Many reverend geologists, however, would evince their reverence for the divine Revelation by making a distinction between its historical and its moral portions; and maintaining, that the latter only is inspired and absolute Truth; but that the former is not so; and therefore is open to any latitude of philosophic and scientific interpretation, modification or denial! ... What the consequences of such things must be to a revelation-possessing land, time will rapidly and awfully unfold ***in its opening pages of*** national skepticism, infidelity, and apostacy [sic], and of God’s righteous vengeance on the same!
Does this mean "in its initial phases by way of"? How does this link to "time will rapidly and awfully unfold [what the consescuences of such things must be]"?

en la pagina 548 dice...Many reverend Geologists, however, would evince their reverence for the divine Revelation by
making a distinction between its historical and its moral portions; and maintaining, that the latter only
is inspired and absolute Truth; but that the former is not so; and therefore is open to any latitude of
philosophic and scientific interpretation, modification or denial! . . . According to these impious and
infidel modifiers and separators, there is not one third of the Word of God that is inspired; for not
more, nor perhaps so much, of that Word, is occupied in abstract moral revelation, instruction, and
precept. The other two thirds, therefore, are open to any scientific modification and interpretation; or,
(if scientifically required,) to a total denial! It may however be safely asserted, that whoever
professedly, before men, disbelieves the inspiration of any part of Revelation, disbelieves, in the sight
of God, its inspiration altogether. If such principles were permitted of the most High to proceed to
their ultimate drifts and tendencies, how long would they be sweeping all faith in revealed and
inspired Veracity from off the face of the earth?” . . . What the consequences of such things must be
to a revelation-possessing land, time will rapidly and awfully unfold in its opening pages of national
scepticism, infidelity, and apostacy [sic], and of God's righteous vengeance on the same!” [60, pp. ixx, 44-45 (footnote), emphasis in original].

Example sentence:
Mas o menos, hay gente que crean en la moralidad de Escritura, pero no crean literalmente en la veracidad cientivica de la Biblia.
El autor cree que no creer en la exactitud de la sciencia Biblia, sera apostacia, infidelidad a las creencias cristiana.
