piety shall learn to burn With holier transport's o'er their urn. One of the earliest definite records of the name is that of one Rennick or Renick (Christian name tmknO\m), a "Scotsman," ,mo was the father, about the middle of the 16th century, of a son named John, who removed from Scotland to Doncaster, in Yorkshire, England. He was mayor of that tovm before the year 1600. Of some prominence in Europe, where bearers of the name of Remick, Renick, Rennick, etc., were largely of the landed classes, the fam­ ily was represented among the earliest settlers in colonial .America. There were settlers of the name in the New England states as early as 1650. Among those of the name who fought in the War of the Revolution vrere Captain Timothy Remick of Massachusetts; Surgeon Ghristian Ileinich (?) of PennsylvaniaJ James Renick or Virginia; John, Samuel, Thomas and William Renick of Pennsylvania; Henry, John and Samuel Rennicks of Pennsylvania; Christopher, Daniel, Joseph, El.kanah, Freeman, James, John, Josiah, Nathaniel, Samuel and Truman Remich, or Remick of Massachusetts and Maine; and numerous others from the various States of that period. Characterized in general by vitality, patriotism, perseverance, leadership, a..11d, in same instances, literary ability, the Remicks, Ren(n)icks, and Renw:i.cks in America have contributed substantially to the growth and development of the nation. * * * * * The original RENICK Immigration to Pennsylvania was early in the 18th century.

  • 3000 Darwin Skeptics
    3000 Darwin Skeptics rae.org/essay-links/darwinskeptics Darwin Skeptics A Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who are Skeptical of Darwinism Compiled by Jerry Bergman PhD. It is commonly claimed that no scientist rejects macroevolution or Darwinism (by which is meant evolutionary naturalism, or the view that variation caused by mutations plus natural selection accounts for all life forms). For example, Dr. Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics at University College of London, wrote that “no scientist denies the central truth of The Origin, the idea of descent with modification… plants, animals and everything else descended from a common ancestor” (Jones, 2000, pp. xvii, xxiii). Other writers avoid the words “all” or “no scientist” and claim instead that “almost no scientist” rejects Darwinism as defined above. In an article refuting “wiccan creationism,” the author claimed that evolutionary theory has been confirmed to such a high degree and has such great explanatory power that it is the central organizing principle of the biological sciences today. Modern biology is basically unthinkable outside of the context of evolution and that is why it is accepted without reservations by pretty much every working scientists [sic] in the life sciences. It also isn’t really questioned in the other natural sciences, either, like physics or chemistry. The author then makes the following absolutist statement: Evolution is taken as a fact—and while there might be disagreements about some of the details of how evolution proceeds, there are no disagreements about the idea that it does occur and that it is the explanation for the diversity of life on our planet.
