,,the ,,evolution ,,of ,,man ,,scientifically ,,disproved ,,in #ej ,,arguments ,by ,,rev4 ,,william ,a4 ,,williams1 ,d4,d4 ,designed 7#a7 ,as an up-to-date text book1 and a companion to all other text books on evolution2 and 7#b7 ,as an antidote to books in libraries teaching evolution1 infidelity and atheism2 and 7#c7 ,as an aid to all students1 parents1 teachers1 ministers1 lawyers1 doctors1 and all other lovers of the truth4 ,,the ,,evolution ,,of ,,man ,,mathematically ,,disproved ,,introduction ,let it be understood1 at the outset1 that every proved theory of science is to be accepted4 ,only the most intense prejudice and the maddest folly would lead any one to reject the proved conclusions of science4 ,moreover1 we should examine any new hypothesis with open minds1 to see if it has in it anything truthful1 helpful or advantageous4 ,it should neither be accepted nor rejected simply because it is new4 ,but if a theory is evidently or probably untrue1 or pernicious1 or at all harmful1 it is to be rejected and condemned4 ,some facts and objections are herein submitted to the serious seeker after truth1 in the hope that a theory so out of harmony with the facts1 and so destructive to the faith and the cherished hopes of man1 may be completely discarded4 ,as ,evolution can not stand the acid test of mathematics1 it will be repudiated by all4 ,we shall discuss the theory upon its merits1 from a scientific standpoint1 and will also demand an explanation of all facts concerned1 as we have a right to do1 even where they are associated with the theological and the spiritual as well as the material4 ,we do not oppose true science but science falsely so called4 ,we do not ban research1 but will not allow the wild vagaries of the imagination to pass as truth4 ,we shall not declare arbitrarily that evolution is untrue2 neither will we allow scientists to decide what we shall believe4 ,but we shall appeal to the facts1 and evolution must stand or fall by the evidence4 ,evolution is not to be accepted until proved4 ,it is not yet proved and never will be4 ,,mathematics ,,the ,,acid ,,test4 ,every theory to which mathematics can be applied will be proved or disproved by this acid test4 ,figures will not lie1 and mathematics will not lie even at the demand of liars4 ,their testimony is as clear as the mind of ,god4 ,gravitation is proved a true theory by numerous calculations1 some of them the most abstruse4 ,the ,copernican theory is proved true1 and the ,ptolemaic theory false1 by mathematical calculations4 ,the calculations1 leading to the discovery of ,neptune1 went far to establish the ,copernican theory as well as the law of gravitation1 and to disprove the ,ptolemaic theory4 ,the evolution theory1 especially as applied to man1 likewise is disproved by mathematics4 ,the proof is overwhelming and decisive4 ,thus ,god makes the noble science of mathematics bear testimony in favor of the true theories and against the false theories4 ,we shall endeavor to marshal some of the mathematical proofs against the false and pernicious theory of evolution4 ,true theories1 such as the gravitation and ,copernican theories1 harmonize with each other as every branch of mathematics harmonizes with every other4 ,if evolution were true1 it would harmonize with all other true theories1 rather than with so many false theories4 ,,theories ,,of ,,evolution ,evolution in one sense1 means growth or development1--literally1 unrolling or unfolding4 ,it is difficult to give a clear definition that will apply to each of the various theories that are held4 ,theories differ vastly in the extent of their application1 as held by their various advocates1 resulting in great confusion of terms3-- #a4 ,the atheists believe that there is no ,god4 ,hence1 matter was not created1 but was eternal1 or came by chance4 ,only a mere handful of the whole human race have ever yet believed such an untenable doctrine4 ,the existence of a ,creator1 is doubted or denied by extreme atheistic evolutionists1 who would dethrone ,god1 exalt the monkey1 and degrade man4 #b4 ,the first of modern scientific men to adopt the theory that all plants and animals1 including man1 are developed from certain original simple germs1 was ,lamarck1 a ,french naturalist1 in #ahji4 ,he conceded that ,god created matter1--nothing more4 ,he believed in spontaneous generation1 which scientific investigation has utterly disproved4 #c4 ,darwin goes a step further and concedes there may have been a ,creator of matter1 and of one1 or at most1 a few germs1 from which all vegetation and all animals came by evolution1--all orders1 classes1 families1 genera1 species1 and varieties4 ,he differs from ,lamarck1 by allowing the creation of one germ1 possibly a few more4 ,he says in his ,origin of ,species1 ,i believe that animals are descended from at most only four or five progenitors2 and plants from an equal or lesser number4444 ,analogy would lead me one step further1 namely1 to the belief that all animals and plants are descended from one prototype4444 ,all the organic beings1 which have ever lived on the earth1 may be descended from some one primordial form4 ,darwin1 because of his great scholarship1 fairness1 and candor1 won for his theory more favor than it inherently deserves4 ,darwin taught that1 ,the lower impulses of vegetable life pass1 by insensible gradations1 into the instinct of animals and the higher intelligence of man1 without purpose or design4 ,none of these three hypotheses can admit the creation of man4 #d4 ,other evolutionists1 believing in the evolution of both plants and animals1 nevertheless refuse to believe in the evolution of man--the most baneful application of the whole theory4 ,even if there were convincing proof of the evolution of plants and animals from one germ1 there is no real proof of the evolution of man4 ,to prove this is the chief purpose of this book4 #e4 ,a fifth theory of evolution is held by many4 ,it is called polyphyletic evolution1 which means that ,god created numerous stocks1 or beginnings of both plant and animal life1 which were subject to change and growth1 deterioration and development1 according to his plan and purpose4 ,so much of evolution in this sense as can be proved1 is in harmony with the ,bible account of the creation of plants1 animals and man4 ,the false theory of evolution is called the monophyletic1 which teaches that all species of plants and animals including man1 developed from one cell or germ which came by creation or spontaneous generation4 ,evolution is used throughout this book in this latter sense1 unless otherwise indicated by the context4 ,god does not create by evolution1 for it can only develop what already exists4 ,this book is divided into three parts3 ,in ,part ,one1 material evolution1 especially the evolution of the human body1 is disproved4 ,in ,part ,two1 the alleged proofs of evolution are examined and refuted4 ,in ,part ,three1 the evolution of the soul is shown to be impossible4 ,there are in all fifty numbered arguments1 including answers to the arguments of evolutionists4 ,,part ,,one ,,the ,,evolution ,,of ,,the ,,human ,,body ,,mathematically ,,disproved ,any scientific theory or hypothesis must be proved first possible1 then probable1 then certain4 ,to be a possible theory1 it must be reconcilable with many facts2 to be a probable theory1 it must be reconcilable with many more2 to be a certain and proven theory1 it must be reconcilable with all the facts4 ,whenever it is irreconcilable with any fact1 it should be rejected1 as it can not be a true theory4 ,every true theory passes through these three stages1--possibility1 probability1 and certainty4 ,a theory is not science1 until it is certainly true1 and so becomes knowledge4 ,the evolution of man from the brute is in the throes of a desperate struggle to show that it may possibly be a true theory or hypothesis4 ,yet some who are ready to admit that they are scientists1 claim evolution a proven theory4 ,if it can be shown possible for man to have descended or ascended from the lower animals1 it will require enormous additional evidence to show that such descent is probable2 and still much more to make it certain4 ,every scientific theory1 proposed as possible1 is reconcilable with some facts4 ,otherwise1 it would not have been considered for a moment4 ,many false hypotheses have been proposed1 and accepted as possible and even probable1 because reconcilable with some facts4 ,the ,ptolemaic theory of the universe1 making the earth the centre1 around which the heavens revolved in great concentric spheres1 was accepted for #adjj years from ,a4 ,d4 #adj1 because it explained many things4 ,it corresponded with appearances4 ,it appealed to all4 ,its advocates had great difficulty in reconciling it with the motions of the planets1 which were therefore called planets or wanderers4 ,but in time the ,copernican theory prevailed1 because it was reconcilable with all the facts4 ,the evidence is so abundant that all claim it the true theory4 ,it is science4 ,it is knowledge4 ,because the ,copernican hypothesis1 the true theory of the universe1 was opposed and rejected1 it does not follow that the evolution of man is true because it is likewise opposed and rejected4 ,if this new theory1 hypothesis1 or guess stands1 it can only do so1 because it harmonizes with all the facts4 ,the law of gravitation1 and every other proven theory harmonizes with all the facts and with all other true theories4 ,it will be shown in this book1 that a large number of facts can not be reconciled with evolution1 especially the evolution of man1 thus proving that it can not be a true theory4 ,we really have a right to demand the proof of a theory1 and to refuse consent until proved4 ,while we are under no obligation to disprove an unproven theory1 yet it is the shortest way to settle the matter once for all1 before it has led multitudes more astray1 and wrecked the faith and hopes of the young4 ,prof4 ,h4 ,h4 ,newman1 in his ,readings in ,evolution1 p4 #eg1 says1 ,reluctant as we may be to admit it1 honesty compels the evolutionist to admit that there is no absolute proof of organic evolution4 ,if all the facts are in accord with it1 and none are found that are incapable of being reconciled with it1 a working hypothesis is said to have been advanced to a proven theory4 ,note this admission by a leading evolutionist4 ,even if it should ever be proved that all plant and animal life came by evolution from one primordial germ1 it would not follow that either the body or the soul of man came by evolution4 ,all the arguments against evolution in general are valid against the evolution of man4 ,in addition1 there are many other arguments1 that prove the evolution of man impossible1 even if the evolution of plants and animals should ever be proved possible4 ,in this volume1 the claim is made that the evolution of man is irreconcilable with a large number of facts4 ,if investigation proves that we have erred in any statement of facts1 or if our reasoning in any one argument or more is fallacious1 we will not lose our case1 as long as evolution remains irreconcilable with any other single fact4 ,if every argument in this book were invalid1 save one1 that one valid argument would overthrow evolution1 since every true theory must be reconcilable with all the facts4 ,one irreconcilable fact is sufficient to overthrow evolution4 ,and there are many6 ,,the ,,unity ,,of ,,the ,,human ,,race ,the evolution of man is not only a guess1 but a very wild one2 and it is totally unsupported by any convincing arguments4 ,it can be mathematically demonstrated to be an impossible theory4 ,every proof of the unity of the human race in the days of ,adam or ,noah shatters the theory of the evolution of man4 ,if the evolution of the human race be true1 there must have been1 hundreds of thousands of years ago1 a great multitude of heads of the race1 in many parts of the earth1 without one common language or religion4 ,the present population of the globe proves that mankind must have descended from one pair who lived not earlier than the time of ,noah4 ,the unity of languages also proves one common head about the same time4 ,certain beliefs and customs1 common to various religions1 point to one original ,god-given religion in historic time1 in contrast to the evolution idea of many religions invented by ape-men in millions of years4 ,the history of the world and the migration of nations point to one locality where the human race began in times not more remote1 and show that man was created in a civilized state1 and1 therefore1 never was a brute4 ,if evolution were true1 there would have been many billion times as many human beings as now exist1 a great multitude of invented languages with little or no similarity1 a vast number of invented religions with little1 if anything1 in common4 ,even the sciences invented and exploited by evolutionists1 the ,mendelian ,inheritance ,law and ,biometry1 also prove evolution impossible4 ,the unity of mankind is also conclusively shown by the fact that all races interbreed1 the most certain test of every species4 ,all these facts pointing to the unity of the race in the days of ,noah and of ,adam are irreconcilable with the theory of evolution which denies that unity within the last two million years4 ,we shall present these arguments more in detail4 ,the arguments immediately following1 especially the first eight1 show the unity of the human race in the days of ,noah1 and thus present insuperable objections to evolution1 and confirm the story of man's creation and his destruction by the flood4 ,the following is the first of fifty ,arguments against the evolution of man4 #a4 ,,the ,,population ,,of ,,the ,,world ,the population of the world1 based upon the ,berlin census reports of #aibb1 was found to be #a1hjd1ahg1jjj4 ,the human race must double itself #cj4ge times to make this number4 ,this result may be approximately ascertained by the following computation3-- ,at the beginning of the first period of doubling there would just be two human beings2 the second1 #d2 the third1 #h2 the fourth1 #af2 the tenth1 #ajbd2 the twentieth1 #a1jdh1egf1 the thirtieth1 #a1jgc1gda1hbd2 and the thirty-first1 #b1adg1dhc1fdh4 ,in other words1 if we raise two to the thirtieth power1 we have #a1jgc1gda1hbd2 or to the thirty-first power1 #b1adg1dhc1fdh4 ,therefore1 it is evident even to the school boy1 that1 to have the present population of the globe1 the net population must be doubled more than thirty times and less than thirty-one times4 ,by logarithms1 we find it to be #cj4ge times4 ,after all allowances are made for natural deaths1 wars1 catastrophes1 and losses of all kinds1 if the human race would double its numbers #cj4ge times1 we would have the present population of the globe4 ,now1 according to the chronology of ,hales1 based on the ,septuagint text1 #ejgg years have elapsed since the flood1 and #eagg years since the ancestors of mankind numbered only two1 ,noah and his wife4 ,by dividing #eagg by #cj4ge1 we find it requires an average of #afh4c years for the human race to double its numbers1 in order to make the present population4 ,this is a reasonable average length of time4 ,moreover1 it is singularly confirmed by the number of ,jews1 or descendants of ,jacob4 ,according to ,hales1 #chej years have passed since the marriage of ,jacob4 ,by the same method of calculation as above1 the ,jews1 who1 according to the ,jewish yearbook for #aibb1 number #ae1cic1hae1 must have doubled their numbers #bc4hgeh times1 or once every #afa4bea years4 ,the whole human race1 therefore1 on an average has doubled its numbers every #afh4c years2 and the ,jews1 every #afa4bea years4 ,what a marvelous agreement6 ,we would not expect the figures to be exactly the same nor be greatly surprised if one period were twice the other4 ,but their correspondence singularly corroborates the age of the human race and of the ,jewish people1 as gleaned from the word of ,god by the most proficient chronologists4 ,if the human race is #b1jjj1jjj years old1 the period of doubling would be #fe1jdj years1 or #djb times that of the ,jews1 which1 of course1 is unthinkable4 ,while the period of doubling may vary slightly in different ages1 yet there are few things so stable and certain as general average1 where large numbers and many years are considered1 as in the present case4 ,no life insurance company1 acting on general average statistics1 ever failed on that account4 ,the ,jews and the whole human race have lived together the same thirty-eight centuries with very little intermarriage1 and are affected by similar advantages and disadvantages1 making the comparison remarkably fair4 ,also1 the #be1jjj1jjj descendants of ,abraham must have doubled their numbers every #afb4bge years1 during the #c1ihh years since the birth of his son ,ishmael4 ,these periods of doubling which tally so closely1 #afh4c years for the whole race1 #afa4bea for the ,jews1 and #afb4bge years for the descendants of ,abraham1 cannot be a mere coincidence1 but are a demonstration against the great age of man required by evolution1 and in favor of the #e1agg years since ,noah4 ,none of the other various chronologies would make any material difference in these calculations4 ,the correspondence of these figures1 #afh4c1 #afa4bea and #afb4bge is so remarkable that it must bring the conviction to every serious student that the flood destroyed mankind and ,noah became the head of the race4 ,now the evolutionists claim that the human race is #b1jjj1jjj years old4 ,there is no good reason for believing that1 during all these years the developing dominant species would not increase as rapidly as the ,jews1 or the human race in historic times1 especially since the restraints of civilization and marriage did not exist4 ,but let us generously suppose that these remote ancestors1 beginning with one pair1 doubled their numbers in #afab4ea years1 one-tenth as rapidly as the ,jews1 or #abdj times in #b1jjj1jjj years4 ,if we raise #b to the #abdjth power1 the result is #ah1icb1aci1gcg1iia with #cfj figures following4 ,the population of the world1 therefore1 would have been #ah1icb1aci1gcg1iia decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion1 decillion2 or #ah1icb1aci1gcg1iia vigintillion1 vigintillion1 vigintillion1 vigintillion1 vigintillion1 vigintillion4 ,or1 let us suppose that man1 the dominant species1 originated from a single pair1 only #ajj1jjj years ago1 the shortest period suggested by any evolutionist 7and much too short for evolution7 and that the population doubled in #afab4ea years1 one-tenth the ,jewish rate of net increase1 a most generous estimate4 ,the present population of the globe should be #d1ffj1baj1bec1ach1bjd1cjj or #b1ebg1egj1gcc for every man1 woman and child6 ,in these calculations1 we have made greater allowances than any self-respecting evolutionist could ask without blushing4 ,and yet withal1 it is as clear as the light of day that the ancestors of man could not possibly have lived #b1jjj1jjj or #a1jjj1jjj or #ajj1jjj years ago1 or even #aj1jjj years ago2 for if the population had increased at the ,jewish rate for #aj1jjj years1 it would be more than two billion times as great as it is4 ,no guess that ever was made1 or ever can be made1 much in excess of #eagg years1 can possibly stand as the age of man4 ,the evolutionist cannot sidestep this argument by a new guess4 ,q4 ,e4 ,d4 ,all these computations have been made upon the supposition that the human race sprang from one pair4 ,if from many in the distant past1 as the evolutionists assert1 these bewildering figures must be enormously increased4 ,yet we are gravely told that evolution is science4 ,it is the wildest guess ever made to support an impossible theory4 ,that their guesses can not possibly be correct1 is proven also by approaching the subject from another angle4 ,if the human race is #b1jjj1jjj years old1 and must double its numbers #cj4ge times to make the present population1 it is plain that each period for doubling would be #fe1jdj years1 since #b1jjj1jjj_/cj4ge #fe1jdj4 ,at that rate1 there would be fewer than four ,jews6 ,if we suppose the race to have sprung from one pair #ajj1jjj years ago1 it would take #cbeb years to double the population4 ,at this rate1 there would be five ,jews6 ,do we need any other demonstration that the evolution of man is an absurdity and an impossibility8 ,if the evolutionists endeavor to show that man may have descended from the brute1 the population of the world conclusively shows that ,,man ,,certainly ,,did ,,not ,,descend ,,from ,,the ,,brute4 ,if they ever succeed in showing that all species of animals may have been derived from one primordial germ1 it is impossible that man so came4 ,he was created as the ,bible declares1 by the ,almighty ,power of ,god4 ,the testimony of all the experts in the famous ,scopes trial in ,tennessee 7who escaped cross-examination7 was to the effect that evolution was in harmony with some facts and therefore possibly true4 ,the above mathematical calculations prove that the evolution of man was certainly not true4 ,they fail to make their case even if we grant their claims4 ,these figures prove the ,bible story1 and scrap every guess of the great age and the brute origin of man4 ,it will be observed that the above calculations point to the unity of the race in the days of ,noah1 #eagg years ago1 rather than in the days of ,adam #gccc years ago1 according to ,hales' chronology4 ,if the race increased at the ,jewish rate1 not over #af1chd perished by the ,flood1 fewer than by many a modern catastrophe4 ,this most merciful providence of ,god started the race anew with a righteous head4 ,now1 if there had been no flood to destroy the human race1 then the descendants of ,adam1 in the #gccc years1 would have been #af1chd times the #a1hjd1ahg1jjj1 or #bi1eei1gii1hjh1jjj2 or computed at the ,jewish rate of net increase for #gccc years since ,adam1 the population would have been still greater1 or #ce1ahd1cgb1jhh1hcb4 ,these calculations are in perfect accord with the ,scripture story of the special creation of man1 and the destruction of the race by a flood4 ,had it not been for the flood1 the earth could not have sustained the descendants of ,adam4 ,is not this a demonstration1 decisive and final8 #b4 ,,the ,,unity ,,of ,,languages ,the unity of the languages of the world proves the recent common origin of man4 ,prof4 ,max ,muller1 and other renowned linguists1 declared that all languages are derived from one4 ,this is abundantly proven by the similarity of roots and words1 the grammatical construction and accidents1 the correspondence in the order of their alphabets1 etc4 ,the words for father and mother similar in form1 for example1 are found in many languages in all the five great groups1 the ,aryan1 the ,semitic1 the ,hamitic the ,turanian and ,chinese groups1 showing a common original language and proving the early existence of the home and civilization4 ,the similarity of these and many other words in all of the great ,aryan or ,indo-,european family of languages1 spoken in all continents is common knowledge4 ,lord ,avebury names #he ,hamitic languages in ,africa in which the names of father and mother are similar2 #bi non-,aryan languages in ,asia and ,europe1 including ,turkish1 ,thibetan1 and many of the ,turanian and ,chinese groups2 #e in ,new ,zealand and other ,islands2 #h in ,australia2 and #bj spoken by ,american ,indians4 ,the ,french1 ,italian1 ,spanish and ,portuguese are daughters of the ,latin2 ,latin is a daughter of the ,aryan2 and the ,aryan1 together with the other sister languages is1 no doubt1 the daughter of the original language spoken by ,noah and his immediate descendants4 ,there can not well be more than #d generations of languages1 and the time since ,noah is sufficient for the development of the #ajjj languages and dialects4 ,the ,american ,indians have developed about #bjj in #c1jjj or #d1jjj years4 ,the life of a language roughly speaking1 seems to range from #ajjj to #c1jjj years4 ,the time since ,noah is sufficient for the development of all the languages of the world4 ,but if man has existed for #b1jjj1jjj or #a1jjj1jjj years1 with a brain capacity ranging from #if to normal1 there would have been multiplied thousands of languages bearing little or no resemblance4 ,there is not a trace of all these languages4 ,they were never spoken because no one lived to speak them4 ,many linguists insist that the original language of mankind consisted of a few short words1 possibly not over #bjj1 since many now use only about #cjj4 ,the ,hebrew has only about #ejj root words of #c letters2 the stagnant ,chinese1 #dej2 the ,sanscrit1 about the same4 ,all the ,semitic languages have tri-literal roots4 ,as the tendency of all languages is to grow in the number and length of words1 these consisting of a few small words must have been close to the original mother tongue4 ,no language could have come down from the great antiquity required by evolution and have so few words4 ,johnson's ,eng4 ,dictionary had #eh1jjj words2 modern ,dictionaries over #cjj1jjj4 ,the evidence points to the origin and unity of languages in the days of ,noah1 and proves the great antiquity of man an impossibility and his evolution a pitiful absurdity4 #c4 ,,religions ,the unity of ancient religions proves the creation of man who received a divine revelation4 ,according to evolution1 all religions were evolved or invented by humanoids4 ,in that case1 we would expect them to be widely divergent2 and we would be surprised1 if they agreed on great and important points1 and especially on points which could not be clearly arrived at by reason4 ,for instance1 what in reason teaches us that an animal sacrifice is a proper way to worship ,god8 ,how could unassisted reason ever arrive at the conclusion that ,god is properly worshipped by sacrificing a sheep or an ox8 ,if we grant that one section of the anthropoid host might have stumbled on the idea1 how can we account for its prevalence or its universality8 ,a very high authority says1 ,sacrifices were common to all nations of antiquity1 and therefore1 traced by some to a personal revelation4 ,by revelation1 we learn that the animal sacrifice prefigured the ,lamb slain on ,calvary4 ,it was revealed4 ,no race of monkey-men could ever have invented the idea4 ,the most ancient nations worshipped ,god by sacrifices4 ,homer's ,iliad 7#ajjj ,b4 ,c47 and other works of ,grecian poets are full of it4 ,all the classics1 ,greek and ,latin1 are crowded with accounts of offerings4 ,the earliest records of the ,egyptians1 ,babylonians1 ,assyrians1 ,hindus and ,chinese speak of sacrifices long in vogue4 ,this unity of religions on the point of animal sacrifices bespeaks revelation and not evolution4 ,the division of time into weeks of #g days1 prevalent among the ancients1 suggests an ancient revelation in commemoration of creation as against evolution1 which denies creation4 ,the following statements from ,dr4 ,j4 ,r4 ,dummelow1 an eminent commentator1 show that the ,babylonians both divided time into weeks1 and offered sacrifices1 pointing to the unity of religions4 ,the ,babylonians observed the #gth1 #adth1 #bast and #bhth of each lunar month as days when men were subjected to certain restrictions2 the king was not to eat food prepared by fire1 nor offer sacrifice1 nor consult an oracle1 nor invoke curses on his enemies4 ,they also observed the #aith of each month4 ,it was customary1 therefore1 in the days of ,abraham1 for the ,babylonians to offer sacrifices and to observe the #gth day as especially sacred4 ,this can only be accounted for upon the assumption1 that ,god had revealed to the human race that creation occupied #f days or periods1 and the #gth was to be observed1--all of which was doubtless handed down by tradition4 ,there were priests and temples in the most ancient empire known4 ,dr4 ,dummelow says3 ,it is now widely admitted that the ,genesis account of creation contains elements of belief which existed perhaps thousands of years before the book of ,genesis was written1 among the peoples of ,babylonia and ,assyria4 ,many of the primeval revelations were handed down by tradition4 ,god communed with ,adam4 ,there are many relics of the original religion3 the division of time into weeks1 and the institution of the ,sabbath day2 the sacrifices so common in the ancient religions2 the general existence of priests and temples in all ages1 and among all nations2 marriage1 the divinely authorized pillar of society2 the early institution of the family1 and the use of the root words for father and mother1 in all the most ancient languages1 and families of languages1 as well as in the scattered languages of the earth spoken by the most savage4 ,the belief in the immortality of the soul1 is well nigh universal1 even among tribes1 who1 unlike ,plato1 possess no power to reason it from the light of nature4 ,in contrast1 we behold the sorry spectacle of the anthropoid evolutionists of our day trying to drive from the hearts of men the hope of immortality by their science falsely so-called4 ,the burial of the dead is1 no doubt1 a relic1 since animals1 even of the monkey tribe1 do not bury their dead4 #d4 ,,place ,,of ,,the ,,origin ,,of ,,man ,the unity of the human race is further proved by the fact that it originated in one locality and not in many4 ,the locality is the one described by ,moses4 ,and the fact that ,moses correctly located the beginning of the race1 when he himself had no personal knowledge1 proves that he was inspired and taught of ,god4 ,he never could have guessed the spot to which history and the migration of nations point1 and which the evolutionists themselves are obliged to concede4 ,the habitable countries of the world total #ej1fgj1hcg sq4 mi4 ,we are making a generous estimate1 when we suppose the garden of ,eden to have been #ajj mi4 wide and #abe mi4 long1--#ab1ejj sq4 mi4 ,there are #djje such areas in the habitable globe4 ,it is located in ,mesopotamia on the ,tigris and ,euphrates rivers4 ,maps of ancient nations show that mankind radiated from this centre4 ,the great nations of antiquity were clustered about it4 ,the beginning of the race after the flood was in the same general locality4 ,ridpath in his great history of the world1 graphically shows the migrations of races and nations4 ,with this1 even evolutionists agree4 ,they draw a line according to ,giddings1 running through western ,asia1 in the region of the garden of ,eden4 ,since there are #djje such areas in the habitable globe1 ,moses had only one chance out of #djje to guess the spot1 if he had not been inspired of ,god4 ,anyone guessing1 might have located the origin of man in any of the countries of ,europe1 ,asia or ,africa4 ,this clearly demonstrates that ,god revealed the truth to ,moses1 and that the story of creation is true and of evolution false4 ,if evolution were true1 there must have been1 #f1jjj years ago1 many heads to the race1 in many places4 ,it is incredible that there would be but one spot where brutes became humans4 ,there would be an innumerable host of anthropoid brutes1 in many parts of the world1 in all gradations4 ,who can believe that one species or one pair forged ahead so far as to become human8 #e4 ,,civilizations ,the early civilization of man points to his creation1 not his evolution4 ,evolution requires many centers of civilization2 creation1 only one4 ,of course1 if man is descended from an ancient ape-like form1 and from the ,primates and their brute progeny1 he must have been as uncivilized and brutish as any baboon or gorilla today1 or the apes1 which1 last year1 horribly mangled the children at ,sierra ,leone4 ,he must have worked his way up into civilization4 ,the records1 as far back as they go1 prove that the original condition of man was a state of civilization1 not savagery4 ,man fell down1 not up4 ,the recent explorations in the tomb of ,tutankhamen1 in ,egypt1 and the more recent explorations of the tomb of a still more ancient ,egyptian monarch1 show that a high degree of civilization prevailed from #bjjj to #acjj ,b4,c4 ,the art displayed in the carvings and paintings1 and the skill of the artisans are beyond praise4 ,they had knowledge even of what are now lost arts4 ,they had a written language #cjj years before ,homer wrote his immortal ,iliad4 ,yet many higher critics claim that writing was unknown in the days of ,moses and ,homer4 ,they declare that the ,iliad1 a poem in #bd books1 was committed to memory1 and handed down from generation to generation1 #djj years with all its fine poetic touches4 ,monstrous alternative6 ,indeed we are even told that ,many men must have served as authors and improvers4 ,the mob of reciters improved the great epic of ,homer6 ,scarcely less brilliant is the suggestion of another higher critic that1 ,homer's ,iliad was not composed by ,homer1 but by another man of the same name6 ,the laws of ,hammurabi1 who is identified as the ,amraphel of ,scripture1 ,gen4 #ad3a1 and who was contemporary with ,abraham1 were in existence many hundred years before ,moses1 and showed a high state of civilization1 which began many hundred years before ,abraham4 ,the literature of ,china goes back to #bjjj ,b4 ,c4 ,the earliest civilization of ,china1 ,egypt1 ,assyria1 and ,babylonia1 reaching to #bejj ,b4,c41 or earlier1 points to a still earlier civilization1 which likely reaches back to the origin of the human race4 ,it is admitted that the earliest 7,sumerian7 civilization began on the ,euphrates1 near the garden of ,eden4 ,they had temples and priests1 and1 therefore1 religion prevailed as well as civilization4 ,the first great empires clustered around the places where ,adam and ,noah lived4 ,no other civilization recorded in any quarter reaches farther back4 ,we quote from the ,new ,international ,encyclopedia3 ,the ,sumerian language is probably the oldest known language in the world4 ,from the ,sumerian vocabulary1 it is evident that the people who spoke this language had reached a comparatively high civilization4 ,the monuments show that in early historical times1 man was in a state of civilization4 ,there are no monuments of man's civilization prior to historical time4 ,higher critics have said that ,moses could not have written the ,pentateuch because writing was unknown in his day4 ,yet ,prof4 ,a4 ,h4 ,sayce1 ,d4,d41 ,,ll4,d41 of ,oxford ,university1 one of the greatest archaeologists the world ever knew1 writes3 ,egypt was the first to deliver up its dead4 ,under an almost rainless sky1 where frost is unknown1 and the sand seals up all that is entrusted to its keeping1 nothing perishes except by the hand of man4 ,the fragile papyrus1 inscribed it may be #e1jjj years ago1 is as fresh and legible as when its first possessor died4 ,in ,egypt1 as far back as the monuments carry us1 we find a highly-developed art1 a highly organized government1 and a highly-educated people4 ,books were multiplied1 and if we can trust the translation of the ,proverbs of ,ptah-hotep1 the oldest existing book in the world1 there were competitive examinations1 civil service6 already in the age of the sixth ,egyptian ,dynasty4444 ,we have long known that the use of writing for literary purposes is immensely old in both ,egypt and ,babylonia4 ,egypt was emphatically a land of scribes and readers4 ,already in the days of the ,old ,empire1 the ,egyptian hieroglyphs had developed into a cursive hand4 ,from the ,tel el-,amarna tablets1 discovered in ,upper ,egypt1 we know that for #ajj years people were corresponding with each other1 in the language of ,babylonia in cuneiform characters4 ,libraries existed then1 and ,canaan in the ,mosaic age1 was fully as literary as was ,europe in the time of the ,renaissance4 ,ancient ,babylonian monuments testify to the existence of an ancient literary culture4 ,the results of the excavations by the ,american ,expedition1 published by ,prof4 ,hilprecht1 of the ,u4 of ,pa41 show that in the time of ,king ,sargon of ,accad1 art and literature flourished in ,chaldea4 ,the region of the garden of ,eden was the pivot of the civilization of the world4 ,from this region radiated the early civilization of ,babylonia1 ,assyria and ,egypt4 ,and the advanced degree implies centuries of prior civilization4 ,the origin of man and the earliest civilization occurred in the same region4 ,ur explorations 7#aibg7 show high art1 #cjjj ,b4,c4 ,the earliest records show man was civilized4 ,he lived in houses1 cities and towns1 read and wrote1 and engaged in commerce and industry4 ,to be sure1 he did not have the inventions of modern times4 ,if all these were necessary1 then there was no civilization prior to the #bjth century4 ,prof4 ,j4 ,arthur ,thompson1 of ,aberdeen1 an evolutionist1 says3 ,modern research is leading us away from the picture of primitive man as brutish1 dull1 lascivious and bellicose4 ,there is more justification for regarding primitive man as clever1 kindly1 adventurous and inventive4 ,it is admitted that cannibalism was not primeval4 ,the two great revolting crimes of barbarism1 cannibalism and human sacrifices1 only prevailed when man had fallen to the lowest depths1 not when he had risen out of savagery to the heights4 ,the assertion that man was originally a brute1 savage and uncivilized is pure fiction1 unsupported by the facts4 ,the original civilization of mankind supports the ,bible1 and upsets evolution4 #f4 ,,the ,,mendelian ,,inheritance ,,law ,the unity of the human race is further established by ,mendel's ,inheritance ,discovery on which evolutionists so much rely4 ,g4 ,mendel1 an experimenter1 found that when he crossed a giant variety of peas with a dwarf variety1 the off-spring were all tall4 ,the giants were called dominant2 the disappearing dwarfs1 recessive4 ,but among the second generation of this giant offspring1 giants and dwarfs appeared in the proportion of #c to #a4 ,but when these dwarfs were self-fertilized1 successive generations were all dwarfs4 ,the recessive character was not lost1 but appeared again4 ,experiments with flowers likewise show that the recessive color will reappear4 ,also experiments with the interbreeding of animals have shown similar results4 ,the recessive or disappearing characteristics1 or the disappearing variety1 will appear again1 in some subsequent generation1 and sometimes becomes permanent4 ,this law prevails widely in nature1 and the recessive traits appear with the dominant traits4 ,if rose-combed fowl were mated with single-combed fowl1 the offspring were all rose-combed1 but when these rose-combed fowl were mated1 the offspring were again rose-combed and single-combed4444 ,if gray rabbits were mated with black rabbits1 their hybrids were all gray1 the black seemingly disappearing1 but when the second generation were mated1 the progeny were again grays and blacks4--,god or ,gorilla--p4 #bgh4 ,the recessive character always reappears4 ,apply these widely prevalent laws to dominant man and his recessive alleged brute ancestor4 ,the simian characteristics would appear in some generations1 if not in many4 ,we would expect many offspring to have the recessive character of the ape1 and we ought not to be surprised1 if some recessive stock became permanent4 ,following analogy1 we ought to look for a tribe of human beings that had degenerated into apes4 ,that we find no such recessive characteristics even among the most degenerate savages1 and no such ape-like tribe of human beings1 is a decisive proof that man never descended from the brute4 ,else such recessive characteristics1 according to the ,mendelian ,law1 would be sure to appear4 ,we would also find monkeys and apes1--the recessive species--descended from man4 #g4 ,,biometry ,even new sciences1 founded by evolutionists1 bear witness against their theory4 ,mendel's ,inheritance ,law is one1 as we have seen2 ,biometry is another4 ,it was proposed and advocated by ,sir ,francis ,galton1 a cousin of ,charles ,darwin4 ,he expected it to be a great prop to evolution2 on the other hand1 it is another proof of the unity of our race in ,noah's day1 and hence fatal to their theory4 ,biometry is defined to be the statistical study of variation and heredity4 ,it bears heavily against the great age of man4 ,one of the leading exponents of ,biometry1 ,dr4 ,c4,b4 ,davenport1 ,secretary of the ,eugenics section of the ,american ,breeders' ,association concludes that ,no people of ,english descent are more distantly related than thirtieth cousin1 while most people are more nearly related than that4 ,professor ,conklin1 of ,princeton ,university1 approves this conclusion1 and adds1 ,as a matter of fact most persons of the same race are much more closely related than this1 and certainly we need not go back to ,adam nor even to ,shem1 ,ham or ,japheth to find our common ancestor4 ,dr4 ,davenport1 therefore1 says that the ,english may find a common ancestor thirty-two generations ago2 ,professor ,conklin admits that we need not go further back than ,noah to find a common ancestor of all mankind4 ,noah1 therefore1 must have been the head of the race4 ,evolutionists admit we need go no farther back than ,noah to find the head of the race1 and the population1 as we have seen1 proves the same thing1 and disproves every guess they have made of the great age of man4 ,we have descended from ,noah and not from the brute4 ,this same ,professor ,conklin says that our race began #b1jjj1jjj years ago 7#fj1jjj generations74 ,how is it possible that we must go back sixty thousand generations for a common ancestor1 when thirty-two generations will suffice for the ,english1 and about #bjj generations since ,noah1 for the whole race8 ,if we1 by the laws of biometry1 can find a common ancestor in ,noah1 we can not possibly go back #b1jjj1jjj years to find one4 ,professor ,conklin's admission refutes his claim of #b1jjj1jjj years for man4 ,biometry proves that age absolutely impossible4 ,if the progeny of this ape-like ancestor inter-bred for many generations1--as certainly would have been the case--then we are not only descended from all the monkey family1 the baboon1 gorilla1 ape1 chimpanzee1 orang-utang lemur 7,h4 ,g4 ,wells' ancestor71 mongoose1 etc41 but are also related to all their progeny4 ,glorious ancestors6 ,in our veins runs the blood of them all1 as well as the blood of the most disgusting reptiles4 ,and yet ,professor ,h4 ,h4 ,newman1 an eminent evolutionist1 in a letter to the writer1 says1 ,the evolution idea is an ennobling one46 ,but biometry saves us from such repulsive forbears1 by proving it could not be so4 ,biometrists find that there is a ,law of ,filial ,regression1 or a tendency to the normal in every species1 checking the accumulation of departures from the average1 and forbidding the formation of new species by inheritance of peculiarities4 ,the whole tendency of the laws of nature is against the formation of new species1 so essential to evolution4 ,the species brings forth still after its kind4 ,on the average1 extreme peculiarities of parents are less extreme in children4 ,the stature of adult offspring must1 on the whole1 be more mediocre than the stature of the parents4 ,gifted parents rarely have children as highly gifted as themselves4 ,the tendency is to revert to the normal in body and mind4 ,nature discourages the formation of new species1 evolutionists to the contrary notwithstanding4 ,like produces like is a universal and unchangeable law4 ,god has forbidden species to pass their boundaries2 and1 if any individual seems to threaten to do so1 by possessing abnormal peculiarities1 these are soon corrected1 often in the next generation4 ,even ,professor ,h4 ,h4 ,newman says1 ,on the whole1 the contributions of biometry to our understanding of the causes of evolution are rather disappointing4 ,a science that upsets evolution is certainly disappointing to evolutionists4 #h4 ,,no ,,new ,,species ,,now ,they tell us that #c1jjj1jjj species of plants and animals developed from one primordial germ1 in #fj1jjj1jjj years4 ,how many new species should have arisen in the last #f1jjj years8 ,now #bj doublings of the first species of animals would make #a1jdh1egf species1 since #b raised to the #bjth power becomes #a1jdh1egf4 ,again we will favor the evolutionists1 by omitting from the calculation all species of animals in excess of #a1jdh1egf4 ,therefore1 on an average1 each of the #bj doublings would take #a_/bj of #fj1jjj1jjj years1 or #c1jjj1jjj years2 and1 therefore1 #a_/b of the entire #a1jdh1egf species1 or #ebd1bhh species1 must have originated within the last #c1jjj1jjj years4 ,can that be the case8 ,certainly not4 ,and since the number of species must have increased in a geometrical ratio1 #bjig species must have arisen or matured within the last #fjjj years--an average of one new species of animals every #c years4 ,how many species actually have arisen within the last #fjjj years8 #bjjj8 #bjj8 or #b8 ,it is not proven that a single new species has arisen in that time4 ,not one can be named4 ,if approximately #bjjj new species have not arisen in the last #fjjj years1 the evolution of species can not possibly be true4 ,even ,darwin says3 ,in spite of all the efforts of trained observers1 not one change of species into another is on record4 ,sir ,william ,dawson1 the great ,canadian geologist1 says3 ,no case is certainly known in human experience where any species of animal or plant has been so changed as to assume all the characteristics of a new species4 ,indeed1 a high authority says3 ,though1 since the human race began1 all sorts of artificial agencies have been employed1 and though there has been the closest scrutiny1 yet not a distinctively new type of plant or animal1 on what is called broad lines1 has come into existence4 ,not a single new species has arisen in the last #fjjj years when the theory requires over #bjjj4 ,evolutionists admit this4 ,prof4 ,vernon ,kellogg1 of ,leland ,stanford ,university1 in his ,darwinism of ,today1 p4 #ah1 says3--,speaking by and large1 we only tell the general truth when we declare that no indubitable cases of species forming1 or transforming1 that is1 of descent1 have been observed4444 ,for my part1 it seems better to go back to the old and safe ignoramus standpoint4 ,prof4 ,h4 ,h4 ,newman1 of ,chicago ,university1 in answer to the writer's question1 ,how many new species have arisen in the last #fjjj years8 wrote this evasive reply3 ,i do not know how to answer your questions4444 ,none of us know just what a species is4 ,if so1 how could #c1jjj1jjj species be counted1 the number1 he says1 exists84444 ,it is difficult to say just when a new species has arisen from an old4 ,he does not seem to know of a single new species within the last #f1jjj years4 ,the same question was asked of ,dr4 ,osborn1 of ,columbia ,university1 ,n4 ,y4 ,the answer by ,r4 ,c4 ,murphy1 assistant1 was equally indefinite4 ,he wrote3 ,from every point of view1 your short note of ,aug4 #bbnd raises questions1 which no scientific man can possibly answer4 ,we have very little knowledge as to just when any particular species of animal arose4 ,in a later letter1 he says3 ,i have no idea whether the number of species which have arisen during the last #fjjj years is #a or #ajj1jjj4 ,should those who do not know speak so confidently in favor of evolution1 or take the old and safe ignoramus standpoint1 as ,prof4 ,kellogg suggests8 ,the number of existing species can not be explained upon the ground of evolution1 but only upon the ground of the creation of numerous heads of animal and plant life1 as the ,scriptures declare4 ,we have a right to increase the pressure of the argument1 by introducing into the calculation1 the total of #c1jjj1jjj species of plants and animals which would require #fcee new species within the last #fjjj years1 or an average of more than one new species a year6 ,and they can not point to one new species in #fjjj years1 as they confess4 ,dr4 ,j4 ,b4 ,warren1 of the ,university of ,california1 said recently3 ,if the theory of evolution be true1 then1 during many thousands of years1 covered in whole or in part by present human knowledge1 there would certainly be known at least a few instances of the evolution of one species from another4 ,no such instance is known4 ,prof4 ,owen declares1 ,no instance of change of one species into another has ever been recorded by man4 ,prof4 ,william ,bateson1 the distinguished ,english biologist1 said1 ,it is impossible for scientists longer to agree with ,darwin's theory of the origin of species4 ,no explanation whatever has been offered to account for the fact that1 after forty years1 no evidence has been discovered to verify his genesis of species4 ,although scientists have so largely discarded ,darwin's theory1 the utter lack of new species in historic time1 when so many are required by every theory of evolution1 is a mathematical demonstration that the whole theory of evolution must be abandoned4 ,q4 ,e4 ,d4 ,why do they still insist it may be true8 #i4 ,,mathematical ,,probability ,mathematical ,probability is a branch or division of mathematics by means of which the odds in favor or against the occurrence of any event may be definitely computed1 and the measure of the probability or improbability exactly determined4 ,its conclusions approximate certainty and reveal how wild the guesses of evolutionists are4 ,the evolution of species violates the rule of mathematical probability4 ,it is so improbable that one and only one species out of #c1jjj1jjj should develop into man1 that it certainly was not the case4 ,all had the same start1 many had similar environments4 ,yet witness the motly products of evolution3 ,man1 ape1 elephant1 skunk1 scorpion1 lizard1 lark1 toad1 lobster1 louse1 flea1 amoeba1 hookworm1 and countless microscopic animals2 also1 the palm1 lily1 melon1 maize1 mushroom1 thistle1 cactus1 microscopic bacilli1 etc4 ,all developed from one germ1 all in some way related4 ,mark well the difference in size between the elephant1 louse1 and microscopic hookworm1 and the difference in intellect between man and the lobster6 ,while all had the same start1 only one species out of #c1jjj1jjj reached the physical and intellectual and moral status of man4 ,why only one8 ,why do we not find beings equal or similar to man1 developed from the cunning fox1 the faithful dog1 the innocent sheep1 or the hog1 one of the most social of all animals8 ,or still more from the many species of the talented monkey family8 ,out of #c1jjj1jjj chances1 is it not likely that more than one species would attain the status of man8 ,romanes1 a disciple of ,darwin1 after collecting the manifestations of intelligent reasoning from every known species of the lower animals1 found that they only equaled altogether the intelligence of a child #ae months old4 ,then man has easily #aj1jjj1jjj times as much power to reason as the animals1 and easily #aj1jjj1jjj1jjj times as much conscience4 ,why have not many species filled the great gap between man and the brute8 ,out of #c1jjj1jjj births1 would we expect but one male8 ,or one female8 ,out of #c1jjj1jjj deaths1 would we expect all to be males but one8 ,to be sure1 all the skeletons and bones found by evolutionists belong to males except one4 ,strange6 ,if #c1jjj1jjj pennies were tossed into the air1 would we expect them all to fall with heads up1 save one8 ,the ,revolutionary war1 out of #c1jjj1jjj people1 developed one great military chieftain1 but many more approximating his ability2 one or more great statesmen with all gradations down to the mediocre2 scholars and writers1 with others little inferior2 but there was no overtowering genius #aj1jjj1jjj or #aj1jjj1jjj1jjj times as great as any other4 ,we would be astonished beyond measure1 if any great genius should rise in any nation as far ahead of all others1 as the species of mankind is ahead of all other species4 ,it is unthinkable that one species and only one reached the measureless distance between the monkey and man4 ,it violates mathematical probability4 ,we have a right to expect1 in many species and in large numbers1 all gradations of animals between the monkey and man in size1 intellect1 and spirituality4 ,where are the anthropoids and their descendants alleged to have lived during the #b1jjj1jjj years of man's evolution8 ,they can not be found living or dead4 ,they never existed4 ,creation alone explains the great gap4 ,what signs have we that other species will ever approximate1 equal or surpass man in attainments8 ,can we hope that1 in the far distant future1 a baboon will write an epic equal to ,milton's ,paradise ,lost1 or a bull-frog compose an oratorio surpassing ,handel's ,messiah8 ,we find all gradations of species in size from the largest to the smallest4 ,why not the same gradation in intelligence1 conscience and spirituality8 ,the difference in brain1 capacity and intelligence between man and the ape is #ej greater than the difference in size between the elephant and the housefly4 ,there are many thousands of species to fill the gap in size4 ,why not many thousands to fill the greater gap in intelligence8 ,evidently no species became human by growth4 ,many species like the amoeba1 and the microscopic disease germs1 have not developed at all but are the same as ever4 ,many other species of the lower forms of life have remained unchanged during the ages4 ,if the tendency is to develop into the higher forms of life1 why do we have so many of those lower forms which have remained stationary8 ,growth1 development1 evolution1 is not1 by any means1 a universal rule4 ,evolution is not universally true in any sense of the term4 ,why are not fishes now changing into amphibians1 amphibians into reptiles1 reptiles into birds and mammals1 and monkeys into man8 ,if growth1 development1 evolution1 were the rule1 there would be no lower order of animals for all have had sufficient time to develop into the highest orders4 ,many have remained the same2 some have deteriorated4 ,and now we have a new amendment to the theory of evolution3 ,we are told that the huge ,saurians 7reptiles7 overworked the development idea1 and became too large and cumbersome1 and hence are now extinct4 ,prof4 ,cope says3--,retrogression in nature is as well established as evolution4 ,it seems that man also has1 contrary to all former conceptions1 reached the limit of his development1 if he has not already gone too far4 ,prof4 ,r4 ,s4 ,lull says1 7,readings p4 #ie7 ,man's physical evolution has virtually ceased1 but in so far as any change is being effected1 it is largely retrogressive4 ,such changes are3 ,reduction of hair and teeth1 and of hand skill2 and dulling of the senses of sight1 smell and hearing upon which active creatures depend so largely for safety4 ,that sort of charity which fosters the physically1 mentally and morally feeble1 and is thus contrary to the law of natural selection1 must also1 in the long run1 have an adverse effect upon the race4 ,too bad that ,christian charity takes care of the feeble1 endangering evolution1 and the doctrine that the weak have no rights that the strong are bound to respect6 ,we are not surprised that ,nietzsche1 whose insane philosophy that might is right1 helped to bring on the world war1 died in an insane asylum4 ,after all1 evolution is not progress and development1 but retrogression and deterioration as well4 ,but evolutionists1 compelled by the requirements of their theory1 have added another amendment1 which will seem ridiculous to some3 ,environment has had an evolution as well as plants and animals6 ,having denied the existence of ,god1 or his active control and interference1 they must account for environment by evolution4 ,listen3--,henderson points out that environment1 no less than organisms1 has had an evolution4 ,water1 for example1 has a dozen unique properties that condition life4 ,carbon dioxide is absolutely necessary to life4 ,the properties of the ocean are so beautifully adjusted to life that we marvel at the exactness of its fitness4 ,yet no design64 ,finally1 the chemical properties of carbon1 hydrogen and oxygen are equally unique and unreplaceable4 ,the evolution of environment and the evolution of organisms have gone hand in hand4 ,and all by blind chance6 ,is it not a thousand times better to believe that all things were created by an all-wise and all powerful ,god8 ,how could a lifeless environment come by evolution8 ,if we would listen to them1 we would be told that the ocean1 the atmosphere1 heat1 light1 electricity1 all the elements1 the starry heavens1 and all the universe1 and religion itself1 came by evolution1 some grudgingly granting that ,god may have created matter in the beginning4 ,it is unreasonable to believe that one species and only one out of #c1jjj1jjj by evolution should attain the status of mankind2 and that one species and only one species of the primates should reach the heights of intelligence1 reason1 conscience and spirituality4 ,huxley says1 ,there is an enormous gulf1 a divergence practically infinite1 between the lowest man and the highest beast4 ,to declare that our species alone crossed this measureless gulf1 while our nearest relatives have not even made a fair start1 is an affront to the intelligence of the thoughtful student4 ,it does fierce violence to the doctrine of mathematical probability4 ,it could not have happened4 #aj4 ,,the ,,age ,,of ,,the ,,earth ,the estimates of the age of the world vary from #af1jjj1jjj years to #ajj times this number or #a1fjj1jjj1jjj years4 ,even ,h4,g4 ,wells admits these estimates rest nearly always upon theoretical assumptions of the slenderest kind4 ,this is undoubtedly true of the reckless estimates of evolutionists1 whose theory requires such an enormous length of time that science can not concede it4 ,prof4 ,h4,h4 ,newman says1 ,the last decade has seen the demise 787 of the outworn 787 objection to evolution1 based on the idea that there has not been time enough for the great changes that are believed by evolutionists to have occurred4 ,given #ajj1jjj1jjj or #a1jjj1jjj1jjj years since life began we can then allow #a1jjj1jjj years for each important change to arise and establish itself4 ,an objection is not outworn until answered1 and to speak of the demise of a generally accepted theory is hardly scientific4 ,we will not allow the evolutionist to dismiss so weighty an objection with a wave of the hand4 ,prof4 ,newman1 in his ,readings in ,evolution1 p4 #fh1 gives #fj1jjj1jjj years as the probable time since life began4 ,the writer1 having based arguments upon that assumption1 was surprised to receive a private letter from him claiming that life has existed for #ejj1jjj1jjj years4 ,indeed ,prof4 ,russell1 of ,princeton1 says1 in his ,rice ,lectures1 that the earth is probably #d1jjj1jjj1jjj years old1 possibly #h1jjj1jjj1jjj6 ,we can do nothing but gasp1 while the bewildering guesses come in1 and we wait for the next estimate4 ,we note their utter abandon1 as they make a raid on ,god's eternity to support a theory that would dethrone ,him4 ,but these extravagantly long periods required by the theory1 science cannot grant1 for the following reasons3-- #a4 ,according to the nebular hypothesis1 and ,helmholtz's contraction theory1 accounting for the regular supply of heat from the sun1 the sun itself is not likely more than #bj1jjj1jjj years old1 and1 of course1 the earth is much younger4 ,both of these theories are quite generally accepted by scientists1 and have much to support them4 ,prof4 ,young1 of ,princeton1 in his ,astronomy1 p4 #aef1 says1 ,the solar radiation can be accounted for on the hypothesis first proposed by ,helmholtz1 that the sun is shrinking slowly but continually4 ,it is a matter of demonstration that an annual shrinkage of about #cjj feet in the sun's diameter would liberate sufficient heat to keep up its radiation without any fall in its temperature4444 ,the sun is not simply cooling1 nor is its heat caused by combustion2 for1 ,if the sun were a vast globe of solid anthracite1 in less than #e1jjj years1 it would be burned to a cinder4 ,we quote from ,prof4 ,young's ,astronomy3 ,we can only say that while no other theory yet proposed meets the conditions of the problem1 this contraction theory appears to do so perfectly1 and therefore has high probability in its favor4 ,no conclusion of ,geometry1 he continues1 is more certain than this1--that the shrinkage of the sun to its present dimensions1 from a diameter larger than that of the orbit of ,neptune1 the remotest of the planets1 would generate about #ah1jjj1jjj times as much heat as the sun now radiates in a year4 ,hence1 if the sun's heat has been and still is wholly due to the contraction of its mass1 it can not have been radiating heat at the present rate1 on the shrinkage hypothesis1 for more than #ah1jjj1jjj years2 and on that hypothesis1 the solar system in anything like its present condition1 can not be much more than as old as that4 ,if so1 evolution1 on account of lack of time1 can not possibly be true4 ,if we add many millions of years to this number1 or double it more than once1 the time is not yet sufficient4 ,for if the sun is #be1jjj1jjj1 or even #ej1jjj1jjj years old1 by the time the planets are thrown off1 in turn1 from ,neptune to the earth1 and then the earth cooled sufficiently for animal life1 only a few million years would be left for evolution1 a mere fraction of the time required4 ,this is a mathematical demonstration that evolution can not be true4 ,the same calculations1 #ah1jjj1jjj to #bj1jjj1jjj years1 have been made by ,lord ,kelvin1 ,prof4 ,todd and other astronomers4 #b4 ,the thickness of the earth's crust is fatal to the theory of the great age of the earth1 required by evolution4 ,the temperature increases as we descend into the earth1 about one degree for every #ej feet1 or #ajj degrees per mile4 ,therefore1 at #b mi41 water would boil2 at #ah mi41 glass would melt 7#ahej72 at #bh mi41 every known substance would melt 7#bgjj74 ,hence the crust is not likely more than #bh miles thick1--in many places less4 ,rev4 ,o4 ,fisher has calculated that1 if the thickness of the earth's crust is #ag4e mi41 as indicated by the ,san ,francisco earthquake1 the earth is #e1bfb1agj years old4 ,if the crust is #ba4ia mi4 thick1 as others say1 the age would be #h1bdh1chj years4 ,lord ,kelvin1 the well known scientist1 who computed the sun's age at #bj1jjj1jjj years1 computed the earth's age at #h1cjb1baj years4 ,subtract from these computations1 the years that must have elapsed before the earth became cool enough for animal life1 and the few millions of years left would be utterly insufficient to render evolution possible4 ,note how these figures agree with the age of the earth according to the ,helmholtz contraction theory4 ,the thinness of the earth's crust is also proven by the geysers1 the volcanoes1 and the #ijjj tremors and earthquakes occurring annually in all parts of the world4 #c4 ,the surface marks on the earth point to much shorter periods of time since the earth was a shoreless ocean than those required by evolutionists1 who are so reckless in their guesses and estimates4 ,they help themselves to eternity without stint4 ,charles ,lyell1 a geologist of ,darwin's time1 set the example when he said1 ,the lowest estimate of time required for the formation of the existing delta of the ,mississippi is #ajj1jjj years4 ,according to careful examination made by gentlemen of the ,coast ,survey and other ,u4,s4 officers1 the time was #d1djj years--a disinterested decision4 ,in the face of these three arguments1 it is a bit reckless to say the earth has existed1 #a1fjj1jjj1jjj years1--nearly #ajj times as long as proven possible by mathematical calculation4 ,and still more reckless is the estimate of ,prof4 ,russell1 #d1jjj1jjj1jjj to #h1jjj1jjj1jjj years1 founded on the radio-activity theory4 ,all these wild estimates are out of the question4 ,the recession of the ,niagara ,falls from ,lake ,ontario required only #g1jjj to #aa1jjj years4 ,it required only #h1jjj years for the ,mississippi ,river to excavate its course4 ,prof4 ,winchell estimates that the ,mississippi ,river1 has worn a gorge #ajj feet deep1 #h miles long1 back to the ,falls of ,st4 ,anthony1 in about #h1jjj years4 ,the whole thickness of the ,nile sediment1 #dj feet in one place1 was deposited in about #ac1jjj years4 ,calculations by ,southall and others from certain strata have fixed man's first appearance on the earth at #h1jjj years1 in harmony with ,scripture4 ,le,conte1 in his ,geology1 p4 #ai1 says1 ,making due allowance for all variations1 it is probable that all land-surfaces are being cut down and lowered by rain and river erosion1 at a rate of one foot every #e1jjj years4 ,at this rate1 if we take the mean height of lands as #abjj feet1 and there be no antagonistic agency at work raising the land1 all lands would be cut down to the sea level and disappear in #f1jjj1jjj years4 ,may we not from these data1 judge approximately of the age of the world1 and show by this proof also1 that the world can not be at all as old as the evolution theory demands8 ,if the surface of the earth will be worn down #abjj feet on an average in #f1jjj1jjj years1 would it not also be true that the surface has been worn down at least #abjj feet in the last #f1jjj1jjj years8 ,for the higher the surface1 the more rapid the erosion4 ,and if the earth is #h1cjb1baj years old1 as ,lord ,kelvin computes1 then at the same rate1 it must have been worn down an average of #affj feet1--#ch more than remains4 ,is this not a fair estimate for the amount of erosion and the age of the world8 ,how high must the land have averaged1 if the world is even #fj1jjj1jjj years old8 ,if this be true1 how long would it have taken erosion in the past1 to reduce the land to its present configuration1--the short period indicated by science1 or the immensely long period required by evolution8 ,but the evolutionists are clinging to the radio-activity theory desperately1 an ,s4,o4,s4 of a lost cause1 depending1 like evolution1 on a great many assumptions1 and unproven hypotheses4 ,the assumption is that a radio-active substance1 like uranium1 decays1 or passes into many other substances1 of which radium is one1 finally producing lead in #a1jjj1jjj1jjj years or more4 ,from this theory1 ,prof4 ,russell concludes that the earth is #d1jjj1jjj1jjj to #h1jjj1jjj1jjj years old1 and the sun is older still4 ,during this inconceivably long period1 the sun was giving out as much heat as at present1 which is #b1bjj1jjj1jjj times as much as the earth receives4 ,the heat of the sun can not be accounted for1 by either the combustion or cooling off theory4 ,by the commonly accepted contraction theory1 the heat has been maintained only about #bj1jjj1jjj years4 ,how could it have been sustained #d1jjj1jjj1jjj to #h1jjj1jjj1jjj years8 ,prof4 ,russell answers3 ,we must therefore suppose that energy from an 'unknown source' becomes available at exceedingly high temperatures4444 ,we can not do more than guess where it is hidden4 ,is this scientific8 ,this theory1 moreover1 is interlocked with ,einstein's theory of ,relativity1 which holds that all energy has mass1 and all mass is equivalent to energy4 ,although #bgjj books have been written1 pro and con1 upon ,einstein's theory1 yet he says only #ab men understand it1 and a scientist retorts that ,einstein can not be one of the #ab4 ,the contraction theory1 the thickness of the cooled crust of the earth1 and the conformation of its surface1 all give mathematical proof that evolution is impossible because of lack of time4 #aa4 ,,geology ,,and ,,history ,during the historical period1 the species have remained unchanged4 ,if over #a1jjj1jjj species of animals have arisen in the #fj1jjj1jjj years1 as is claimed1 over #bjjj of them must have arisen in the last #f1jjj years4 ,as evolutionists can not name a single new species that has arisen within that time1 their theory falls to the ground4 ,no species in that time1 has passed into another4 ,no species has been divided into two or more4 ,no lower species has advanced into a higher4 ,history gives no scrap of evidence in support of evolution4 ,even the horse1 whose history has been dubiously traced for #c1jjj1jjj years1 has been a horse unchanged for the last #f1jjj years4 ,even if the missing links in the development of the horse could be supplied1 it would still be the same species all the while4 ,but there are no transitional forms showing alleged changes in the development of the horse from the four-toed creature of squirrel like size4 ,many varieties and individuals under the skill of man have been developed and improved1 but not a single new species in historic time4 ,there are #e1jjj varieties of apples but no new species4 ,but when the evolutionist is hard pressed to answer1 he takes to the wilds of eternity where it is hard to pursue him1 and to check up on his guesses4 ,he answers that changes are so slow1 and take so many millions of years1 that they can not tell of a single new species in the last #f1jjj years1 when over #b1jjj are required4 ,he appeals to ,geology1 which is history down to historic time1 expecting to take advantage of the ignorance of the careless student4 ,but ,geology will not aid him to prove his reckless theory4 ,even ,darwin complained that the evidences from ,geology were scanty4 ,geology testifies3 ,the genera and species of fossil animals are as distinct as those now living2 new species appear at certain epochs entirely different from those which preceded2 often the most perfect specimens of a new species appear at the beginning of a geologic period rather than at its close1 leaving no room for evolution2 no species is shown changing into another2 and many species are largest at the beginning4 ,as ,geology is brought in as a hopeful witness by evolutionists1 they are bound by a well-known principle of law1 to accept the statements of their own witness even though fatal to their theory4 ,for them1 ,geology furnishes sorry evidence concerning the evolution of man from the brute4 ,the great scheme of evolution claims as its chief support four geologic finds4 ,we can not be certain that any one of these has the slightest evidential value4 ,an ardent evolutionist1 ,dr4 ,dubois1 found a few bones1 part ape1 part human1 buried in the river sands1 #dj feet deep4 ,they were scattered #ej feet apart1 no two joined together4 ,they called this strange creature pithecanthropus1 and fixed its age at #gej1jjj years2 others reduced it to #cge1jjj years4 ,these few bones are no doubt from a modern ape and modern man4 ,the ,heidelberg ,jaw was also found in the sand1 and is guessed to be #gjj1jjj years old4 ,it is hard to be respectful while they gravely tell such stories4 ,but the next is even worse3 ,the ,piltdown man1 alias the ,piltdown fake1 fabricated out of a few bones of a man and a few of an ape4 ,it is rejected as a fabrication even by many evolutionists4 ,the ,neanderthal man lived1 they say1 about #ej1jjj years ago4 ,a part of a skull was found in a cave4 ,all the bones purporting to belong to these four creatures would not together make one complete skeleton1 or even one complete skull4 ,a child could carry all this evidence in a basket4 ,these skulls can be duplicated by abnormal skulls in many graveyards today4 ,scientists are not certain they belong to the same individual4 ,part ape1 part human4 ,a desperate effort to get convincing evidence1 where there is none4 ,we can not be certain they lived in the age claimed4 ,scientists1 even evolutionists1 differ widely4 ,in contrast to this scant and uncertain evidence1 ,ales ,hrdlicka1 of the ,smithsonian ,institution1 speaking of a single locality1 says1 ,near ,lyons1 ,france1 the skeletons of #bjj1jjj prehistoric horses are scattered4 ,in one cave in ,moravia1 there are enough mammoth teeth to fill a small sized hall4444 ,from the ,heidelberg man1 there is practically no record for about #bjj1jjj years4 ,the kinship of the ,piltdown ,java and ,heidelberg man is open to dispute4 ,the ,neanderthal man may not have been a direct ancestor1 of the species which produced ,shakespeare1 ,napoleon and ,newton4 ,remains of the unchanged ape are abundant4 ,but the alleged human remains are scanty and uncertain4' ,now if there were millions and billions of human beings developing from the brutes1 should we not expect as many remains as of horses and mammoths and apes8 ,we do not have millions of them1 simply because they did not exist4 ,is not this well nigh a demonstration8 ,shall we1 upon this scant and uncertain evidence1 accept a theory that shocks the reason and the moral sense of mankind1 and which leads naturally to infidelity and atheism1 and takes away even our hope of immortality8 ,later in this volume we will consider more fully the alleged proofs from these geologic finds4 ,prof4 ,charles ,lyell said3 ,in the year #ahjf1 the ,french ,institute enumerated not less than #hj geological theories which were hostile to the ,scriptures2 but not one of these theories is held today4 ,many have come to the hasty conclusion that there was a continuous elaboration or a progressive growth among all species4 ,true in some cases1 but by no means universal4 ,many species have remained stable for millions of years2 many have retrograded and deteriorated4 ,indeed1 some evolutionists claim man has retrograded4 ,many species of animals have been larger than their modern descendants4 ,many species show no change4 ,all the bacilli remain the same microscopic species1 even those too microscopic to be seen or isolated4 ,they multiply the same1 and produce the same diseases4 ,how can there be growth in the microscopic world either animal or vegetable8 ,the doctrine that there is a development and a growth among all species of animals or plants1 is contradicted by the facts4 ,if that doctrine were true1 there would be no lower order of animals after so many millions of years of growth4 ,all would have been large and of a high order like others4 ,since we find a majority of all animal species less in size than the fly1 there has been little growth in most species1 and in many1 none at all4 ,the amoebae1 one celled animals1 smaller than a small pin-head1 have existed unchanged since life began4 ,if plants and animals all developed from a one-celled animal1 such as the amoeba1 why did not the amoeba develop8 ,or1 if some developed1 why not all8 ,certainly there would not remain a great multitude of species in the microscopic world4 ,of many species small and large1 we have many fossils preserved but no transitional forms4 ,the archopteryx1 a bird with a feathered tail1 is the only alleged transitional form between the reptiles and the birds4 ,only two specimens of this same animal have been found4 ,this could easily be an exceptional species of created birds differing no more from the normal bird than the ostrich or humming bird4 ,if there were transitional forms we ought to have them by the millions4 ,no transitional forms have been found between reptiles and mammals2 and we have seen that there are no reliable forms between man and mammals4 ,the numerous missing links make a chain impossible4 ,evolution is not simply growth or change1 but the development of all species from one germ4 #ab4 ,,geographical ,,distribution ,geographical ,distribution1 another witness claimed by the evolutionists1 bears testimony1 which they are bound1 in law1 to receive4 ,we find animals whose power of locomotion is very limited1 scattered all over the world1 like the mollusca and crustacea1 embracing a large number of families1 genera1 and species4 ,it is incredible that these all originated in one place1 and from one germ1 and migrated to distant parts of the world4 ,the oyster1 for example1 is found in ,europe1 ,africa1 ,north and ,south ,america4 ,there are over #bjj species1 found in all warm tempered climates1 but none in the coldest regions4 ,how could they cross the ocean and be distributed along all continents8 ,they are soon attached to solid rocks1 or other supports1 and do not move at all4 ,and if they do1 how could they cross thousands of miles of ocean barren of all food8 ,dr4 ,george ,w4 ,field1 an expert authority1 says the oysters of ,europe are unisexual1 but in ,america1 they are double-sexed4 ,how could one be derived from the other8 ,even the oyster is too much for the evolutionist4 ,the same argument applies to a great multitude of species1 that have little or no powers of locomotion4 ,if all plants and animals originated from one germ in one place1 how can plants1 indigenous to a single continent1 or hemisphere1 be accounted for8 ,why1 for example1 was there no maize1 or ,indian corn1 in the old world8 ,or tomatoes1 potatoes1 or any other plants indigenous to ,america8 ,if these once existed in the old world1 as they must have done1 according to the theory1 why were they found in ,america alone8 ,here we quote from ,prof4 ,agassiz1 one of the greatest authorities the world ever knew3 ,i will1 therefore1 consider the transmutation theory of species as a scientific mistake1 untrue in its facts1 unscientific in its method1 and mischievous in its tendency4 7,italics ours and yours74 #ac4 ,,god ,,not ,,absent ,,nor ,,inactive ,the theory that ,god is absent or inactive is as untenable and ,god-dishonoring as the discarded theory of atheism itself4 ,evolution1 as held by many1 harmonizes with and supports the false and impossible assumption that ,god created one1 or at most1 a few germs1 from which all animal species including man1 and plants developed1 by natural law4 ,this theory seems plausible to those who do not examine it too closely4 ,it does not deny the existence of ,god1 and concedes he may have created one or more germs1 but delegated the development of an orderly world to natural law4 ,thus his activities are no longer needed4 ,perhaps they entertain the thought that ,god must grow weary under the active and sleepless control of the universe1 if not of the world alone4 ,they lose sight of the fact that a ,god of infinite mind and power can not be wearied by any possible complications1 or any required amount of energy4 ,rather1 the exercise of unlimited energy is a source of pleasure and happiness4 ,may we not learn this from the boundless extent of the universe8 ,creation is not a task1 but a great satisfaction4 ,if ,god finds so much happiness in creating a boundless universe1 would he renounce the pleasure of the active care and control of #c1jjj1jjj species8 ,the hypothesis that ,god delegates to law the evolution of the universe1 the world1 and all species1 is untenable1 because no law1 human or divine1 can enforce itself4 ,law has no power4 ,it is not a being1 a creature1 a living thing4 ,it is absolutely helpless4 ,it can not be ,god's agent to carry out his will4 ,why the need of it8 ,why should not ,god use his power direct to do his will8 ,what gain in creating and employing an agent8 ,which would be easier1 to execute his own will1 or delegate it to a law8 ,his law is simply the record of his acts4 ,he executes his own will with exact regularity4 ,he does not vary4 ,hence1 all his creatures may depend on regularity4 ,it seems like law4 ,the power in every case is the power of ,god4 ,law has no power4 ,the law of gravitation has no power4 ,matter has no power4 ,one of the primary lessons we learn in physics is the inertia of matter4 ,matter can not move1 unless moved upon2 nor stop of itself1 when once in motion4 ,absolutely powerless6 ,the power of attraction1 which we may call a property of matter1 is really the power of ,god4 ,the effects are the results of power and intelligence4 ,law has neither power nor intelligence4 ,human law marks out the course man should pursue4 ,divine law records the course ,god has pursued4 ,human law must be enforced by all the executive power of the nation4 ,god executes his own will1 with perfect regularity2 and1 by courtesy of language1 we call it law4 ,he is the great executor of the universe1 not far removed1 but proven present everywhere1 by the power and wisdom necessary to produce the results4 ,these results are found in the boundless universe1 and in the microscopic world4 ,they are found in the world far below the power of the most powerful microscope to detect4 ,all the combinations of chemical elements are made1 hidden from the eye of the microscope4 ,substances are dissolved and new combinations made1 atoms are numbered1 counted and combined with mathematical precision1 and with an intelligence difficult for man to compute4 ,no law could do this4 ,only a ,being who has sufficient power and intelligence is equal to it4 ,law has no power1 nor intelligence4 ,water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen1 combined with absolute precision everywhere4 ,all chemical reactions require computations of an intelligent being4 ,all nature teems with proofs that ,god is every where present4 ,the elements in a high explosive are arranged instantly in new combinations1 each atom taking its proper partners1 in the proper proportion1 with unerring precision4 ,countless calculations of the most difficult kind are made instantly and continually by the divine mind4 ,thus ,god's presence everywhere in the minutest forms of matter is clearly proved4 ,it is a mathematical demonstration4 ,god is not wearied by the care of worlds and suns1 and systems and snow-drifts of stars on the highway of heaven1 and takes just as perfect notice of atoms and electrons4 ,they who think ,god is unable or unwilling to take care of the minutest division of matter as well as the rolling suns1 must have a very diluted idea of ,god4 ,it is now claimed that the atom1 formerly believed to be the smallest division of matter1 consists of #agdj parts4 ,sir ,oliver ,lodge says that the structure of an atom is as complex as that of a piano4 ,this latest scientific discovery detects the power and wisdom of ,god1 controlling1 for ages1 this minutest division of matter1 undetected by the most powerful microscope4 ,it staggers one to think of the countless and difficult calculations that are made instantly by the divine mind in every part of the universe4 ,the path of every snowflake that lazily pursues its tortuous course1 and rests upon the lap of earth1 is marked out1 not by any law or agent1 but by ,god himself4 ,he calculates instantly the cyclone's path1 the movement of every particle of air1 the direction1 velocity and path of every raindrop4 ,a law could not do it4 ,the wisest man could not do it4 ,but ,god can do it1 with the ease with which the tempest carries a feather on its bosom1 or the ocean floats a straw6 ,every second1 about #af1jjj1jjj tons of rain and snow fall to the earth2 and ,god calculates the paths of the myriad flakes of snow and drops of rain instantly and unerringly4 ,the ,conservation of ,energy and the inter-convertibility of forces--light1 heat1 electricity1--taking place constantly everywhere1 often on a stupendous scale1 require bewildering calculations by an ever-present ,god4 ,no energy1 not even potential energy1 can be lost in converting one force into another4 ,it must be computed exactly4 ,who but an infinite ,god could have calculated the enormous potential energy of the nebulous gases1 required by contraction to cause the prodigious heat of a universe of suns8 ,the earth turns over noiselessly every #bd hours1 carrying on its bosom1 at the rate of #ajjj mi4 an hour1 at dizzy heights1 a most tenuous atmosphere1 without a rustle1 without the loss of a second in #ajjj years4 ,the earth with its satellite1 is traveling around the sun at the rate of #ah4e mi4 per second--#ge times as fast as a cannon ball1--bearing a load of #f1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj tons1 and arriving at a given point in its orbit1 on exact time every tropical year4 ,it has arrived so promptly on time following its elliptical course1 at such a rate that the radius vector1 a line from the sun to the earth1 passes over equal areas in equal times1 furnishing every moment an abtruse problem difficult for a scholar to solve4 ,the orbit is so vast that it varies from a straight line1 but #d in4 in #fff mi41 the distance from ,philadelphia to ,chicago4 ,the sun also1 with its family of worlds and their satellites1 is plunging through space at the rate of #h4e mi4 per second2 moreover1 there are swarms of huge suns1 many larger than ours1 moving in straight-lines like a universe on a journey1 and countless millions of suns in swiftest flight through the skies1 whose orbits and rates of motion must all be calculated and controlled by a mind of amazing power and intelligence4 ,is not the so-called scientist either a madman or a fool1 who believes that all this can be accounted for1 without the presence of a ,god of infinite power and intelligence8 ,water contracts as the temperature falls4 ,but when within four degrees of the freezing point1 water expands and ice becomes lighter than water1 and floats1 and saves all bodies of water from becoming solid bodies of ice4 ,who can say that ,god does not intervene1 in this case1 to save all life8 ,it is a striking proof that ,god is not absent nor inactive4 ,gravitation requires the computation of countless millions of the most complex and difficult problems1 every instant1 by the divine mind4 ,the attraction of all matter for all other matter is in proportion directly to the mass and inversely to the square of the distance4 ,the exact weight of every object is determined by the attraction of the earth and every particle thereof1 the mountain that may be nearby1 the elevation and altitude of the place1 the attraction of the sun and the moon1 and every star in heaven1 even though too small to be computed by man1--all these are computed precisely by the divine mind4 ,these innumerable calculations prove that ,god is everywhere4 ,we are continually in the immediate awesome presence of an ,infinite ,god4 ,every computation that man ever made1 was made long before by a great ,intelligence1 that excels all others combined4 ,how intricate is the calculation of the divine mind1 which causes the water of every ocean1 sea1 lake1 pond1 and vessel1 when at rest1 to correspond with the exact sphericity of the earth4 ,in the face of innumerable and difficult calculations1--proofs of the intense activity of the divine mind1--who can be so reckless as to say that ,god is absent or inactive8 ,not only does ,god make endless calculations in executing his will in the material universe1 but in the intellectual1 moral and spiritual world as well4 ,we can not measure1 with any human instruments1 the amount of mental discipline and improvement1 resulting from a certain amount of study4 ,but ,god calculates unerringly the precise amount of mental discipline or improvement earned by every mental exertion4 ,the amount is in precise proportion to the mental effort4 ,the gain is definite1 exact and unerring1 the calculation is instantaneous1 and beyond the power of the profoundest mathematician to compute4 ,so also1 the effect of every moral act1 wish1 desire1 purpose1 intention or affection1 is instantly computed1 and the moral character modified in exact proportion to their weight4 ,if a man indulges in vice1 he becomes vicious in proportion4 ,if he commits a crime1 he becomes more criminal in nature4 ,every theft is computed at its proper value4 ,every good and noble act ennobles the character in proportion to its worth4 ,there is a settlement1 every instant1 and all deeds1 wishes1 desires1 purposes1 and affections go into the character1 and affect it in precise proportion to their weight4 ,who but an infinite ,god1 can keep all accounts of his innumerable creatures instantaneously1 and have them complete1 exact and unerring8 ,no man1 nor angel1 nor law1 could do it4 ,in like manner1 every spiritual act1 wish1 purpose1 motive1--all go in to make up the spiritual life of man1 in exact proportion to their worth4 ,not all the mathematicians and scribes in the universe could together solve the problems1 that the great intellect of the ,supreme ,ruler is solving every instant of time4 ,this theory of an absent or inactive ,god leaves no place for prayer1 an almost universal instinct of mankind4 ,if a blind1 deaf1 and dumb and helpless law is in control1 it is useless to pray for help4 ,all nations1 races and peoples instinctively believe that ,god hears and answers prayer4 ,this is a scientific fact with which evolutionists must reckon1 even if it has a pious or otherwise offensive sound4 ,no use to pray to an inexorable law1 which1 like the gods of the heathen1 can neither see1 nor hear1 nor taste1 nor smell4 ,how unscientific then seems the following declaration of ,darwin3 ,to my mind1 it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter ,how could that be8 by the ,creator1 that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes1 like those determining the birth and death of the individual4 ,it does not remove the ,first ,great ,cause from active control of the world to call his acts secondary causes4 #ad4 ,,chance ,,or ,,design8 ,evolution is the old heathen doctrine of chance4 ,it professes to eliminate design and a personal active ,creator4 ,the theory of natural selection allows no design1 no intelligence1 no interference1 no control1 by the ,creator4 ,he does not interfere even by means of law4 ,m4 ,m4 ,metcalf1 of ,oberlin1 ,o41 7shades of ,chas4 ,g4 ,finney671 a prominent evolutionist1 says1 ,the last stand was made by those who claim that supernatural agency intervenes in nature in such a way as to modify the natural order of events4 ,when ,darwin came to dislodge them from this1 their last intrenchment1 there was a fight4 ,yes6 the fight will last while any one tries to substitute chance for the control of ,almighty ,god4 ,the universe teems with countless evidences of intelligent design of the highest order1 whether it is found in the starry heavens1 or in the law and order of the atoms hiding from the most powerful microscope4 ,all things came by chance or by design4 ,they say there is no design4 ,we wonder that the hand that wrote the lie was not palsied4 ,it would be1 if the same ,creator that filled every muscle1 nerve1 bone1 and tissue of the sacrilegious hand1 with numberless proofs of design1 were not a long-suffering and merciful ,god4 ,prof4 ,vernon ,kellogg says3 ,darwinism may be defined as a certain rational causo-mechanical 7hence non-teleologic7 explanation of the origin of species4 ,translated into plain ,english1 this euphemistic expression means that ,darwinism excludes all design and control by a ,creator4 ,chance pure and simple4 ,all species originated by chance1 without interference by a supreme ,being4 ,this senseless doctrine of chance has been condemned by man in every age4 ,we can only note a few of the evidences of design1 found in bewildering numbers in every part of ,god's great creation4 ,,the ,,human ,,body4 ,can evolutionists imagine how the human body could be crammed fuller of the clearest proofs of the most intelligent design1 indicating a mind of the highest order8 ,many of the most remarkable inventions of man were suggested by the wonderful contrivances found in the human body4 ,yet they say this marvelous piece of ingenuity did not come from the hand of the ,creator but was developed by blind chance or natural laws1 without a trace of intelligent design by the ,creator1 or by man or beast4 ,the human body can no more be a product of chance or causo-mechanical evolution than a ,hoe printing press1 or ,milton's ,paradise ,lost4 ,on high medical authority1 we are told that there are in the human body #fjj muscles1 #ajjj miles of blood vessels1 and #eej arteries important enough to name4 ,the skin1 spread out1 would cover #af square feet4 ,it has #a1ejj1jjj sweat glands which spread out on one surface1 would occupy over #aj1jjj sq4 ft41 and would cover #e city lots1 #bj x #ajj ft4 ,the lungs are composed of #gjj1jjj1jjj cells of honey comb1 all of which we use in breathing1--equal to a flat surface of #b1jjj square feet1 which would cover a city lot4 ,in #gj years1 the heart beats #b1ejj1jjj1jjj times1 and lifts #ejj1jjj tons of blood4 ,the nervous system1 controlled by the brain has #c1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj nerve

swallowed every day1 and the stomach generates daily from #e to #aj quarts of gastric juice1 which digests food and destroys germs4 ,two gallons daily6 ,it is easy also to believe that the very hairs of our heads are numbered1--about #bej1jjj4 ,yet many an upstart1 with thousands of the most marvelous contrivances in his own body1 is ready to shout that there is no ,god and no design1 or that there has been no interference since creation1 and that our bodies have reached the dizzy heights of perfection1 without intelligence1 purpose or design4 ,absurd in the highest degree6 ,we are fearfully and wonderfully made4 ,,the ,,eye4 ,darwin says1 ,to suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances1 for admitting different amounts of light1 and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration1 could have been formed by natural selection1 seems1 ,i frankly confess absurd in the highest degree4 7,italics ours74 ,after admitting that it seems absurd in the highest degree1 he proceeds1 as if it were certainly true4 ,darwin has been admired for his candor1 but not for his consistency4 ,after admitting that an objection is insuperable1 he goes on as if it had little or no weight4 ,and many of his followers take the same unscientific attitude4 ,they try to establish their theory in spite of overwhelming arguments4 ,reason tells me1 he says1 that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye1 to one complex and perfect1 can be shown to exist1 such gradation being useful to its possessor1 as is certainly the case 7certainly871 if further1 he continues1 the eye varies and the variations be inherited1 as is likewise certainly the case 7most modern evolutionists say certainly not the case2 what1 if variations are unfavorable872 ,and if such variations should be useful1 7what if not useful87 to any animal under changing conditions of life1 then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection1 though insuperable to the imagination 7,italics ours7 should not be considered as subversive of the theory66 ,darwin undertakes a task far too great for his mighty genius4 ,believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed is many moral leagues from proving that it was so formed4 ,we must have stronger proof than sufficient to lead us to believe that such an eye could possibly be so formed4 ,all proof is exhausted in the struggle to prove the possibility of the formation of so marvelous an eye1 to say nothing of the probability1 much less the certainty required by science4 ,we hold evolutionists to the necessity of proving that the eye was certainly so formed4 ,we demand it4 ,otherwise1 we shall certainly consider it subversive of the theory4 ,and if acquired by one species1 how could it benefit another species8 ,but we must contest the claim that the wonderful eye of man and animals could have been formed by evolution4 ,darwin's whole theory aims to account for all creation1 with its super-abundant evidences of design1 by natural selection1 which works without design and without intelligence4 ,the theory is founded upon the monstrous assumption that unintelligent animals and plants1 can1 by aimless effort arrive at such perfection as the organs of the human body1 exceeding anything in mechanical contrivance1 invented to date by the genius of man4 ,indeed1 that wonderful invention of the telescope is but a poor imitation of the eye1 and does not begin to equal it in marvelous design4 ,who would say that the telescope might have been constructed by chance1 or the fortuitous concurrence of atoms1 or by natural selection1 or any other attempted method of blotting out the great intelligent ,designer of the universe8 ,it not only seems absurd in the highest degree1 but certainly is1 and is fatal to the theory4 ,the eye is so wonderful in its powers1 and delicate adjustments1 that we stand amazed at the evidences of design1 and at the wisdom of the ,maker of the eye1 far exceeding the highest inventive genius of man4 ,to say that this is the result of natural selection1 is absurd and ridiculous4 ,evolution eliminates design1 mind1 and an active and ever present ,god1 and substitutes blind chance or natural selection1 dubs it science and asks the world to believe it6 ,according to the evolution theory1 the gain in the mechanism of the eye causes its possessors to survive1 and others to die4 ,is that true8 ,are there not many species that survive1 whose eyes are less perfect than the eye of man8 ,indeed1 it is claimed that many animals have eyes superior to man4 ,if so1 why did man survive and become the dominant species1 with eyes less perfect8 ,the compound eyes of some species are superior in some respects1 as every one knows1 who has ever tried to slip up on a fly4 ,a scientist says that fleas have such perfect vision that the darkness under the bed clothes is to them a glaring light4 ,darwin makes a fatal admission1 when he says1 ,to arrive1 however1 at a conclusion regarding the formation of the eye with all its marvelous yet not absolutely perfect characters1 it is indispensable that the reason should conquer the imagination2 ,but ,i have felt the difficulty far too keenly to be surprised at others hesitating to extend the principle of natural selection to so startling a length4 7,italics ours74 ,no wonder the reason and judgment of mankind revolts against such a theory and that so many evolutionists themselves reject it4 ,three or four per cent4 of the population are color blind--red-blind --and are not able to distinguish the color of the green leaves from that of the red ripe cherries4 ,can it be possible that the eye becomes more perfect1 because those who had less perfect eyes perished1 and only those who could recognize colors survive until color blindness is finally eliminated8 ,is such a doctrine scientific8 ,is it more reasonable to believe it than to believe that an infinitely wise and powerful ,god created this organ of marvelous value and beauty8 ,of course1 the ability to recognize color is only one of the many perfections of the eye4 ,evolution is made so much more incredible1 because it teaches that every permanent improvement in the eye is made at the expense of multitudes of individuals that perished because of the lack of the improvement4 ,the defect perished only because all individuals afflicted with it perished4 ,is this true8 ,the bureau of education of the ,u4,s4 government reports that1 of #bb1jjj1jjj school children examined1 #e1jjj1jjj have defective eyes2 #a1jjj1jjj1 defective hearing2 #a1jjj1jjj have active tuberculosis2 #bej1jjj1 heart trouble2 #c1jjj1jjj to #e1jjj1jjj are underfed2 total1 #ab1bej1jjj1--more than half4 ,must all these defectives perish in order that man may reach perfection8 ,less than half are the fittest and they only could survive4 ,,location ,,of ,,organs4 ,but if the evolutionist could convince the thoughtful student that the marvelous eye could have been so formed1 by blind chance or natural selection1 how could he account for the advantageous location of the eye and other organs8 ,while we can not well name a fraction small enough to express the mathematical probability of the formation of the eye1 the ear1 and other organs of the body1 we easily can compute the fraction of the probability of their location1 though very small4 ,in the passage quoted from ,darwin1 he begins with the simple eye1 but does not say how the eye originated4 ,hon4 ,william ,j4 ,bryan in his book1 ,in ,his ,image1 p4 #ig1 says1 ,but how does the evolutionist explain the eye1 when he leaves ,god out8 ,here is the only guess that ,i have seen1--if you find any others1 ,i shall be glad to know of them1 as ,i am collecting the guesses of the evolutionists4 ,the evolutionist guesses that there was a time when eyes were unknown--that is a necessary part of the hypothesis4 ,and since the eye is a universal possession1 among living things1 the evolutionist guesses that it came into being1--not by design or act of ,god--,i will give you the guess1--a piece of pigment1 or as some say1 a freckle1 appeared upon the skin of an animal that had no eyes4 ,this piece of pigment or freckle converged the rays of the sun upon that spot1 and when the little animal felt the heat on that spot1 it turned the spot to the sun to get more heat4 ,this increased heat irritated the skin1--so the evolutionists guess--and a nerve came there and out of the nerve came the eye4 ,can you beat it8 ,but this only accounts for one eye2 there must have been another piece of pigment or freckle soon afterward1 and just in the right place in order to give the animal two eyes4 ,now assuming1 what seems an utter impossibility1 that the wonderful mechanism of the eye can be accounted for by chance or natural selection 7another name for chance since design is excluded71 how can we account for the location of the eyes1 and1 in fact1 of all the other organs of the body8 ,we can easily calculate the mathematical probability on the basis of natural selection4 ,there are from #bejj to #cejj square inches of surface to the human body1 a space easily #cjjj times the space occupied by an eye4 ,the eye1 by the laws of probability1 is just as likely to be located any where else1 and has one chance out of #cjjj to be located where it is4 ,but out1 of our abundant margin1 we will concede the chance to be one out of #ajjj1 and hence its mathematical probability is 4#jja4 ,for mathematical probability includes possibility and even improbability4 ,the compound probability of two things happening together is ascertained by multiplying together their fractions of probability4 ,now the probability of the location of the second eye where it is1 also is 4#jja4 ,and the compound probability of the location of both eyes where they are1 is 4#jja x 4#jja or 4#jjj1jja4 ,in like manner1 the probability of the location of each ear where it is1 is 4#jja1 and of the two ears 4#jjj1jja4 ,the compound probability of the location of two eyes and two ears where they are1 is 4#jjjjja x 4#jjjjja or 4#jjj1jjj1jjj1jja4 ,the two eyes and two ears have but one chance out of a trillion or a million million to be located where they are4 ,the location of the mouth1 the nose1 and every organ of the body diminishes this probability a thousand fold4 ,we are speaking mildly when we say that this calculation proves that the evolution of the body1 by chance or natural selection1 has not one chance in a million to be true4 ,so ruthlessly does the pure and reliable science of mathematics shatter the theory of evolution1 which so called scientists claim is as firmly established as the law of gravitation4 ,concerning the wild guess of the development of the legs1 we again quote from ,mr4 ,bryan1 ,in ,his ,image1 p4 #ih3 ,and according to the evolutionist1 there was a time when animals had no legs1 and so the legs came by accident4 ,how8 ,well1 the guess is that a little animal was wiggling along on its belly one day1 when it discovered a wart--it just happened so1--and it was in the right place to be used to aid it in locomotion2 so1 it came to depend upon the wart1 and use finally developed it into a leg4 ,and then another wart1 and another leg1 at the proper time--by accident--and accidentally in the proper place4 ,is it not astonishing that any person1 intelligent enough to teach school1 would talk such tommyrot to students1 and look serious while doing so8 ,some one has counted that ,darwin has used phrases of doubt1 like ,we may well suppose1 #hjj times in his two principal works4 ,the whole theory is built up on guesses and suppositions4 ,let us suppose that each guess is #ie per cent certain1 which is far higher than the average or any4 ,the compound probability would equal 4#ie raised to the #hjjth power which would be 4#jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjf1bha which means there are #f chances out of a quintillion that evolution is true4 ,since not all of these #hjj suppositions are dependent upon each other1 we are willing to multiply this result by #aj1jjj1jjj1jjj which still shows that the theory has less than one chance in a million to be true4 ,darwin himself says1 ,the belief that an organ so perfect as the eye could have been formed by natural selection1 is more than enough to ,,stagger ,,any ,,one4 ,yet he and his followers refuse to be staggered1 and proceed to argue as if this unanswerable objection had little or no weight4 ,any hypothesis is weakened or damaged by every support that is an uncertain guess4 ,gravitation has no such support4 ,mr4 ,alfred ,w4 ,mc,cann1 in his great volume ,god or ,gorilla1 shows that ,h4 ,g4 ,wells1 the novelist alias historian7871 in his ,outline of ,history1 uses #ajc pages to show man's descent from an ape-like ancestry1 and employs #if expressions of doubt or uncertainty1 such as probably1 perhaps1 possibly1 etc4 ,he does not hesitate to endorse the wildest guesses of the evolutionists1 and sits upon the top of this pyramid of doubt1 and proclaims1 ex cathedra1 apparently without a blush1 of our ancestors3 ,it was half-ape1 half-monkey elsewhere1 he says the lemur was our ancestor4 ,it clambered about the trees and ran1 and probably ran well1 on its hind legs upon the ground4 ,it was small brained by our present standards1 but it had clever hands with which it handled fruit and beat nuts upon the rocks1 and perhaps caught up sticks and stones to smite its fellows4 ,,it ,,was ,,our ,,ancestor4666 ,and he does not hesitate to give a picture of our ancestor drawn by an artist #ejj1jjj years after its death4 ,yet this book so dangerous1 so anti-christian1 and so untruthful concerning the origin of man1 is recommended by careless librarians1 by scholars1 and even by ,christians4 ,it will take a long time to erase from the mind of the youth1 the false teachings of this book4 ,it is one of the most cunningly devised plans ever attempted to teach infidelity and atheism in the name of history4 ,,plans ,,for ,,man ,,prove ,,design4 ,all nature is crowded with evidence that ,god intended to create man4 ,he made great preparation for his coming4 ,he provided many things useful to man but to no other species4 ,veins of coal1 almost innumerable--the canned sunshine of past ages--1 are placed near the earth's surface1 accessible for man1 when needed for his use4 ,of no value whatever to any other species1 because they can not make or replenish a fire4 ,a colored preacher did not miss the mark1 when he said1 ,god stored his coal in his great big cellar for the use of man4 ,the man who fills his own cellar with provisions for the winter exhibits no more foresight or design4 ,the oil and gas were also evidently stored away in the earth for the use of man4 ,it is worth nothing to animals4 ,over #da1jjj1jjj1jjj gallons of oil were consumed in the ,u4,s4 in #aibd4 ,all the other minerals likewise were stored in the earth for the use of man alone1--iron1 copper1 gold1 silver1 all the valuable minerals1--knowing that man would make use of them4 ,the most precious and most useful minerals are of no value whatever to any species of animals4 ,god foresaw the marvelous inventions of the present and the future1 and provided the means ages ahead of time4 ,the universe is crowded so full of design1 that there is no room for chance or natural selection4 #ae4 ,,evolution ,,atheistic ,evolution harmonizes with atheism and kindred false theories4 ,this raises a presumption against its truth1 as falsehood does not agree with the truth4 ,it is reconcilable with infidelity and atheism1 but not with ,christianity4 ,many1 like ,prof4 ,coulter1 of the ,chicago ,university1 endeavor to show that evolution is reconcilable with religion--and he does show that it harmonizes with the religion of deism or infidelity4 ,no one doubts that evolution harmonizes with atheism or the religion of ,thomas ,paine4 ,but why should we be anxious to reconcile it with ,christianity1 when there is so little truth to support it8 ,many evolutionists are atheists4 ,some believe in the eternity of matter4 ,this can not be4 ,both mind and matter can not be eternal4 ,mind controls matter2 and not matter1 mind4 ,hence the mind of ,god created matter4 ,some believe the universe came into being by its own power1 though that can not be4 ,power or force cannot create itself4 ,it must be attached directly or indirectly to a person4 ,no force can be disconnected from its cause4 ,detached force is unthinkable4 ,all force in the universe can be traced to ,god4 ,much of the physical power of the earth can be traced to the sun1--storms1 cataracts1 steam1 electricity1--and the sun gets its power from ,god4 ,gravitation1 extensive as the universe1 is but the power of ,god in each case4 ,the total force in the universe is beyond calculation4 ,it is a part of the power of ,almighty ,god4 ,it approaches infinity4 ,all heat is convertible into power1 and power into heat4 ,heat1 when converted into power1 moves the mighty engines4 ,the power of ,niagara may be converted into heat and light4 ,the sun had lifted the waters of the whole ,niagara ,river1 and the lakes far above the ,falls4 ,its power is enormous4 ,it lifts up over #a1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj tons of water to the clouds every day1--more than all the rivers and streams pour into the seas4 ,the sun equals in size a pile of more than a million worlds like ours4 ,every square yard of surface of this enormous sphere1 has enough heat to push a great liner across the sea1--as much power as in many tons of coal4 ,the amount of heat in the surface of the sun1 consisting of more than #b1bhd1jjj1jjj1jjj sq4 mi41 can hardly be imagined4 ,the heat of one sq4 mi4 7#c1jig1fjj sq4 yds47 would drive #c1jjj1jjj ships across the sea1--#aej times as many as are afloat4 ,more than #b1bjj1jjj1jjj times as much heat as the earth receives1 goes out into space4 ,and this enormous amount of heat is but a poor fraction of the heat of #djj1jjj1jjj suns1 few of which are so small as ours4 ,a single star1 ,betelguese1 has recently been computed to be #bae1jjj1jjj mi4 in diameter1 and therefore larger than #aj1jjj1jjj suns like ours4 ,a still more recent computation shows stars even larger4 ,antares is #cij1jjj1jjj mi4 in diameter1 equal1 to #ia1abe1jjj suns1 or #acf1fhg1ejj1jjj1jjj worlds4 ,if our sun were in the centre of this sun1 it would extend beyond the orbit of ,mars4 ,alpha ,hercules is #cjj1jjj1jjj mi4 in diameter4 ,some stars are so far away that it takes light #fj1jjj years to reach us1 at the rate of #ahf1jjj mi4 in a second4 ,some say there are #djj1jjj1jjj enormous suns4 ,compute1 if you can1 the sum total of the power causing the light and heat1 and the power of gravitation controlling these vast swarms of stars4 ,all this power is the power of ,god1 and a weak fraction of the total4 ,this power could not originate itself4 ,it could not grow4 ,it could not come by evolution4 ,it could not come by chance4 ,the doctrine of the ,conservation of ,force1 accepted by scientists1 proves that no part of force can be lost4 ,a ,god of infinite power is required to create1 maintain and control this vast universe4 ,force can no more create itself than matter4 ,god must create and preserve both4 ,it takes almighty power to maintain the universe in existence1 as well as to create it4 ,if atheism be true1 then1 if there was even one germ to start with1 as most admit1 it must have created itself1 unless the absurd claim that it came from another world1 riding on a meteorite1 be entertained4 ,if such a foolish assumption were possible1 it would require a ,god to create it in another world4 ,the fool hath said in his heart1 ',no ,god'4 ,some translators would supply the words omitted by the ,hebrew1 and make

refuses to see the countless evidences of design1 proving ,his existence2 or the man who refuses to see the terrible wreck of the great universe1 and the awful chaos that would result if there were no ,god4 ,we can imagine only one greater fool than either3 ,the man who thinks he can get the world to believe1 under cover of evolution1 that there is no ,god1 and that all things were evolved by chance1 even though it be camouflaged by the terms natural selection or natural law4 ,atheism implies spontaneous generation1 which is entirely without proof4 ,indeed1 if spontaneous generation were possible at the beginning of life1 it is possible now1 and has been possible during all the ages4 ,but no proof of it has been given4 ,on the contrary1 all efforts to secure1 by chemistry1 the lowest forms of life from dead matter have been without avail4 ,dr4 ,leib1 of ,chicago ,university1 made earnest efforts to do so4 ,he failed utterly4 ,if nature1 aided by the genius of man1 can not now produce the lowest forms of life from matter1 how could it ever have been done8 ,prof4 ,huxley filled jars with sterilized water1 and placed in it sterilized vegetation1 and sealed them up1 and after #cj years1 no life was seen1 disproving spontaneous generation4 ,pasteur proved that1 if milk were sterilized1 there would be no development of life by spontaneous generation4 ,this discovery was of immense practical value1 making milk safe to use4 ,prof4 ,tyndall1 the distinguished physicist1 said3 ,if matter is what the world believes it to be1 materialism1 spontaneous generation1 and evolution1 or development1 are absurdities too monstrous to be entertained by any sane mind4 ,dr4 ,clark ,maxwell1 another distinguished physicist1 says1 ,i have examined all theories of evolution and have found that every one must have a ,god to make it work4 ,l',univers says3 ,when hypotheses tend to nothing less than the shutting out of ,god from the thoughts and hearts of men1 and the diffusion of the leprosy of materialism1 the savant who invents and propagates them is either a criminal or a fool4 ,even ,darwin seems to be conscious of a designing mind when he says1 ,it is difficult to avoid personifying the word ,nature4 ,but ,i mean by nature only the aggregate action and product of many natural laws4 ,a futile effort to exclude ,god4 ,who made these laws8 ,can a theory that is consistent with false theories1 like chance and atheism be true8 ,truth is consistent with truth1 but not with falsehood4 ,we can judge a theory by the company it keeps4 ,evolution naturally affiliates with false theories rather than with the truth4 ,it favors infidelity and atheism4 ,a theory in perfect harmony with manifest error1 raises a presumption against its truth4 ,evolution seems to have a natural attraction for erroneous hypotheses and manifests the closest kinship with impossible theories4 ,this is not a mark of a true theory4 ,so baneful has been the effect of teaching evolution as a proven hypothesis1 that multitudes have been led into infidelity and atheism4 ,prof4 ,james ,h4 ,leuba1 of ,bryn ,mawr ,college1 ,pa41 sent a questionaire to #ajjj of the most prominent scientists teaching sciences relating to evolution4 ,the replies indicate that more than one-half do not believe in a personal ,god1 nor the immortality of the soul1--beliefs almost universal even in the heathen world4 ,so pernicious is this doctrine of evolution that more than one-half of the professors who teach it and kindred subjects1 are infidels and atheists and farther from ,god than the ignorant heathen4 ,and while we are happy in the conviction that the great majority of professors and teachers of other subjects are ,christians1 yet one or two atheists or infidels are sufficient to make havoc of the faith of many1 in a great college or university4 ,a doctrine so abhorrent to the conscience1 so contrary to the well nigh universal belief1 and so fruitful of evil1 certainly can not be true4 ,small wonder is it that students are fast becoming infidels and atheists1 and we shudder as we think of the coming generation4 ,a great responsibility rests upon the authorities who employ such teachers4 ,the answers of the students in seven large representative colleges and universities to ,prof4 ,leuba's questionaire1 show that while only #ae of the ,freshmen have abandoned the ,christian religion1 #cj of the ,juniors and over #dj of the ,seniors have abandoned the ,christian faith4 ,note the steady and rapid growth of infidelity and atheism as a result of this pernicious theory4 ,will ,christian parents patronize or support or endow institutions that give an education that is worse than worthless8 ,what the colleges teach today the world will believe tomorrow4 ,atheism1 under its own name1 has never had many to embrace it4 ,its only hope is to be tolerated and believed under some other name4 ,in ,russia1 no man is allowed to belong to the ruling 7,communist7 party unless he is an atheist4 ,it will be a sorry world when scientific atheism wins1 under the name of evolution4 ,no one has a moral right to believe what is false1 much less to teach it1 under the specious plea of freedom of thought4 ,it is the privilege and duty of parents to send their children to institutions that are safe4 ,nathan ,leopold1 ,jr41 and ,richard ,loeb kidnapped and cruelly murdered ,robert ,franks4 ,both were brilliant scholars and atheists4 ,both graduates of universities1 though minors1 and both were taking a post-graduate course in the ,university of ,chicago4 ,it is asserted and widely believed that they were encouraged in their atheistic belief by the teaching of evolution and modernism1 and were thus prepared to commit a crime that shocked the world4 ,most of the writers who advocated evolution became atheists or infidels2 most of the professors who teach it1 believe neither in ,god nor the immortality of the soul2 and the number of students discarding ,christianity rose from #ae in the ,freshman year to #dj in the ,senior4 ,what more proof is needed8 #af4 ,,brute ,,descent ,,impossible ,according to ,prof4 ,r4 ,s4 ,lull and other evolutionists1 ,the skull of the pithecanthropus is characterized by a limited capacity of about two-thirds that of a man4 ,assuming that this skull is that of a normal creature of that age1 as is done in all the arguments of our friends1 the enemy1 then the pithecanthropus must have lived #bj1jjj1jjj years ago1 one-third the period assigned to life4 ,they claim the pithecanthropus lived #gej1jjj years ago2 later the guess is reduced to #cge1jjj4 ,does any one in his senses believe that an ape-human animal developed one-third of the normal human brain in #cge1jjj or #gej1jjj years1 when it took #ei1bej1jjj years to develop two-thirds of the brain8 ,if one-third of the normal brain developed in the last #gej1jjj years1 the rate of development must have been #ci4e times as great as in the preceding #ei1bej1jjj years4 ,if one-third developed in the last #cge1jjj years1 the rate of development must have been #gh times as rapid as in the preceding #ei1fbe1jjj years4 ,this is incredible4 ,if life began #ejj1jjj1jjj years ago1 and one-third the brain developed in the last #gej1jjj years1 the rate must have been #ccb times as rapid as in the preceding #dii1bej1jjj years2 and #fff times as rapid in #cge1jjj years as in the preceding #dii1fbe1jjj years4 ,all these guesses are clearly impossible4 ,but the agile evolutionist may try to escape the death sentence of mathematics and the condemnation of reason1 by saying that the brain developed more rapidly than the rest of the body4 ,but he is estopped from that claim1 by the statement of this same ,prof4 ,r4 ,s4 ,lull3 ,the brain1 especially the type of brain found in the higher human races1 must have been very slow of development4 ,if so1 the pithecanthropus must have lived more than #bj1jjj1jjj years ago6 ,so swiftly does inexorable mathematics upset this reckless theory4 ,this calculation has been made upon the basis of the estimate of #fj1jjj1jjj years since life began1 taken from ,prof4 ,h4 ,h4 ,newman in ,readings in ,evolution1 p4 #fh4 ,but1 seeing that even this great estimate of the period of life is not sufficient for evolution1 in a private letter to the writer1 ,prof4 ,newman raises his guess to #ejj1jjj1jjj years4 ,in that case1 the pithecanthropus must have lived one-third of #ejj1jjj1jjj1 or #aff1fff1fff years ago4 ,and1 if we are reckless enough to admit the moderate estimate of #a1jjj1jjj1jjj years1 gravely suggested by ,prof4 ,russell1 of ,princeton ,university1 it must have lived #ccc1ccc1ccc years ago4 ,these reckless estimates seem removed1 by the whole diameter of reason1 from even a respectable guess4 ,every new guess seems to make their case more hopeless4 ,and any guess that they can make1 out of harmony with the ,scripture statement1 can be disproved by cold mathematics4 ,in like manner1 if the ,piltdown man had the estimated brain capacity of #ajgj c4c41 instead of the normal #aejj c4c41 this fabricated creature must have lived about #ag1bjj1jjj years ago1 if life began #fj1jjj1jjj years ago2 and #adc1ccc1ccc years ago1 if life began #ejj1jjj1jjj years ago2 7c4c4 cubic centimeters74 ,prof4 ,schaaffhausen1 the discoverer1 estimated the capacity of the ,neanderthal man at #ajcc c4c4 ,then he must have lived #ah1fhj1jjj years ago1 if we accept the #fj1jjj1jjj year period2 and #caa1ccc1ccc years ago1 if we accept ,prof4 ,russell's guess of #a1jjj1jjj1jjj years4 ,and in all these long ages1 fragments of only four skeletons of very doubtful character have been found1 and upon this flimsy proof1 the youth of our land are expected by self-styled scientists to believe it1 even though it leads them into infidelity and atheism1 and causes the loss of their souls4 ,let us take another view4 ,let us assume that the pithecanthropus really lived #gej1jjj years ago1 as claimed1 which is #a4be of #fj1jjj1jjj years4 ,therefore1 its brain capacity then should have been #ih4ge normal1 or #adha4be c4c4 or #ah4ge c4c4 less than the normal #aejj c4c4 ,also #gej1jjj years is only 4#ae of #ejj1jjj1jjj years2 hence in that case1 the brain should have been #ii4he normal1 or #adig4ge c4c4 ,in either case1 the intelligence must have excelled that of many nations and races4 ,all these calculations prove positively that no such creatures as these four alleged ape-men ever could have lived in the age assigned to them2 or1 if so1 that none could have had1 at that time1 the low brain capacity claimed4 ,q4 ,e4 ,d4 ,is it not plain that for the last #b1jjj1jjj years out of #fj1jjj1jjj years1 the developing human race must have been over #bi_/cj or #if #b_/c normal1 in intelligence1 morality1 and spirituality8 ,this is greater than that of many peoples today4 ,with this high degree of intelligence1 man was capable of great inventions and discoveries4 ,not a single monument remains4 ,we would expect some great monument like the pyramids of ,egypt4 ,a race with such advancement1 for so many years would have been able to reach the heights of invention1 discovery1 and learning of the present age4 ,not a whit of evidence comes down to us4 ,if #b1jjj1jjj years ago1 man had the same skull capacity as the ape1 #fjj c4c41 he has gained #ijj c4c4 in #b1jjj1jjj years1 and only #fjj c4c4 in #eh1jjj1jjj years4 ,his improvement in the last #b1jjj1jjj years1 must have been #dc4e times as rapid as during the preceding #eh1jjj1jjj years2 or #cgc4e times as rapid as during the preceding #dih1jjj1jjj years4 ,how was that possible8 #ag4 ,,eight ,,impassable ,,gulfs ,the evolution theory1 stretching from matter to man1 is impossible1 because of many impassable gulfs4 ,some of these impassable gulfs are3-- #a4 ,between the living and non-living or dead matter2 #b4 ,between the vegetable and the animal kingdoms2 #c4 ,between the invertebrates and the vertebrates2 #d4 ,between marine animals and amphibians2 #e4 ,between amphibians and reptiles2 #f4 ,between reptiles and birds2 #g4 ,between reptiles and mammals2 #h4 ,between mammals and the human body2 #i4 ,between soulless simians and the soul of man1 bearing the image of ,god4 ,there is not a scrap of evidence that these gulfs have ever been crossed4 ,in the scheme1 the material must become living by spontaneous generation2 some plants must become invertebrate animals2 some invertebrates must become vertebrates2 some marine animals must become amphibians2 some amphibians must become reptiles2 some reptiles must become mammals2 some mammals must become humans2 some senseless1 soulless simians must acquire a soul and become spiritual enough to bear the image of ,god4 ,there is no convincing proof that any of these great and incredible advances were ever made4 ,if we estimate the probability of each transmutation at #aj1 which is too high1 then the probability that all these changes up to man were made is 4#a raised to the #hth power1 4#jjjjjjja4 ,therefore1 there is not more than one chance out of #ajj1jjj1jjj that these #h changes were made4 ,and if we estimate the probability of each great change at 4#jja1 which is doubtless still too high1 the probability that man took these #h great steps of evolution is one out of #a1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj1 or a million1 million1 million1 million4 ,if we estimate the probability of each change even at #fj1 which is far above all reason1 the probability of man's evolution through these #h changes is only #a out of #fj1 which marks an improbability close to an impossibility4 ,the highest estimate we can reasonably make1 destroys all hope that man or even any other species could have come by evolution4 ,few persons realize how improbable an event is made which depends upon a number of possibilities or even probabilities1 until calculated by the rule of ,compound ,mathematical ,probability4 ,imagine the ,copernican or the gravitation theory depending on a number of possibilities or probabilities6 ,no true theory is built on such an uncertain foundation4 ,but1 if the evolutionists could prove that #g out of #h of the great changes certainly did occur1 but failed to prove the #hth1 they would lose their case4 ,but they have failed in all4 ,they must prove all to win4 ,there is not the slightest probability that any one of these changes ever occurred4 ,hence1 the evolution of man from this long line of alleged ancestors is an absolute impossibility4 ,q4 ,e4 ,d4 ,none of these changes is now occurring4 ,there is no spontaneous generation now4 ,darwin himself said that spontaneous generation in the past was absolutely inconceivable4 ,no reptiles are becoming mammals1 none becoming birds1 no apes or monkeys are becoming men4 ,no species is now transmuted into another1 no new species arises4 ,is not this proof enough that such great changes never occurred8 ,moreover1 if dead matter caused one living germ1 why did it not cause more8 ,if some reptiles developed into mammals1 and birds1 why not all8 ,if one family of simians became human1 why not others8 ,why not at least become anthropoids8 ,why did all other members of the simian family not become at least part human8 ,why have they remained stationary8 ,besides1 we have with us yet the invertebrates that have not yet become vertebrates2 marine animals that have not become amphibians2 amphibians that have not become reptiles2 reptiles that have become neither mammals nor birds1 and a multitude of simians that have not become human1 and are not moving toward man either in bodily form or intelligence or spirituality4 ,we have the one-celled amoeba1 the microscopic animals1 and the lowest forms of animal life4 ,if the great law of progress and advancement to higher forms has prevailed for so many million years1 there should be none but the highest species4 ,all should have reached the status of human beings and there should be none of the lower forms of life which are so abundant4 ,changes so radical and vast1 stretching through so many ages1 would require millions of connecting links4 ,if reptiles became hairy mammals1 we would expect fossils of thousands1 if not millions1 in the transition state4 ,if some reptiles were changed into the #ab1jjj species of birds1 we would expect countless fossils1 part reptile1 part bird4 ,only one is claimed1 the archopteryx 7ancient bird71 two specimens of which are known1 which had a feathered tail1 and which is only a slight modification of other birds4 ,many other birds have departed farther from the normal4 ,there should be millions of fossils in the transition state if the theory were true4 ,we have proven elsewhere that there is no credible evidence of links connecting man with the monkey family4 ,there would have been many millions4 ,we have shown1 at length1 that some of these great changes1 especially the ,evolution of man from the brute1 could never have occurred4 ,no one of these nine great advances was ever made1 but it will suffice to examine now1 as examples1 two alleged great changes1 reptiles into mammals1 and reptiles into birds4 #a4 ,evolutionists say that mammals are descended from some reptiles1 unknown1 of course1 and birds from others1 also unknown4 ,mammals differ from reptiles in having breasts 7,latin1 mammae71 a four chambered heart instead of three1 a coat of hair or fur or wool1 and a womb for the young4 ,the temperature of the blood of reptiles is as low as #fj and even #dj degrees1 since the temperature of the blood is about the same as the environment1 sometimes approaching the freezing point4 ,but mammals have a temperature approaching #ajj4 ,we are to believe that one progressive branch of reptiles1 which passed through the sieve of natural selection1 during the ,permian ,ice ,age1 was capable of being adapted to the colder climate4 ,but this mighty chasm between reptiles and mammals was crossed unaided by any external interference1 unaided by ,god2 then the mammals groped their way1 without intelligence or design1 up to man6 ,the difficulties are too great to satisfy the serious student4 ,no satisfactory explanation has been given4 ,no fossils1 part reptile1 part mammal1 have been found4 ,we would naturally expect millions of them4 ,evidently none ever existed4 ,how could such radical changes be brought about8 ,what caused the development of hair1 fur and wool8 ,the change in the heart1 and the temperature1 the formation of the mammae and of the womb8 ,there is no evidence of such change4 ,but it is necessary to the scheme4 #b4 ,some reptiles became birds1 they say2 whether a pair for each of the #ab1jjj species of birds or one pair for all1 we can not learn4 ,for nobody knows4 ,they would like for us to believe that these cold-blooded reptiles with a temperature of #dj to #fj degrees became birds with a temperature as high as #ajg2 that wings and feathers were developed1 which must have been perfectly useless through the long ages during which they were developing2 that the wonderful contrivances in the wings and feathers were made by senseless reptiles that did not know what they were doing4 ,reptiles have a three-chambered heart1 making them cold-blooded4 ,birds have a four-chambered heart1 and a temperature higher than that of man4 ,reptiles left their eggs to hatch in the sun4 ,birds1 by a fine instinct1 built their nests with care4 ,some reptiles have #d feet1 some #b1 some none4 ,all birds have two feet4 ,the bird's structure is so well suited for flight and shows the marks of design so clearly1 that the clumsy aeroplane is but a poor imitation4 ,yet to link the #ab1jjj species of birds to their unknown reptilian ancestors1 they show us two fossils of the archopteryx1 as the sum total of the evidence showing the transition from reptiles to birds4 ,the fossil varies slightly but not essentially from other birds4 ,it has a feathered tail1 some teeth and claws4 ,it is probably not a connecting link at all1 and if it were1 we would expect a million fossils of connecting links4 ,all these nine transmutations are devoid of a single sure connecting link1 when we would expect millions in every case4 ,these facts prove that evolution is a delusion and an absurdity4 #ah4 ,,ancestral ,,apes ,,and ,,monkeys ,many have taught that man was descended from an ape or monkey4 ,evolutionists1 ashamed of a doctrine so repugnant to all reason and so revolting to mankind1 vainly imagine they can escape the odium of such a view1 by declaring that man is not descended from an ape or monkey1 but that all the primates including all monkeys1 apes1 and man1 sprang from a common ancestor4 ,of this alleged ancestor not a single fossil remains4 ,dr4 ,chapin1 ,social ,evolution1 page #ci1 says3 ,when the doctrine of the descent of man was first advanced1 superficial and popular writers immediately jumped at the conclusion that naturalists believed that man was descended from the monkey4 ,this1 of course1 is quite absurd1 as man obviously could not be descended from a form of life now living4 ,the ape and the monkey family1 together with man are probably 787 descended from some generalized ape-like form long since perished from the earth4 ,suppose this absurd and unsupported guess to be correct4 ,then the gorillas1 chimpanzees1 gibbons1 orang-outangs and other apes2 the baboons and other monkeys2 and the lemurs and man were brothers and sisters1 or otherwise closely related1 and all were descended immediately or nearly so from a common ancestor lower than any4 ,where is the comfort or gain8 ,moreover1 all the members of this primate family must have inter-breeded for ages1 until1 according to the theory1 they became distinct species4 ,therefore1 the ancestors of man1 for ages1 must have been descended from all these members of the primate family1 and are thus the offspring of all these repulsive brutes1 and the blood of them all is in our veins6 ,in attempting to rescue us from the ape as our ancestor1 they have shown that we are descendants of the whole monkey family and every species of ape and of many of their more disreputable relatives also4 ,great is evolution6 ,it certainly would be impossible for one single pair to have become the ancestors of the human race1 without mixing and interbreeding with their kindred primates4 ,where are the descendants of these mongrel breeds1 part monkey and part man8 ,we would expect all gradations of mixed animals from monkey to man4 ,two or three millions of years ago an enormous family of monkeys spread over ,europe1 ,asia and ,africa4 ,all related1 many our ancestors4 ,why did not some other species of the primates equal or excel man or advance part way between man and the brute8 ,why are they not now becoming human8 ,it is plain to the sincere student that the evolution of man from the brute is only the product of the imagination of those who wish to deny special creation and exclude ,god from his universe4 ,the slight external resemblance between man and the ape family is more than offset by structural differences which deny kinship4 ,alfred ,mc,cann in his great book ,god--or ,gorilla says1 p4 #bd1 ,man has #ab pairs of ribs2 the gibbon and chimpanzee1 #ac2 man has #ab dorsal vertebrae2 the chimpanzee and gorilla1 #ac2 the gibbon1 #ad4 ,the gorilla has massive spines on the cervical vertebrae above the scapula2 and1 like the other quadrumana 7#d-;handed animals7 has an opposable thumb on the hind foot4 ,there are wide differences in the shape of the skull1 thorax1 femur1 and even the liver4 ,the skeleton of the brutes is much more massive4 ,on the tips of the fingers and thumbs of the human hand are lines arranged in whorls1 for identification4 ,in monkeys1 the lines are parallel on the finger tips1 but whorls on the palm4 ,is it possible that man and such brutes came from the same parents8 #ai4 ,a ,,staggering ,,speculation ,the theory that all plants and animals have descended from one primordial germ1 is staggering to the mind4 ,if so1 how was it8 ,did this original germ split in two1 like some disease germs1 one of them the beginning of plant life1 and the other the head of all animal life8 ,or1 did vegetation only1 grow from this first germ for ages1 and then some of it turn into species of animals8 ,as if the guess were worthy of attention1 some are ready to assert that early vegetation ,algae turned into animals4 ,did plants become animals somewhere along the way8 ,or did animals1 somewhere along the way1 turn into plants8 ,how long did they interbreed before the gap became too wide8 ,where are the descendants of the union between plants and animals8 ,if animals were first developed from this first germ1 what did they live on while there was no vegetation8 ,what folly is like the folly of the evolutionist who claims that such weird speculation is science8 ,great gaps between the principal divisions of the animal world are fatal to this speculation1 which rests upon nothing but the wish that it were so4 ,links are lacking between marine and amphibian animals2 reptiles and birds2 reptiles and mammals2 between apes and man4 ,of course1 we would find fossils of millions of these links if there were any4 ,the missing links are necessary to the scheme4 ,is there one chance in a million that evolution is a true hypothesis8 #bj4 ,,sex ,can the evolutionist explain the origin of sex8 ,starting with one germ or even a few germs1 reproduction must have been by division for a time4 ,if the germ that became the head of all plant life1 reproduced by division1 when did it begin to reproduce by seeds8 ,it is still more difficult to explain when sex life began in animals4 ,there could have been no sex life at first1 and perhaps for ages4 ,they can not tell us when the animals1 by chance1 acquired the wonderful adaptation of the sexual life4 ,they have no evidence whatever4 ,their guess is no better than that of others4 ,it passes credulity to believe that the sexual life1 with all its marvelous design1 was reached by the invention of irrational animals1 when man1 with all his powers of reason1 invention1 and discovery1 is helpless even to understand the great wisdom and power that brought it about4 ,can blind chance1 or aimless effort by senseless brutes1 accomplish more than the amazing design of an infinitely wise and powerful ,god8 ,how was the progeny of mammals kept alive1 during the ages required for the slow development of the mammae8 #ba4 ,,man ,,hairless ,,and ,,tailless ,how did man become a hairless animal8 is a hard question for evolutionists4 ,any scientific theory must be ready to give an account of all phenomena4 ,a hypothesis to explain the origin of man must explain all the facts4 ,how did man become a hairless animal8 ,darwin's explanation is too puerile for any one professing to be a learned scientist to give4 ,he says that the females preferred males with the least hair 787 until the hairy men gradually became extinct1 because1 naturally1 under such a regime1 the hairy men would die off1 and1 finally only hairless men to beget progeny would survive4 ,what do sensible1 serious students think of this scientific explanation8 ,if we try to take this explanation seriously1 we find that the science of phrenology teaches that females1 as a rule1 inherit the traits of their fathers1 and males the traits of their mothers4 ,hence1 not the males but the females would become hairless by this ridiculous process4 ,how do evolutionists account for the hair left on the head and other parts of the body8 ,why do men have beard1 while women and children do not8 ,if the hair left on the body is vestigial1 why is there no hair on the back1 where it was most abundant on our brute ancestors8 ,even ,wallace1 an evolutionist of ,darwin's day1 who did not believe in the evolution of man1 calls attention to the fact that even the so-called vestigial hair on the human form is entirely absent from the back1 while it is very abundant and useful on the backs of the monkey family4 ,if there was any good reason why the human brute should lose his hair1 why for the same reason1 did not other species of the monkey family lose their hair8 ,can it be explained by natural selection8 ,was the naked brute better fitted to survive than the hairy animal8 ,did man survive because he was naked1 and the hairy brute perish8 ,evidently not1 for the hairy brute still exists in great abundance4 ,the best way to get rid of the hair of the brute is for some reconstructing artist1 like ,prof4 ,j4 ,h4 ,mc,gregor1 to take it off4 ,in a picture widely copied by books in favor of evolution1 photographed from his restorations1 the pithecanthropus1 the ,neanderthal man1 and the ,cro-,magnon man are represented almost without hair on the body or even without beard4 ,only the ,neanderthal man has a tiny ,charlie ,chaplin mustache4 ,their hair had not been combed for #a1jjj1jjj years2 yet we could not detect it4 ,a sympathetic artist can make a restoration suit his fancy and support any theory4 ,if we are descended from simian stock1 how did we come to lose our tails8 ,would not the same causes1 if any1 cause all the species to lose their tails8 ,according to the laws of biometry1 ought we not to find a retrogression of sections of the human race1 who would sport simian tails and be clothed with simian hair8 ,or1 could natural selection explain the loss of the tail on the ground that all the monkeys with tails died off1 while the tailless ones survived1 and developed into human beings8 ,in that case1 a tail must have been a fatal imperfection4 #bb4 ,,hybrids ,hybrids would seem to be nature's most available means of producing new species4 ,yet the sterility of hybrids defeats that possibility1 and rebukes the untruthful claim of the formation of new species4 ,nature1 with sword in hand1 decrees the death of hybrids1 lest they might produce a new species4 ,moses wrote the rigid unchanging law of nature1 when he said that every living creature would bring forth after its kind4 ,species are immutable4 ,one does not become another1 or unite with another to produce a third4 ,dogs do not become cats1 nor interbreed to produce another species4 ,a few species1 so nearly related that we can scarcely tell whether they are species or varieties1 as the jackass and the mare1 may have offspring1 but the offspring are sterile4 ,the zebra and the mare may produce a zebulon1 which is likewise sterile4 ,and so with the offspring of other groups intermediate between species and varieties4 ,a human being and ape can not beget an ape-human1 showing that they are not even nearly related species4 ,if evolution be true1 we would expect a frequent interbreeding and interchanging of species4 ,even ,darwin admitted that species are immutable4 ,god declared it in his word1 and stamps it indelibly on every species4 ,and ,god said1 ',let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind1 cattle1 and creeping thing1 and beast of the earth1 after its kind'4-,gen4 #a3bd4 ,how did ,moses know this great truth1 unless he was told by inspiration of ,god8 ,even plant-hybrids are not permanent4 ,darwin himself says3 ,but plants not propagated by seed1 are of little importance to us1 for their endurance is only temporary4 ,even if it could be proven that species1 like varieties1 are formed by development1 it does not follow that genera and families and classes are so developed4 ,but it has not been proved that a single species has been added by development1 much less orders1 families and genera4 ,evolution must account for every division and sub-division to plant and animal life4 ,darwin answers the objection to the sterility of hybrids by saying1 ,we do not know4 ,but why1 he says1 in the case of distinct species1 the sexual elements should so generally have become more or less modified1 leading to their mutual infertility1 we do not know4 ,but ,god knows4 #bc4 ,,the ,,instinct ,,of ,,animals ,the instinct of animals is not due to their own intelligence4 ,it is unerring1 unchangeable1 without improvement or deterioration4 ,it implies knowledge and wisdom of the highest order4 ,it is beyond the wisdom of man4 ,it comes direct from ,god4 ,it is not learned nor gained by experience4 ,it is found in many species of animals1 and even in a child1 until knowledge and reason make it unnecessary4 ,one of the most familiar illustrations is the instinct of the honey bee4 ,it builds its cells in exact geometric form and we compute1 by ,calculus1 that the form it uses produces the greatest capacity in proportion to the amount of material used4 ,who taught the bee to build its cell1 displaying greater knowledge than that of many a college graduate8 ,darwin says 7,origin of ,species71 ,it can be clearly shown that the most wonderful instincts with which we are acquainted1 namely those of the honey bee1 could not possibly have been acquired by habit4 ,we quote from ,granville's ,calculus1 p4 #aai3 ,we know that the shape of a bee cell is hexagonal1 giving a certain capacity for honey with the greatest possible economy of wax4 ,this is demonstrated by the solution of a problem in this same ,calculus4 ,darwin again says 7,origin of ,species1 vol4 ,i1 p4 #cdb71 ,we hear from mathematicians1 that bees have practically solved a recondite problem1 and have made their cells of the proper shape to hold the greatest possible amount of honey1 with the least possible consumption of precious wax in their construction4 ,it has been remarked that a skilful workman1 with fitting tools and measures1 would find it very difficult to make cells of wax of the true form1 though this is effected by a crowd of bees1 working in a dark room4 ,each cell1 as is well known1 is a hexagonal prism1 with the basal edges of its six sides1 beveled so as to join an inverted pyramid of three rhombs4 ,these rhombs have certain angles1 and the three which form the pyramidal base of a single cell on one side of the comb1 enter into the composition of the bases of the three adjoining cells on the opposite side4 ,can any one suggest an improvement or show an imperfection8 ,if this intelligence is the bee's own1 which is far superior to that of the ape1 why did not the bee develop a human brain8 ,yet in spite of ,darwin's admission1 he labors hard to show that ,there is no real difficulty under changing conditions of life1 in natural selection accumulating to any extent slight modifications of instinct which are in any way useful6 ,how could the working bee conserve the gains accumulated by experience or habit8 ,the drone is the father and the queen is the mother of the sterile female working bee4 ,neither parent knows how to build a cell4 ,how could they transmit their knowledge or their habits to the working bee8 ,every new swarm of bees would not know how to build their cells4 ,there is no improvement from generation to generation4 ,even if instinct in other animals could be accounted for1 evolution can not account for the instinct of the working bees1 since they are not descendants of other working bees1 from which they might inherit habits or instinct4 ,is not the instinct of the bee the intelligence of ,god1 disproving the heresy of an absentee ,god8 ,here again we get a glimpse of the unerring wisdom of ,god4 ,the immoveable oyster1 the bee alive with divine intelligence1 and the sterile progeny of the jackass1 are enough to upset the whole theory of evolution4 #bd4 ,,special ,,creation3 ,,gen4 ,i ,evolution can not be true1 because it contradicts the inspired word of ,god4 ,we do not speak arbitrarily and say1 without proof1 that whatever contradicts the revealed word of ,god can not be true1 although such an attitude could be easily defended4 ,disregarding all the many other cogent and legitimate arguments in support of a divine revelation1 we will appeal to the remarkable harmony between the story of ,creation in ,genesis and the modern sciences4 ,this could not be1 if ,god had not revealed to ,moses the story of creation4 ,moses personally knew nothing revealed by the sciences of today4 ,and the man of that day who would invent the story of creation1 would be sure to conflict with one or more of the following modern sciences3 geology1 astronomy1 zoology1 biology1 geography1 chemistry1 physics1 anatomy1 philology1 archaeology1 history1 ethics1 religion1 etc4 ,there is not one chance in a million that a writer of a fictitious account would not have run amuck among many of these sciences1 if1 like ,moses1 he had no personal knowledge of them4 ,although the ,babylonian account may have had some foundation in fact1 from a tradition of a prior revelation1 it plainly bears the marks of error4 ,the ,babylonian stories of creation are full of grotesque and polytheistic ideas1 while those of the ,bible speak only of the one living and true ,god4 ,all things1 the ,babylonian legend says1 were produced at the first from ,tiamat4 ,the gods came into being in long succession1 but1 at length1 enmity arose between them and ,tiamat1 who created monsters to oppose them4 ,merodach1 a solar deity1 vanquished ,tiamat1 cut her body in two1 and with one-half of it made a firmament supporting the upper waters in the sky1 etc41 etc4 ,the ,babylonian gods1 like even those of the classics1 were criminals fit only for prison or death4 ,alfred ,russell ,wallace1 who1 with ,darwin1 devised the evolution theory1 says3 ,there must have been three interpositions of a ,divine and supernatural power to account for things as they are3 the agreement of science with ,genesis is very striking3 ,there is a gulf between matter and nothing2 one between life and the non-living2 and a third between man and the lower creation2 and science can not bridge them6 ,this striking agreement between science and ,genesis ,i1 is shown by the fact that at least #aa great events are enumerated in the same order as claimed by modern science3 #a4 ,the earth was waste and void2 #b4 ,darkness was upon the face of the deep2 #c4 ,light appears2 #d4 ,a clearing expanse1 or firmament2 #e4 ,the elevation of the land and the formation of the seas2 #f4 ,grass1 herbs and fruit trees appear2 #g4 ,the sun1 moon and stars appear2 #h4 ,marine animals were created2 #i4 ,winged fowls were created2 #aj4 ,land animals were created2 #aa4 ,man was created4 ,the chance of guessing the exact order of these #aa great events is ascertained by the law of permutations-the product of the numbers from #a to #aa1 which is #ci1iaf1hjj4 ,therefore1 ,moses had one chance out of #ci1iaf1hjj to guess the correct order of these #aa great events1 as revealed both by science and revelation4 ,if1 for example1 the first #aa letters of the alphabet were arranged in some unknown miscellaneous order1 any one would have but one chance out of #ci1iaf1hjj to guess the order4 ,if ,moses did not have the order revealed to him1 he never could have guessed it4 ,therefore1 he was inspired and was told the order4 ,this mathematical demonstration annihilates the contradicting theory of evolution4 ,at once it proves that the account was divinely inspired1 and man came by special creation and not by evolution4 ,the fact that the language of ,genesis is in remarkable harmony with all proven modern scientific theories1 and manifestly confirmed by them1 is a proof in favor of the creation story1 decisive and final4 ,this harmony is manifest whether the ,heb4 yom1 day1 be taken to mean a long period1 as advocated by many biblical scholars1 or a literal day of #bd hours1 followed1 it may be1 by years or ages of continuance of the work1 before the next day's work of #bd hours began4 ,believing that this interpretation does no violence to the text1 and that it is especially in harmony with the statements in the fourth commandment and elsewhere in the ,bible1 it is here briefly presented as one interpretation1 showing the marvelous harmony between revelation and the proven1 and even the generally accepted1 scientific theories4 ,the stately procession of events is the same1 no matter which interpretation is accepted1 and doubtless will remain1 even if both must yield to another and better interpretation4 ,this majestic divine order1 in harmony with both science and revelation1 removes all doubt of special creation4 ,another interpretation1 advocated by many scholars1 is that all geologic ages may have intervened during the time indicated between the #ast and #bnd verses of ,gen4 ,i4 ,the following is a possible1 and1 it would seem1 a probable interpretation of the inspired creation story4 ,the words of ,scripture1 whether from the ,american ,revision1 or marginal rendering of the original ,hebrew1 or other translation1 are put in quotation marks3-- ,,the ,,creation--,,general ,,statement ,in the beginning ,god created the heavens and the earth1 including the sun1 moon and stars1 and all other matter in any form4 ,,detailed ,,statement ,,of ,,the ,,order ,,of ,,creation ,and the earth was waste and void1 literally desolation and emptiness4 ,and1 on account of the thick vapors in the hot atmosphere1 darkness was upon the face of the deep1 and doubtless had been for ages4 ,and the ,spirit of ,god was brooding upon the face of the waters1 and perhaps was calling into being the lowest forms of marine life4 ,the ,first ,day's ,work4 ,light ,appears4 ,and ,god said1 ',let the light appear'1 through the thick vapors4 ,and the light appeared1 so that the day could now be distinguished from the night4 ,and there was evening1 and there was morning1 one day4 ,this day did not need to be an age or even #bd hours for ,god's work4 ,how long did it take light to appear8 ,many years1 and even ages1 may have followed between each day's work as the days were not necessarily consecutive1 and it is not so stated4 ,second ,day's ,work4 ,a ,clearing ,expanse4 ,and ,god said1 ',let there be a clearing expanse 7called heaven7 dividing the waters which were on the earth from the waters in the thick clouds above1 firmly suspended in the air'4 ,this may have continued a long time1 though begun in #bd hours4 ,third ,day's ,work4 ,land1 sea and vegetation appear4 ,and ,god said1 ',let the waters under the expanse be gathered together into one place 7seas and oceans71 and let the dry land appear'4 ,the contraction of the cooling earth caused the elevation of the land1 and the draining of the waters into the seas4 ,the geologist ,lyell says1 ,all land has been under water4 ,hitchcock says1 ,the surface of the globe has been a shoreless ocean4 ,and the earth brought forth grass1 herb yielding seed after its kind1 and tree bearing fruit1 wherein is the seed thereof1 after its kind4 ,though the sun was not yet visible on account of dense clouds and vapors1 the warm1 humid atmosphere was suitable for the grass1 herbs1 and fruit trees1--three great classes which represented the vegetable kingdom4 ,ages may have again intervened4 ,the ,fourth ,day's ,work4 ,sun1 moon and stars made visible4 ,and ,god said1 ',let lights be seen in the open expanse of heaven1 to divide the day from the night2 and let them be for signs and for seasons1 and for days and years'4 ,and ,god made the two great lights to appear1 since neither had been seen through the thick clouds1 the greater light to rule the day1 and the lesser light to rule the night4 ,he made the stars also to appear4 ,though created first1 the stars would appear last4 ,ages more may have intervened4 ,the ,fifth ,day's ,work4 ,animal life in sea and air4 ,and ,god said1 ',let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures1 and let birds fly above the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heaven'4 ,and ,god created great sea monsters1 and every living creature that moveth which the waters brought forth abundantly1 after their kinds1 and every winged fowl after its kind4 ,geology and ,moses alike testify that swarms of animals filled the seas4 ,the ages rolled on while they filled the waters of the seas and fowl multiplied on the earth4 ,the ,sixth ,day's ,work4 ,the creation of land-animals and man4 ,and ,god said1 ',let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind1 cattle and creeping things1 and beast of the earth after its kind'4 ,the fifth day animals began to swarm the seas2 the sixth day1 to cover the land4 ,and ,god said1 ',let us make man in our image1 after our likeness'1 in knowledge after the image of him that created him1 7,col4 #c3aj7 and in righteousness and true holiness1 7,eph4 #d3bd74 ,yet a professor in a great university was so dense as to insist that the ,scriptures taught that the likeness was not in knowledge1 righteousness and true holiness1 but in the bodily form4 ,so ,god created man in his own image1 in the image of ,god created he him4 ,the last of all creation as both revelation and science testify4 ,the image is mental and moral and spiritual4 ,no such image in any other species4 ,the body chosen was higher and better than the form of any animal4 ,it resembles the bodies of mammals of the highest type4 ,why should it not8 ,the vast number of animal species1 of almost every conceivable size and shape1 could not furnish a form so well adapted to the use of man as that which the ,creator gave him4 ,would it have been better if man had been created in the form of a fish1 a lizard1 a serpent1 a dog1 or a horse1 or a bird8 ,how could the body have been created without bearing resemblance to some form of the million species of animals8 ,a resemblance can be traced through the whole creation1 the material as well as the animal1 but it does not follow that one species is descended from another1 but that there was one general plan1 and one ,god4 ,the existence of man1 who can not be otherwise accounted for1 proves the existence of the ,creator4 #be4 ,,analogy2 ,,mathematics1 ,,laws ,analogy raises a presumption against evolution4 ,analogy is not a demonstration4 ,it is an illustration that strengthens and confirms other arguments4 ,both the science of mathematics and all physical laws must have come into being in an instant of time4 ,evolution is not ,god's usual method of creation4 #a4 ,,mathematics4--,there is no evolution in the science of mathematics4 ,there is no change or growth or development4 ,god is the author of all mathematical principles4 ,the square described on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares described on the other two sides1 because he made it so4 ,the circumference of a circle is approximately #c4adaf times the diameter because he made it so4 ,the wonderful calculations by logarithms1 whether by the common system with a base of #aj1 or the ,napierian system with a base of #b4gah a decimal that never terminates1 are possible and reliable only because ,god made them so4 ,think what great intelligence is required by the ,napierian system1 to raise a decimal that never terminates1 to a decimal power that never terminates1 in order to produce an integral number4 ,yet ,god has computed instantaneously every table of logarithms1 and every other mathematical table1--no matter how difficult4 ,thus we have positive proof of the presence everywhere of a great intelligent ,being1 and we catch a glimpse of that mind that must be infinite4 ,he created the whole system of mathematics1 vast beyond our comprehension1 at once4 ,a part could not exist without the whole4 ,no growth2 no change2 no evolution2 no improvement1 because the whole system was perfect from the first4 ,reasoning from analogy1 is it not reasonable to say that the ,god who flashed upon the whole universe1 the limitless system of mathematics in an instant1 also created man as ,moses said8 ,analogy supports the doctrine of the special creation of man in a day4 ,the great system of mathematics which could not exist without a creator1 is so extensive that #dj units are taught in a single university4 ,new subjects are added1 new text books written1 new formulas devised1 new principles demonstrated1--and the subject is by no means exhausted4 ,he1 by whose will this fathomless science came into existence1 knows more than all the mathematicians of the

instant of time4 ,no growth1 no change1 no development1 no evolution4 ,the presumption is that ,god created all things in a similar way4 ,if it was wisest and best to bring into being the great science of mathematics and fix all physical laws1--all in a moment of time1 why should he consume #fj1jjj1jjj or #ejj1jjj1jjj years in bringing man into existence8 ,evolution is all out of harmony with ,god's other methods of work4 ,gravitation was complete from the first4 ,no growth2 no evolution4 ,the laws of light1 heat1 electricity1 etc41 remain unchanged4 ,light travels with the same

perfect and complete laws prevail1 touching light1 heat1 electricity1 gravitation1 etc4 ,god makes no mistakes and no evolution is needed4 ,does not this furnish a presumption that ,god could and did create man complete and full grown with a wonderful body1 and a soul in his own image8 ,in this discussion1 we have spoken of the laws of nature1 after common usage4 ,but laws are only a record of ,god's acts4 ,an unchangeable ,god makes unchangeable laws4 ,there is a rigid fixity written over the face of nature4 ,every law and principle is complete and perfect and finished1 and there is no room for evolution4 ,matter did not create itself1 nor evolute nor grow4 ,it must have been created instantaneously by the power of ,god1 whether in a nebulous condition or not4 ,so enchanting is their theory1 that many profess to believe that not only were all species of animals and plants evolved from a single germ1 but that even matter itself was evolved out of nothing4 ,this theory of evolution as wide as the universe1 as ponderous as the stars1 is supported only by the weak stork legs of wistful possibility4 #bf4 ,,desperate ,,arguments ,many arguments gravely given in support of evolution1 reveal a great poverty of facts and logic4 ,an instantaneous photograph of an infant1 three weeks old1 supporting its own weight for over two minutes1 is given by ,romanes as a proof that

,just how this affords any convincing proof that man is a monkey1 we leave the reader to figure out4 ,our attention is called to the way this child and another child1 whose picture is likewise generally copied1 hold their feet 7like monkeys climbing trees7 showing they are little monkeys4 ,though we fail to see the force of this argument1 it must be among their best from the emphasis they give it4 ,prof4 ,h4 ,h4 ,newman1 of ,chicago ,university1 a leading evolutionist actually writes as follows1 7,readings73 ,the common cotton-tail rabbit raises its white tail when it runs4 ,this is interpreted by whom1 evolutionists or rabbits8 as a signal of danger to other rabbits4 ,the following absurd speculation1 by a lecturer in the ,university ,extension ,course1 was printed in the

,trinil in the island of ,java4 ,it lived1 it is said1 #gej1jjj years ago4 ,he found1 buried in the ,pleistocene beds1 #dj feet below the surface in the sand1 the upper portion of a skull1 a tooth and a thigh bone4 ,it was fortunate1 says ,dr4 ,chapin1 that the most distinctive portions of the human 7sic7 frame should have been preserved1 because from these specimens1 we are able to reconstruct 787 the being1 and to say with assurance 767 that his walk was erect in manlike posture1 that he had mental power considerably above the ape1 7it will not do to be too definite7 and his powers of speech were somewhat limited4 7,a string of guesses wholly unwarranted47 ,this man stood half way between the anthropoid and the existing men4--,social ,evolution1 p4 #fa4 ,a high authority declares1--,shortly after this discovery1 #bd of the most eminent scientists of ,europe met4 ,ten said that the bones belonged to an ape2 #g1 to a man2 and #g 7less than one-third7 said they were a missing link4 ,some of the most eminent scientists say that some of the bones belong to a man1 and some to an ape1 baboon1 or monkey4 ,the great ,prof4 ,virchow says3 ,there is no evidence at all that these bones were parts of the same creature4 ,but such adverse opinions do not weigh much with modern evolutionists determined to win at all hazards4 ,the small section of the brain pan1 weighing but a few ounces1 was found about #ej feet from the thigh bone4 ,one tooth was found #c feet from the fragment of skull1 and one near the thigh bone1 #ej feet away4 ,since the small section of the brain pan belonged to a chimpanzee1 and the thigh bone is that of a man1 is it likely that these scattered bones belonged to the same creature8 ,even if they did1 is it likely that these bones would be preserved in the sand #gej1jjj years1 or even #cge1jjj years according to a later estimate8 ,we know that petrified skeletons1 encased in rock1 may be millions of years old1 but where are the unpetrified skeletons of men who lived even #e1jjj years ago8 ,if unpetrified skeletons could last #gej1jjj years1 there would be millions of them4 ,without a doubt1 this skull of a chimpanzee1 and femur of a man1 belong to a modern beast and a modern man1 buried by floods or earthquakes1 or some other convulsion of nature1 or by slow accumulations4 ,it is said that the ,jerusalem of ,christ's day is buried #bj feet under the surface1 by the quiet accretions of the dust of #aijj years4 ,rome also has been covered up in recent centuries4 ,it would be easy for #dj feet of sand to accumulate over the bones of a modern man or chimpanzee in a valley1 in a few centuries1 if #bj feet of dust accumulated on the mountain city of ,jerusalem in #aijj years4 ,elsewhere we have shown that an ape-man with a cranium of two-thirds normal capacity must have lived at least #bj1jjj1jjj years ago1--one third the period of animal existence2 or even #aff1fff1fff years ago1 if we accept a later claim that life has existed #ejj1jjj1jjj years4 ,it is absolutely impossible that a normal creature of the alleged mental capacity could have lived #gej1jjj years ago1 much less #cge1jjj1 according to a later estimate cutting in two the first one4 ,but the quickest way to disprove these wild guesses is to check them up by a mathematical test4 ,if these bones are normal1 such an ape-man could not have lived at the time assigned4 ,if they are not normal1 they prove nothing whatever for evolution4 ,they can be duplicated now4 ,we are asked to believe that these scattered bones1--some the bones of a modern brute1 some the bones of a modern man--were preserved in the sand #gej1jjj years and belonged to an ancestor of the human race1 while of the millions of his generation and of the generations following for many thousands of years1 we have not a trace6 ,we are asked upon such a flimsy pretext to accept a theory1 unsupported by a single compelling argument1 and irreconcilable with numerous facts1--a theory which takes away man's hope of immortality1 destroys faith in ,god and his inspired word1 and in the ,christian religion itself4 ,there is a limit4 ,how much more truthful and majestic is ,gen4 #a3bg3 ,and ,god created man in his own image1 in the image of ,god created he him4 ,one distinguished evolutionist has said1 ,we might as well be made out of monkey as out of mud4 ,it is mud or monkey4 ,most of us would retort1 ,i would rather be created a human being out of the filthiest mud by ,almighty ,god than owe my existence to the brainiest monkey that ever lived4 ,please note1 ,the ,lord ,god formed man of the dust of the ground1 not mud4 ,the evolutionists are as wild in their exegesis as in their guesses4 #b4 ,,the ,,heidelberg ,,jaw4 ,the second relic1 in the order of time1 relied upon by the evolutionists to prove the brute origin of man1 is a human jaw of great antiquity1 discovered in the sands of the ,mauer ,river1 near ,heidelberg4 ,hence1 it is called the ,mauer jaw1 or the ,heidelberg ,jaw1 or ,heidelberg man1 or the high sounding ,latin name of ,homo ,heidelbergensis4 ,it needs all the names that can be given to it1 to elevate it to the dignity of an ancestor4 ,this jaw was found in undisturbed stratified sand1 7sand again7 at the depth of about #fi feet from the summit of the deposit4 ,dr4 ,schoetensack1 the discoverer1 says1 ,had the teeth been absent1 it would have been impossible to diagnose it as human4 ,they say it is #gjj1jjj years old1 preserved in sand4 ,a later estimate says #cge1jjj years4 7,any wild guess will do47 ,it resembles the jaw of an ape1 and the tooth of a man4 ,was it not likely the abnormal jaw of a modern man1 in historic time swept into the sands by the freshets and floods of a few centuries8 ,it is only fair to say that many scientists of the evolutionary school1 do not believe the ,heidelberg man an ancestor of our race4 ,these remains1 says one1 show no trace of being intermediate between man and the anthropoid ape4 ,some claim it a connecting link4 ,others deny it4 ,some say the find is of the utmost value2 others say it is worthless4 ,all are guesses1 wild guesses at that4 ,they hopefully reach out their hands in the night1 and gather nothing but handfuls of darkness4 ,since a modern ,eskimo skull has been shown by a distinguished scientist to have the same appearance and peculiarities as the ,heidelberg jaw1 it is easy to believe that this jaw can be duplicated in many graveyards4 ,greater abnormalities1 in great numbers1 can be found in the skeletons of modern man4 ,without doubt1 this jaw belongs to modern man1 and has no evidential value at all in favor of evolution4 ,we count these relics normal1 in our arguments1 because evolutionists do4 ,if they are not normal1 they are the remains of modern man and brutes and their whole argument falls to the ground4 #c4 ,,the ,,piltdown ,,man 7,,or ,,fake74 ,the next fragments of bones1 in chronological order1 upon which evolutionists rely to prove their impossible theory1 has been called the ,piltdown man4 ,it has been more truthfully called the ,piltdown fake4 ,dr4 ,chapin gravely tells us 7,social ,evolution1 p4 #fg73 ,during the years #aiab1 a series of fragments of a human skull and a jaw bone were found associated with eolithic implements and the bones of extinct mammals in ,pleistocene deposits on a plateau1 #hj feet above the river bed1 at ,piltdown1 ,fletching1 ,sussex1 ,eng44444,the remains were of great importance4 ,the discoverers regard this relic as a specimen of a distinct genus of the human species and it has been called ,eoanthropus ,dawsoni4 ,this extinct man lived in ,europe hundreds of thousands of years ago4 ,we have passed over #bjj1jjj to #cjj1jjj years since the ,heidelberg man1 that have not yielded a scrap of bone1 though according to the theory1 countless millions of ape-men must have lived in various stages of development1 in that great stretch of time4 ,why were not some of them preserved8 ,simply because there were no ape-men4 ,there are countless relics of apes1 but none of ape-men4 ,even ,wells says3 ,at a great open-air camp at ,solutre1 where they seem to have had annual gatherings for many centuries1 it is estimated there are the bones of #ajj1jjj horses4 ,would we not expect as many bones of ape-men8 ,while ,wells says the bones of #ajj1jjj horses were found in a single locality1 ,dr4 ,ales ,hrdlicka says that the bones of #bjj1jjj prehistoric horses were found in another place4 ,why should we not find1 for the same reason1 the bones of millions of ape-men and ape-women in #gej1jjj years8 ,instead of millions we have the alleged fragments of #d1 all of which are of a very doubtful character4 ,the bones of this precious ,piltdown find consisted1 at first1 of a piece of the jaw bone1 another small piece of bone from the skull1 and a canine tooth1 which the zealous evolutionists located in the lower right jaw1 when it belonged in the upper left2 later1 two molar teeth and two nasal bones1--scarcely a double hand full in all4 ,an ape-man was reconstructed made to look like an ape-man1 according to the fancy of the artist4 ,the artist can create an ape-man1 even if ,god could not create a real man6 ,but scientists said the teeth did not belong to the same skull1 and the jaw could not be associated with the same skull4 ,ales ,hrdlicka says1 ,the jaw and the tooth belong to a fossil chimpanzee4 ,conscientious scientists said that the pieces of the jaw and skull could not belong to the same individual4 ,they constructed a scarecrow from the bones of an ape and of a man1 and offer this1 without the batting of an eye1 as a scientific proof of the antiquity of man4 ,the great anthropologist of world-wide reputation1 ,prof4 ,virchow1 said3 ,in vain have ,darwin's adherents sought for connecting links which should connect man with the monkey4 ,not a single one has been found4 ,this so-called pro-anthropus1 which is supposed to represent this connecting link1 has not appeared4 ,no true scientist claims to have seen him4 ,sir ,ray ,lancaster1 writing to ,h4 ,g4 ,wells1 concerning the ,piltdown find1 says1 ,we are stumped and baffled4 ,yet in spite of all this1 nearly #a1jjj1jjj persons annually pass through the ,american ,museum of ,natural ,history in ,new ,york1 and view the reconstruction according to the artist's fancy1 of the pithecanthropus1 the ,heidelberg man1 the ,piltdown man1 and the ,neanderthal man1 the ancestors of the human race2 and the multitude of high school students and teachers1 as well as the general public1 are not told how dubious and unscientific the representation is4 ,the brain capacity of the ,piltdown individual 7man or ape7 is set down by his discoverers at #ajgj c4c41 which is #bh #b_/c short of the normal skull capacity1 #aejj c4c4 ,therefore1 he must have lived #ag1bjj1jjj years ago1 if we accept the estimate of #fj1jjj1jjj years since life began2 or #adc1ccc1ccc years ago1 if we accept the later guess of #ejj1jjj1jjj years4 ,it could not have lived near the time assigned4 ,in short1 no guess of the origin of man that differs materially from the time assigned in the word of ,god1 can be harmonized with the facts4 #d4 ,,the ,,neanderthal ,,man4 ,the next slender prop is the ,neanderthal man1 claimed to be #dj1jjj to #ej1jjj years old1 although we are told that that is very uncertain4 ,dr4 ,chapin says1 ,the first important discovery of the existence of an early example of mankind differing markedly from any living 787 and of a decidedly lower type1 was made in #aheg1 when a part of a skull was found in a cave near ,dusseldorf1 ,germany4 ,the bones consisted of the upper portion of a cranium1 remarkable for its flat retreating curve1 the upper arm and thigh bones1 a collar bone1 and rib fragments4 ,from these fragments1 an ape-man has been created 7by the artist71 about #e ft4 #c in4 high1 strong1 fierce in look1 and having other characteristics created by the artist4 ,dr4 ,osborn assigns to the ,neanderthal skull a capacity of #adjh c4c41 which would indicate that he lived #c1fhj1jjj years ago1 if life began #fj1jjj1jjj years ago2 or #cj1fff1fff years ago1 if life began #ejj1jjj1jjj years ago4 ,from the first1 many naturalists claimed that these bones belonged to an abnormal specimen of humanity4 ,they can be easily duplicated4 ,naturalists have maintained many divergent opinions3 an idiot1 an early ,german1 a ,cossack1 a ,european of various other nationalities1 a ,mongolian1 a primitive ape-man1 an ancestor of modern man1 and an impossible ancestor of man4 ,not very reliable evidence to support the stupendous scheme of evolution6 ,now these four finds are the weak props supporting the desperate claim of the brute origin of man4 ,dr4 ,chapin says 7,social ,evolution1 p4 #fh73 ,other skulls and bone parts of prehistoric man have been found1 and preserved in museums1 but the specimens described 7the four above mentioned7 are sufficient to illustrate the type of evidence they constitute4 ,the later finds measuring close to normal capacity1 doubtless are the bones of the descendants of ,adam4 ,even by the admission of this text-book author1 the evidence from other remains is no more convincing than that from these four types4 ,some evolutionists say that the pithecanthropus1 the ,heidelberg man1 the ,piltdown man1 and the ,neanderthal man1 form an unbroken line of descent from the ape1 each in turn becoming less like the ape1 and more like man4 ,others claim that the pithecanthropus was the end of a special branch of the apes2 the ,heidelberg man the last of another extinct branch2 the ,piltdown man and the ,neanderthal man1 likewise the last of other extinct species4 ,in this case1 all four finds have no evidential value whatever4 ,all these confusing guesses from evidence so scant and uncertain1 stamp evolution a science falsely so called4 ,if these branches1 species1 or races of ape-like creatures ended1 as claimed1 in the age to which these alleged remains belonged1 they could not have been the ancestors of the human race1 and these alleged links were not links at all4 ,some evolutionists say that the ,neanderthal race became extinct #be1jjj years ago4 ,if so1 they were not our ancestors4 ,we are curious to know what caused the extinction of all these races4 ,prof4 ,r4 ,s4 ,lull confesses1 ,however we account for it1 the fact remains that ancient men are rare4 ,most unbiased students would say such men never existed4 ,the entire absence of human remains during the #gej1jjj years and more is a demonstration against the brute origin of man1 and a proof of special creation4 ,it will be remembered that there is no complete skeleton among all the remains1 nor enough parts to make one altogether1 nor to make any large part of a skeleton1--not even an entire skull4 ,what bones are found are not joined together1 and some of them scattered so widely apart1 that no one can be certain they belong to the same individual4 ,some of the bones belong to an ape1 and some to man1--doubtless modern man4 ,ardent evolutionists1 with a zeal worthy of a better cause1 have taken a fractional bone of a man1 and a bone of an ape1 and fashioned a composite being1 and called it an ape-man1 and their ancestor4 ,every one of these finds is disputed by scientists1 and even by evolutionists4 ,and all these doubtful relics would not fill a small market basket4 ,yet some are ready to say that evolution is no longer a guess or a theory1 but a proven fact4 ,text books like ,chapin's ,social ,evolution are placed in the hands of pupils giving only the arguments in favor1 and the student1 even if disposed to question this flimsy and unsupported theory1 is helpless in the hands of an adroit professor4 ,dr4 ,gruenberg's high school text book teaches that man is descended from the pithecanthropus1 the ,heidelberg1 the ,piltdown and the ,neanderthal man1 without the slightest intimation that such descent is at all disputed or questioned4 ,what right has anyone to teach this false and unproved theory as the truth8 #cj4 ,,confessed ,,collapse ,,of ,,proof ,the claim that the pithecanthropus1 the ,heidelberg man1 the ,piltdown man1 and the ,neanderthal man1 were the ancestors of man1 collapses under the admissions of evolutionists themselves4 ,the eminent ,wassman says3 ,there are numerous fossils of apes1 the remains of which are buried in the various strata from the lower ,eocene to the close of the alluvial epoch1 but not one connecting link has been found between their hypothetical ancestral forms and man at the present time4 ,the whole hypothetical pedigree of man is not supported by a single fossil genus or a single fossil species 7all italics ours74 ,darwin says3 ,when we descend to details1 we can prove that not one species has changed4 ,how1 then1 can man be descended from the brute8 ,even ,h4 ,g4 ,wells1 who seems ready to endorse the most extravagant views1 says 7,outline of ,history1 p4 #fi71 ,we can not say that it 7the pithecanthropus7 is a direct human ancestor4 ,on p4 #aaf1 is a ,diagram of the ,relationship of ,human ,races1 showing that neither the pithecanthropus1 the ,heidelberg man1 the ,piltdown man1 nor the ,neanderthal man1 could have been an ancestor of the human race1 because each were the last of their species1 and therefore had no descendants4 ,dr4 ,keith1 a ,london evolutionist1 says that the ,piltdown man is not an ancestor of man1 much less an intermediate between the ,heidelberg man and the ,neanderthal man4 ,sir ,ray ,lancaster confesses he is baffled and stumped as to the ,piltdown man4 ,dr4 ,keith says the ,neanderthal man was not quite of our species4 ,dr4 ,osborn says that the ,heidelberg man shows no trace of being intermediate between man and the anthropoid ape4 ,again1 speaking of the teeth of the ,st4 ,brelade man1 ,dr4 ,osborn says1 ,this special feature alone would exclude the ,neanderthals from the ancestry of the higher races4 ,prof4 ,r4 ,s4 ,lull says1 ,certain authorities have tried to prove that the pithecanthropus is nothing but a large gibbon1 but the weight of authority considers it prehuman1 though not in the line of direct development in humanity4 ,prof4 ,cope1 a distinguished anatomist1 says1 ,the femur of the pithecanthropus is that of a man1 it is in no sense a connecting link4 ,in his ,men of the ,old ,stone ,age1 ,dr4 ,osborn puts the pithecanthropus1 the ,heidelberg man1 the ,piltdown man1 and the ,neanderthal man1 on limbs which terminate abruptly as extinct races4 ,they can1 in no sense1 then1 be the ancestors of man1 or connecting links4 ,why1 then1 do they cling so desperately to these alleged proofs1 when they admit they have no evidential value8 ,only sheer desperation1 just as a drowning man will clutch a straw4 ,dr4 ,w4 ,e4 ,orchard says3 ,the remains bearing on this issue1 which have been found are very few1 and their significance is hotly disputed by scientists themselves1--both their age1 and whether they are human or animal1 or mere abnormalities4 ,since these four creatures 7of the evolutionists7 can not be the ancestors of the human race1 where are their descendants8 ,evolutionists are obliged to say they were the last of their kind4 ,strange6 ,but there is no other way of escape4 ,prof4 ,bronco1 of the ,geological and ,palaeontological ,institute of ,berlin ,university1 says1 ,man appeared suddenly in the ,quaternary period4 ,palaeontology tells us nothing on the subject1--it knows nothing of the ancestors of man4 ,as fossils must be imbedded in rock1 there is not a single fossil of an ape-man in the world4 #ca4 ,,pictures ,,in ,,caverns ,to bolster up the hypothesis1 that some of the scraps of bones belonged to ape-men2 who lived about #ej1jjj years ago1 we are told that1 in many caverns there are paintings of animals1 some of which are extinct1 proving that the artists were ape-men of advancing intellect1 living in that day4 ,these drawings are rude1 and inexact1 and the resemblance to extinct animals rather fanciful4 ,if the writer were to try to draw a picture of a horse on the stone walls of a dark cavern1 with no light1 it would be just as likely to resemble an extinct animal1 or possibly an animal that never did live and never will4 ,many of the paintings are found in the depths of unlit caverns1 often difficult of access4 ,how could they paint any picture in the dark1 when even fire was unknown1 and the torch and lamp-wick had not yet been invented8 ,and how could they make a ladder1 or erect scaffolding of any sort in that rude age1 before there were inventions of any kind8 ,yet they tell us that the frescoes on the ceiling of the dark cavern of ,altamira1 ,spain1 were made #be1jjj to #ej1jjj years ago1 when fire was unknown1 and they ask us to believe that several colors are used1 brown1 red1 black1 yellow1 and white2 and that these drawings and colors have remained undisturbed and unchanged through these long ages4 ,is it easier to believe this1 than to believe that these drawings were made by modern man1 using modern inventions8 ,a theory left to such support1 must be poverty-stricken in argument indeed4 #cb4 ,,vestigial ,,organs ,the claim is made that the so-called rudimentary organs in the human body such as the appendix1 are the remnants of more complete organs inherited from our animal ancestors4 ,it is a strange argument that a once complete and useful organ in our alleged animal ancestors1 when it becomes atrophied in man1 causes such an improvement and advance1 as to cause man to survive1 when his ancestors with more perfect organs became extinct4 ,man with less perfect organs became the dominant species4 ,if the perfect organ were better than the rudimentary organ1 how can man be the survival of the fittest8 ,if rudimentary organs are a proof of descent from animals with more extensive1 if not more perfect1 organs1 then both man and monkeys must be descended from the rat1 which has the longest proportionate appendix of all4 ,if unused muscles speak of our ancestry1 the horse has the strongest claim to be our ancestor4 ,but many organs1 such as the thyroid gland1 the thymus gland1 and the pineal gland1 formerly classified as rudimentary organs1 are found to be very useful and necessary4 ,physicians have found the appendix very useful in preventing constipation1 which its removal usually increases4 ,if we only knew enough1 we would1 no doubt1 discover a beneficial use for all the so-called vestigial organs4 ,our ignorance is no argument against the wisdom of their creation4 ,the claim that human hair is vestigial is spoiled by the fact that there is none on the back where most abundant on simians4 #cc4 ,,serology1 ,,or ,,blood ,,tests ,they tell us that the blood of a dog injected into the veins of a horse1 will kill the horse1 whereas the blood of a man injected into the veins of an ape results in very feeble reaction1 which proves that the dog and the horse1 they say1 are not related by blood1 while the man and the ape are so related4 ,but a distinguished authority says1 ,the blood of the dog is poisonous to other animals1 whilst1 on the other hand1 the blood and the blood serum of the sheep1 goat and horse1 have generally little effect on other animals and on man4 ,it is for this reason that these animals and particularly the horse1 are used in preparation of the serums employed in medicines4 ,it is also stated as a fact that mare's milk more nearly resembles human milk than that of any other animal save the ass1 a nearly related species--to the mare1 let us hope1 not to us4 ,because of this resemblance1 it is reported by ,dr4 ,hutchinson that1 ,one of the large dairy companies in ,england now keeps a stock of milch asses for the purpose of supplying asses' milk for delicate human babes4 ,these well-known facts would prove the horse and the ass a nearer relative than the ape1 since serums are not made from the blood of the ape4 ,we prefer the innocent sheep to the ape as our near relative1 and will allow the evolutionists to claim the goat4 ,dr4 ,w4 ,w4 ,keen1 ,prof4 ,emeritus of ,jefferson ,college1 ,phila41 in his book1 ,i believe in ,god and in ,evolution1 on p4 #dh says1 ,here again you perceive such identity of function1 that the thyroid gland of animals1 when given as a remedy to man1 performs precisely the same function as the human thyroid4 ,moreover1 it is not the thyroid gland from the anthropoid apes that is used as a remedy but that from the more lowly sheep4 ,again the force of ,dr4 ,keen's argument goes to prove1 so far as it has any weight1 that we have a nearer kinship to the sheep than the ape4 ,children are nourished by the milk of the cow1 the ass and the goat1 not of the ape4 ,vaccine matter is taken from the cow and serums from the horse1 not from any species of monkey1 to which we do not seem to be related at all4 ,the conclusions of the blood tests are unreliable and uncertain4 ,w4 ,b4 ,scott1 an expert evolutionist1 says1 ,it must not be supposed that there is any exact mathematical ratio between the degrees of relationship indicated by the blood tests1 and those which are shown by anatomical and palaeontological evidence4444 ,it could hardly be maintained that an ostrich and a parrot are more nearly allied than a wolf and a hyena1 and yet that would be the inference from the blood tests4 ,prof4 ,rossle1 in #aije1 according to ,mc,cann1 presented evidence to show that the blood reaction does not in any manner indicate how closely any two animals are related2 and that evidence based on resemblance of blood is not trustworthy in support of a common relationship4 ,in many cases1 transfusions of the human blood into apes have positive reactions4 ,we do not make pets of the ape1 baboon or chimpanzee1 but of the dog whose traits are far more nearly human4 ,if any brute ancestor is possible1 have not the evolutionists guessed the wrong animal8 #cd4 ,,embryology ,embryology1 or the ,recapitulation ,theory1 is the last1 and perhaps the least important of the claims advanced in favor of evolution4 ,it is claimed that the whole history of evolution is briefly repeated in the early stages of embryonic life4 ,w4 ,b4 ,scott1 in the ,theory of ,evolution1 says1 ,thirty years ago1 the recapitulation theory was well nigh universally accepted4 ,nowadays it is very seriously questioned1 and by some high authorities is altogether denied4 ,it is hard to see why the history of the species should be repeated by the embryo4 ,it is difficult to crowd the history of ages into a few days or weeks4 ,it must be enormously abbreviated4 ,it is a physical impossibility4 ,changes caused by many environments must take place in the same environment1 contradicting the theory of evolution4 ,so many exceptions must be made that there can be no universal law4 ,such general similarity as we find in embryonic life1 may be accounted for1 on the ground that the ,creator used one general plan with unlimited variation1 never repeating himself so as to make two faces or two leaves or two grains of sand exactly alike4 ,embryology is an ancient manuscript with many of the sheets lost1 others displaced1 and with spurious passages interpolated by a later hand4 ,it is hard to construct a syllogism1 showing the force of the argument from ,embryology4 ,try it4 ,various other evolution arguments are answered in ,,part ,,one1 and completely refuted by ,,up-,,to-,,date ,,scientific ,,facts4 ,no one has yet noted an error1 nor answered an argument4 ,if all students1 teachers1 ministers1 etc41 had this book 7pp4 #aaf-g71 evolutionists could no longer conceal the unanswerable arguments1 nor answer them by ridicule or abuse4 ,,part ,,three ,,the ,,soul #ce4 ,,the ,,origin ,,of ,,the ,,soul ,evolution fails to account for the origin of the body of man4 ,still more emphatically1 does it fail to account for the origin of the soul1 or spiritual part of man4 ,this is part of the stupendous task of evolution4 ,its advocates give it little or no attention4 ,we are not surprised4 ,if they could show the evolution of the human body probable or even possible1 they can never account for the origin of the soul1 save by creation of ,almighty ,god4 ,we can not release evolutionists upon the plea that they cannot account for the faculties and spiritual endowments of man4 ,this is a confession of complete failure4 ,though invisible to the eye or the microscope1 they are positive realities4 ,they can not be dismissed with a wave of the hand or a gesture of contempt4 ,we have a right to demand an explanation for every phenomenon connected with the body or soul of man4 ,the task may be heavy1 and even impossible1 yet every hypothesis must bear every test or confess failure4 ,they have undertaken to propose a scheme that will account for the origin of man1 as he is1 soul and body1 and if they fail1 the hypothesis fails4 ,how do we account for the existence of each individual soul8 ,it can not be the product of the arrangement of the material of the brain1 as the materialists do vainly teach4 ,it can not be the product of evolution1 nor a growth from the father or mother4 ,the soul is not transmitted to be modified or changed4 ,it is indivisible4 ,the soul of the child is not a part of the soul of either parent4 ,the parents suffer no mental loss from the new soul4 ,it must be created before it can grow4 ,god creates each soul without doubt1 and so ,god created the souls of ,adam and ,eve4 ,if creation is possible now1 it was possible at the beginning of the race4 ,if ,god creates the soul now1 analogy teaches strongly the creation of the souls of ,adam and ,eve4 ,if evolution be true1 there was no creation in the past1 and is none now4 ,this is contradicted by the facts every day and every hour4 #cf4 ,,personality ,an evolutionist writes3 ,we do not undertake to account for personality4 ,we reply1 ,that is a part of your problem4 ,you have undertaken to solve the riddle of the universe by excluding all evidence of an existing and active ,god1 and we can not release you because a feature of the problem may be unusually difficult or embarrassing1 or even fatal to your theory4 ,it is a fight to the death in the interest of truth2 and we purpose to use every weapon of science against a theory so unscientific1 so improbable1 so far reaching1 and so baneful in its effects4 ,it takes faith1 hope and comfort from the heart of the ,christian1 destroys belief in ,god1 and sends multitudes to the lost world4 ,personality is consciousness of individuality4 ,when did personality begin8 ,when did any members of the species become conscious of personality8 ,when did they begin to realize and to say in thought1 ,i am a living being4 ,what animals are conscious of personality8 ,any of our cousins of the monkey tribe8 ,is the horse conscious of personality1 or the ox1 the cat or the dog8 ,if so1 does the skunk have personality1 the mouse1 the flea1 the worm1 the tadpole1 the microscopic animal8 ,if so1 do our other cousins have personality1--the trees1 the vines1 the flowers1 the thorn and the brier1 the cactus and the thistle1 and the microscopic disease germs8 ,if so1 when did personality begin8 ,with the first primordial germ8 ,if so1 were there two personalities when the germ split in two1 and became two1 animal and plant8 ,you can not split a man up into two parts with a personality to each part4 ,personality is indivisible4 ,it is a consciousness of that indivisibility4 ,if personality began anywhere along the line1 where1 when1 and how did it originate8 ,was it spontaneous1 or by chance1 or was it ,god-given8 ,beyond all question1 it was the gift of an all-wise and all-powerful ,creator1 and in no sense the product of evolution4 ,god made man a living soul4 ,but if no plant or animal ever had personality1 when did man first become conscious of his individuality8 ,there is no evidence1 of course1 but the evolutionist must produce it1 or admit failure4 ,the evolutionist is short on evidence but long on guesses that miss the mark4 ,if all animals and plants came from one germ1 why do animals have the senses1 sight1 taste1 touch1 smell and hearing1 while plants are utterly devoid of them8 ,they had a nearly equal chance in the race4 ,why the great difference8 #cg4 ,,intellect1 ,,emotions ,,and ,,will ,the activity and energy of the soul are shown in the intellect1 the emotions and the will4 ,what evidence of these do we find in the animal world8 ,do we find intellect in the lobster1 emotions in a worm1 or will in an oyster8 ,whence came these elements of spiritual strength8 ,if developed by evolution1 where1 when1 and how8 ,have the most advanced species of animals an intellect8 ,do they have the emotions of love1 hate1 envy1 pity1 remorse or sympathy8 ,has a worm envy1 a flea hate1 a cat pity a hog remorse1 or a horse sympathy8 ,if these existed in so-called pre-historic man1 when1 where1 and how did they begin8 ,no one can answer1 because there is not a trace of proof that they ever existed4 ,will natural selection explain the development of the mental faculties8 ,was art developed because those who lacked it perished8 ,do we account for the musical faculty1 because those who could not sing perished8 ,some still live who ought to be dead6 ,do we account for humor because they perished who could not crack a joke8 ,will all eventually perish but the ,irish1 who will survive by their wit8 ,is anything mentioned in science quite so ridiculous as natural selection8 ,not an animal has a trace of wit1 or humor1 or pathos4 ,not an animal has ever laughed1 or spoken1 or sung4 ,the silence of the ages disproves evolution4 #ch4 ,,abstract ,,reason ,when did reason begin8 ,do we find it in any species of plant or animal life1 save man8 ,the highest order of animals can not reason enough to start a fire or replenish one4 ,a dog1 or a cat1 or even a monkey1 will enjoy the warmth from a fire but will not replenish it1 although they may have seen it done many times4 ,animals may be taught many interesting tricks2 many can imitate well4 ,but they do not have the power of reflection or abstract reason4 ,they live for the present4 ,they have no plans for tomorrow1---no purpose in life4 ,they can not come to new conclusions4 ,they can not add or subtract1 multiply or divide4 ,they can not even count4 ,some animals can solve very intricate problems by instinct1 but instinct is the intelligence of ,god1 and never could have come by evolution4 ,if reason came not from ,god1 but from evolution1 should we not expect it well developed in evolutionary man1 since for the last #c1jjj1jjj years he must have been #ie to #ajj per cent1 normal4 ,if we grant the estimate of #ejj1jjj1jjj years1 he would have been #ii4d normal for the last #c1jjj1jjj years4 ,would we not expect in that time a world of inventions and discoveries1 even surpassing those of the last #ajj years8 ,the ,chinese claim a multitude of inventions and a race so nearly normal as ape-men1 ought to have invented language1 writing1 printing1 the telegraph1 phonograph1 the wireless1 the radio1 television1 and even greater wonders than in our age4 ,there is no trace of intelligence in man in all the #c1jjj1jjj years1 prior to ,adam4 ,we should have many works excelling ,homer's ,iliad1 ,vergil's ,aeneid1 and ,milton's ,paradise ,lost4 ,we have no trace of a road1 or a bridge1 or a monument1 like the pyramids4 ,that no race of intelligent creatures ever lived prior to ,adam is proven by lack of affirmative evidence4 ,if it be true1 as ,romanes declared1 that the power of abstract reason in all the species was only equal to that of a child #ae months old1 then each species would possess less than one millionth of that4 #ci4 ,,conscience ,if the origin of the mental faculties can not be accounted for by evolution1 much less can the moral faculty1 the religious nature and spirituality be accounted for4 ,the most confirmed evolutionist will not claim that the tree or the vine or the rose1 or perhaps any animal1 has a conscience4 ,if1 however1 conscience is a growth or development1 why should it not exist in some measure in both the animal and the vegetable kingdoms8 ,has any brute any idea of right or wrong8 ,has a hog any idea of right or wrong1 of justice or injustice8 ,what animal has ever shown regret for a wrong1 or approval of right in others8 ,if conscience is a development within the reach of every species1 many of the million or more1 no doubt1 would have shown some conscience long ago4 ,but if man developed conscience1 why have not our near relatives of the monkey family developed a conscience8 ,they had the same chance as man4 ,why should man have a conscience1 and monkeys none8 ,why is there no trace of conscience in the animal or vegetable kingdom8 ,because it is the gift of ,god4 ,what sign of regret1 repentance1 or remorse1 do we find in the cat or the dog1 the rat or the hog8 ,if a bull gores a sheep to death1 does he express regret8 ,is a horse sorry if he crushes to death a child or a chicken under his hoof8 ,can any animal be sorry for stealing food from another8 ,will it take any steps to undo the wrong8 ,man1 according to evolution1 is a creature of environment4 ,he is a victim of brute impulse4 ,he has no conscience1 no free will1 he can commit no crime4 ,killing is not murder4 ,it is not sin4 ,man can not be responsible4 ,without conscience1 a victim of circumstances1 rushed on into crime1 sin1 and injustice1 responsible to no ,god6 ,the heart sickens at the brightest picture evolution can paint4 ,the difficulty of showing the evolution of the body is insuperable1 but the evolution of the soul1 with all its mental1 moral and spiritual equipment1 is an absolute impossibility4 ,small wonder that evolutionists are unwilling to discuss the origin of the soul4 #dj4 ,,spirituality ,does any plant or animal worship ,god8 ,how much theology does a cow know8 ,what does the horse think about ,god8 ,what animal lives with an anxious desire to please ,god8 ,how many are desirous of obeying ,god8 ,how many species trust ,him8 ,how many love ,him8 ,how many pray to ,him8 ,how many praise ,him for his goodness8 ,evidently no animal knows anything about ,god1 or ever thinks of worshiping ,him4 ,man alone worships ,god4 ,when did he begin8 ,the idea of ,god seems to be in the hearts of all except the dupes of evolution1 and the ,bolshevists of ,russia4 ,the great problem to explain is how the worship of ,god began1 and why man alone now worships ,him4 ,personality1 reason1 intellect1 emotions1 will1 conscience1 spirituality1 and all the faculties and equipment of the soul1 are naturally and easily explained upon the basis of creation1 but evolution can not account for them at all4 ,about #b1jjj1jjj years ago1 we are told1 man and the monkey family were children of the same parents4 ,these children headed species with an even start4 ,yet man alone developed personality1 consciousness1 intelligence1 and all the equipment of the soul2 all the others remained stationary4 ,this is incredible4 ,it is inconsistent with mathematical probability4 ,is it likely that one species and one alone out of a million1 with similar environments1 would reach these high mental and spiritual attainments8 ,no6 ,god created man in his own image1 in the image of ,god created he him1-,gen4 #a3bg4 ,this declaration explains all the difficulties which are insuperable to the evolutionist4 ,in the day that ,god created man1 in the likeness of ,god made he him4 ,this likeness was not a physical likeness as a learned 787 university professor asserted1 but a likeness in knowledge1 righteousness and holiness4 ,no animal is made in the image of ,god4 ,there is not the trace of a soul in all animal creation4 ,how could the soul of man develop from nothing8 ,god is still creating new creatures in ,christ ,jesus1 in righteousness and true holiness1 which can not come by evolution1 for sinful creatures can only grow in sinfulness1 until the creative power of ,god makes them new creatures1 as the following study in ,eugenics will show3 ,elizabeth ,tuttle1 the grandmother of ,jonathan ,edwards1 the eminent scholar and divine1 was1 according to ,h4 ,e4 ,walter1 a woman of great beauty1 of tall and commanding appearance1 striking carriage1 of strong1 extreme intellectual vigor1 and mental grasp akin to rapacity1 but with an extraordinary deficiency in moral sense4 ,she was divorced from her husband on the ground of adultery and other ,,immoralities4 ,the evil trait was in the blood1 for one of her sisters murdered her own son1 and a brother murdered his own sister1 ,as ,richard ,edwards1 his grandfather1 had #e sons and #a daughter1 by a second wife1 but none of their numerous progeny rose above mediocrity1 and their descendants gained no abiding reputation1 ,jonathan ,edwards must have owed his remarkable mental qualities largely to his grandmother rather than his grandfather4 ,he was evidently a new creation in ,christ ,jesus and was cured by grace of all inherited immoralities1 so that he became the ancestor of one of the most remarkable families in the history of the world1 as follows3-- ,jonathan ,edwards was born in #agjc4 ,he was strong in character1 mentally vigorous and fearlessly loyal to duty4 ,in #aijj1 of the descendants of ,jonathan ,edwards1 #acid had been located and the following information in regard to them had been gathered3 ,college presidents1 #ac2 college professors1 #fe2 doctors1 #fj2 clergymen1 missionaries1 etc41 #ajj2 officers in the army and navy1 #ge2 eminent authors and writers1 #fj2 lawyers1 over

graduates1 #bie2 several were governors and holders of important state offices4 ,the claim is also made that almost if not every department of social progress and of public weal has felt the impulse of this healthy and long-lived family4 ,the ',jukes' family was founded by a shiftless fisherman born in ,new ,york in #agbj1 ,since that time the family has numbered #abjj persons4 ,the following facts are quoted from the records3 ,convicted criminals1 #acj2 habitual thieves1 #fj2 murderers1 #g2 wrecked by diseases of wickedness1 #ddj2 immoral women1 fully one-half2 professional paupers1 #caj2 trades learned by twenty1 ten of these learned the trade in prison4 ,how much of this expense to the state was due to bad blood we can not say4 ,if the original ,jukeses had become ,christians we have no doubt that the majority of their descendants would have been humble1 but orderly1 and possibly useful citizens4 ,aaron ,burr1 a grandson of ,jonathan ,edwards1 lacked but one electoral vote to become president of the ,u4,s4 ,his intellectual standing in ,princeton was not equaled by another for #ajj years4 ,jonathan ,edwards was a new creation1 as is every other regenerated person4 ,according to evolution1 there can be no new creation4 ,according to the word of ,god1 and the experience of an innumerable host1 ,god is continually creating souls anew1 who become new creatures4 ,evolution is not in harmony with the ,bible nor the experience of the children of ,god4 ,whenever it can be shown that men become more spiritual when they accept the theory1 and become more devoted to saving souls as their zeal for the theory increases1 the theory will be worthy of more serious consideration4 ,we await the evidence4 ,evolution can not account for the spirituality of man1 but tends to destroy it where it exists4 #da4 ,,the ,,hope ,,of ,,immortality ,the belief in the immortality of the soul has been well nigh universal1 in all ages1 and among all nations1 and is taught by all religions4 ,without it1 life and death are insolvable mysteries4 ,a doctrine so universal1 so well established by reason1 ought not to be set aside without the most convincing reasons and the most compelling evidence4 ,either this universal belief is due to revelation1 or the abundance of proof appealing to reason1 or both4 ,a child is born1 suffers agonies for weeks and months1 and dies4 ,if no future1 who can solve the mystery8 ,john ,milton writes his immortal ,paradise ,lost1 and dies4 ,must his great soul perish8 ,nero murdered his brother1 his sister1 his wife and his mother1 and multitudes of ,christians and lastly himself1 and was guilty of a multitude of other shocking crimes2 while many of the best men and women this world ever knew suffered persecution and martyrdom for doing good and blessing others4 ,will they all alike meet the same fate--annihilation--at the hands of a just ,god8 ,the immortality of the soul is supported by science4 ,science teaches the indestructibility of matter4 ,not all the power that man can bring to bear1 can destroy the minutest portion of matter1 not a molecule1 not an atom1 not an electron4 ,the smallest particle of dust visible to the eye contains1 we are told1 about #h1jjj1jjj1jjj atoms1 and each atom1 as complex as a piano1--#agdj parts4 ,not one of these atoms or parts could be annihilated by all the power of a thousand ,niagaras4 ,in all the multiplied chemical changes everywhere in the world1 not a single particle1 the most worthless1 is lost or destroyed4 ,dissolve a silver dollar in aquafortis1 and then precipitate it to the bottom1 and not a particle need be lost4 ,if ,god takes such scrupulous care of the most worthless particle of matter1 will he suffer the immortal soul to perish8 ,if he preserves the dust1 how much more so the highest of all his creations1 the mind that can write an epic1 compose an oratorio1 or liberate a race4 ,evolution crushes out of the heart the hope of immortality1 and makes man but an improved brute1 while ,jesus ,christ hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel4 ,if evolution be true1 when did man become immortal8 ,at what period did he cease to be a brute1 and become an immortal soul8 ,was it before the days of the pithecanthropus1 the ,piltdown fraud1 the ,heidelberg man1 or the ,neanderthal man8 ,the change was ever so slow and gradual2 could the parents1 anywhere along the line1 be mere brutes and the children immortal human beings8 ,would it not be impossible to draw the line8 ,is it not evident that the ape-man could never grow into immortality1 or into the image of an infinitely great and glorious ,god8 ,if evolutionists could give us any convincing evidence that the body of man developed from the brute1 they can not prove that the soul grew from nothing to the high mental1 moral and spiritual attainments1 into the very image of ,god1 and by its own efforts become as immortal as ,god himself4 ,after all1 did any theory as ridiculously untrue as evolution ever masquerade as science1 or ask to be accepted by thoughtful men8 ,has it as much to support it as the false sciences of alchemy and astrology8 ,the brute origin of man1 infidelity1 agnosticism1 modernism1 atheism and bolshevism1 are in harmony1 and cooperate in robbing man of heaven and the hope of immortality4 ,if man believes that he dies as the brute dies1 he will soon live as the brute lives1 and all that is precious to the heart of man will be forever destroyed4 ,we recoil from such a fate1 but live in the serene assurance that such a thing can never be4 #db4 ,,sin ,sin is a great fact4 ,it can not be denied4 ,it can not be explained by evolution4 ,it is universal4 ,every race all nations1 with all grades of

and character4 ,why is it universal8 ,when did it originate8 ,did it originate in all the members of the brute-human race at one time8 ,did some become sinners1 and others remain without sin8 ,sin must be developed1 since brutes have no sin4 ,why not some of the ape-humans without sin8 ,does natural selection explain the universal sinfulness of man1 on the ground that those who did not have this improvement perished8 ,they all died and only sinners were left1 hence all survivors are sinners6 ,sin makes men more fit1 and hence sinners only survive6 ,is evolution simply ridiculous1 or a crime8 ,when in the ascent of man did he become a sinner8 ,a million years ago8 ,judging from the pictures of fierce alleged ape-men1 it must have been a long1 long time ago4 ,did all become sinners

the creation and the fall of man4 ,evolution is charged with explaining all phenomena pertaining to man1--soul and body4 ,it exhausts itself in trying to show that the body of man may possibly be developed from the brute4 ,it fails miserably4 ,the problem of accounting for the soul of man with all its equipment is so much more difficult1 that little or no effort is made to account for it1

who has been made a more earnest and successful soul winner1 or a sweeter saint1 by espousal of the doctrine8 ,if one blank page were set aside for a list of all victims of sin and vice and crime1 who were redeemed by faith in evolution1 the space would be wasted4 ,is there any comfort in it to the dying1 any help to the living8 ,would any evolutionist preacher read to the dying1 the so-called classic passage from ,darwin1 showing that every living thing on the tangled bank came from one germ without any assistance from ,god8 ,is there any choice passage in all their books1 fit to be read to the dying1 or to a man in trouble1 or in need of salvation8 ,is there anything to put hope in the breast1 or inspire a man to a holy life8 ,anything to lift up a man sodden with sin1 and redeem him from the fetters that bind him8 ,to give up the tested power of the gospel and to accept instead1 the worthless guesses of evolution1 ruinous in life and powerless in death1 would be a sorry exchange

,f4 ,osborn1 of ,n4 ,y41 a leading evolutionist1 says1 ,in truth1 from the period of the earlier stages of ,greek thought1 man has been eager to discover some natural cause of evolution1 and to

purpose in view1 we are not surprised to learn from ,prof4 ,j4 ,h4 ,leuba that one-half the professors teaching it did not believe in ,god nor the immortality of the soul2 and that there is a rapid

gospel of ,christ had not saved her from the infidelity and atheism of evolution6 ,she writes as follows of her conversion3 ,the writer went to one of the services being held in my home town1 by the ,irish evangelist1 ,robert ,semple1 and entered the meeting practically an infidel1 having studied ,darwinism1 atheistic theories until faith in ,god's word was shaken4 ,never will those moments be forgotten4 ,one could feel the power of ,god1 the moment one entered the building4 ,such singing1 hands uplifted1 faces radiant1 such ,amens and ,hallelujahs1 such power and fervor back of every word that was spoken1 such exaltation of the deity of ,christ1 the necessity and power of the atoning blood1 the second ,coming of ,christ1 the power of the ,holy ,spirit to energize and get the believer ready for his coming1 gripped and stirred the heart4444 ,never1 never1 can the writer forget that hallowed hour1 when1 kneeling by a ,morris chair in the home of a friend1 early in the morning1 with uplifted arms1 she prayed and felt for the first time1 the tremendous inflowing power of the ,holy ,ghost4 ,behold1 the power of evolution to ruin1 and of ,christ to save6 ,evolutionists are1 as a rule1 modernists2 and modernists are evolutionists1 and are reckless in their zeal to destroy the faith of the young committed to their care4 ,we select the following #c illustrations from a single article in the ,,presbyterian3 #a4 ,a father sat in this office1 a minister above middle life1 his eyes full of tears1 and his soul full of groans1 as he told how he had sent his son1 who had been an orderly ,christian boy1 to a supposedly ,christian college4 ,when the boy returned home1 after graduation1 he informed his father that through instruction received1 he had lost his faith1 and believed none of those things he had been taught at home4 ,the father was so shocked and overcome he could make no reply1 but asked his son to kneel and pray with him as they used to do4 ,the son refused1 and said he no longer believed in prayer4 #b4 ,a good ,christian father desired to give his young daughter the best educational advantages4 ,she planned to be a missionary4 ,he sent her to a well-known college1 considered ,christian4 ,this college had a ,bible chair1 but of the destructive1 critical type4 ,the young student absorbed what she was taught4 ,she lost all reverence for the ,bible and rejected it4 ,she entirely lost her faith which she had learned from her father and mother4 ,she gave up her mission plans1 and developed into a ,socialist4 ,when about to graduate1 she wrote her father frankly1 that she had given up the faith he had taught her1 and she was going to live with a man without marriage1 as she did not believe in marriage2 ,the father visited her and protested4 ,she smiled and called him an old fogy4 ,she only consented to marriage when threatened with the civil law4 #c4 ,another case reported to us by another father3--,his son1 attending a so-called ,christian college1 reported that one of the professors declared that they and himself were hypocrites1 because they attended chapel every morning where they were told that if they believed and did such things1 they would some day go to another world and play on a harp4 ,but if they did not1 they would burn4 ,this he declared was all bosh4 ,then he called attention to the teachings in the college1 that man in his body developed from a lower animal1 but that man had no soul4 ,yet some colleges and universities ask ,christian people to give large sums1 with no guarantee that evolution1 infidelity and atheism will not be taught4 ,is it any wonder that ,christian parents tremble while their sons and daughters run the gauntlet of infidel professors8 #de4 ,,ev4 ,,wars ,,with ,,christianity ,evolution leads to infidelity and atheism1 and is therefore a foe to ,christianity4 ,it denies the doctrine of special creation1 and opposes the religion of the ,christian1 the ,jew and the ,mohammedan4 ,why should not all these religions unite against the false and unsupported theory that would make havoc of them all8 ,if evolution could be shown reconcilable with ,christianity it would be lifted into respectability1 but what would be the gain to ,christianity8 ,the ,christian religion is reconcilable with all true science1 and hails every true science with joy4 ,the church loves true science1 but hates a lie that poses as the truth4 ,christianity is readily reconcilable with the true sciences of ,astronomy and ,chemistry1 but we do not try to reconcile it with the corresponding false sciences of astrology and alchemy4 ,why should we be concerned about such a reconciliation1 since all the evidence offered in favor of evolution is not worthy of serious consideration8 ,the facts hotly contest every guess4 ,there is no conflict between ,christianity and science4 ,but evolution is not science4 ,it is not knowledge4 ,it is not truth4 ,it is not proved4 ,it is not certain4 ,it is not probable4 ,it is not possible4 ,how can the serious student escape the conviction that evolution has not one chance out of a thousand1 or even out of a million1 to be a possible theory1 and none whatever to be a probable or proven theory8 ,it offers not one convincing argument4 ,the evidence against the theory shows that it has not yet been proven and never can be4 ,the present population of the globe shows the unity of man in the days of ,noah1 and that the human race could not have begun #b1jjj1jjj years ago1 nor #a1jjj1jjj1 nor #ajj1jjj1 nor even #aj1jjj4 ,and no evidence that the evolutionist can bring to bear now or hereafter can ever set aside this mathematical demonstration4 ,this one argument is sufficient to shatter evolution1 if there were no more4 ,but the whole fifty arguments in this book rush to the support of this one4 ,they all harmonize with the ,bible statements1 but not one of them with the false and baneful theory of evolution4 ,and no erroneous guess that they can make will escape mathematical detection4 ,why should we gratify the clamor of evolutionists1 and seek to reconcile ,christianity with a theory so manifestly false8 ,to be worthy of acceptance1 it must satisfactorily answer every one of the fifty arguments in this book and many more4 ,can it do so8 ,evolution carried to a logical conclusion would destroy every thing precious to the heart of a ,christian4 ,it denies the real inspiration of the ,bible4 ,it makes ,moses a liar4 ,it denies the story of creation1 and substitutes an impossible guess4 ,it denies miracles1 the providence of ,god1 the creation of man and beast1 and ,god's government and control of the world4 ,it laughs at the ,virgin ,birth and makes ,christ a descendant of the brute on both sides4 ,it denies his deity1 his miracles1 his resurrection from the dead4 ,it joins hands with agnosticism1 modernism1 and other forms of infidelity and atheism and gives them the strongest support they have ever had4 ,all these hail evolution's advent with exceeding great joy4 ,it has the closest affinity with the wildest and worst theories ever proposed4 ,its writers and proponents turn infidel and atheist4 ,its teachers and advocates lose their belief in ,god and the immortality of the soul4 ,the young men and women who are taught1 abandon the faith of their fathers and join the forces of unbelief4 ,to be sure1 some are saved by inconsistency1 and still maintain their faith1 but the havoc is great4 ,it would strip ,christ of his ,deity1 reduce him to the dimensions of a man1 and make his religion powerless to save4 ,the men who tore the seamless coat from the dying ,christ did a praiseworthy act1 in comparison to those who would strip him of his deity and glory1 for these are the garments of ,god6 ,the ruffians at the foot of the cross gambled for a mere human garment1 but there are evolutionists who would trample under foot the blood of the ,son of ,god1 and count it an unholy thing4 ,those who would rob the world's redeemer of his power and divinity1 while speaking patronizingly in praise of his human traits1 do but insult him with the vilest slander1 which makes the derision of ,calvary seem like praise4 ,we were not surprised to learn that1 in the ,tenn4 trial1 evolution was defended by agnostics1 who made their chief attack on the ,bible and revealed religion2 and the school1 the home and religion were defended by men of high ,christian character4 ,had ,mr4 ,darrow as earnestly defended ,christianity and ,mr4 ,bryan as earnestly opposed it1 millions would have held up their hands in astonishment4 ,but the alignment was natural1 and opened the eyes of multitudes to the fact that evolution is a friend to infidelity and a foe to ,christianity4 ,their objection to prayer during the sessions of the ,court shows that they hated what ,god loves4 ,christianity withstood ten fiery persecutions1 lasting #cjj years1 at the hands of the ,roman ,empire1 the mistress of the world4 ,the church was purified1 and grew and multiplied4 ,numerous heresies arose but all yielded to the truth4 ,sin and corruption1 formality and worldliness1 failed to hinder the triumphant march of the church of ,god4 ,infidelity made a fierce attack in the eighteenth century in its own name1 and lost4 ,but the most dangerous attack ever made is on1 by evolution claiming the name of science and modernism claiming the name of religion4 ,this f4 a4 d4 is truly for a day4 ,god will win4 ,truth will live and error will die4 ,but too many precious souls will be lost unless the world awakes to see its danger soon4 ,mr4 ,bryan1 in his last message1 said3 ,christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionship of yesterday and the reunion of tomorrow4 ,evolution strikes out the stars1 and deepens the gloom that enshrouds the tomb44444 ,do these evolutionists stop to think of the crime they commit when they take faith out of the hearts of men and women and lead them out into a starless night8 ,evolution wars with the religion of the ,jews also4 ,it attacks the ,old ,testament1 dear alike to ,christian and ,jew4 ,the ,jews were the chosen people of ,god1 and have played a large part in the history of the world4 ,we gladly clasp hands with them against the common foe4 ,david speaks for ,jews and ,christians in the #hth ,psalm4 ,in contrast to evolution1 which degrades man to the level of the brute1 he declares that man is but a little lower than ,god1 7,heb4 ,elohim74 ,the revisers had the courage so to translate it4 ,david under inspiration wrote better than he knew1 and in absolute harmony with modern science3 ,when ,i consider thy heavens1 the work of thy fingers1 the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained1 what is man 7how great must he be7 that thou are mindful of him 7among thy great and marvelous works78 ,and the son of man that thou are a companion to him8 ,for thou hast made him but little lower than ,god1 and crownest him with glory and honor4 ,thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands2 thou hast put all things under his feet2 all sheep and oxen1 yea1 and the beasts of the field2 the fowl of the air1 and the fish of the sea1 whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas4 ,all animals confess the dominion of man since the strongest and fiercest flee from his face4 ,who would prefer the string of stuff that would place man below the brute1 to the lofty description of the ,hebrew ,psalmist placing him a little lower than ,god8 ,hon4 ,william ,j4 ,bryan1 when attending the ,presbyterian ,general ,assembly in ,columbus1 ,ohio1 in #aibe1 enclosed1 in a letter to the writer1 a copy of his address in ,john ,wanamaker's ,church1 ,philadelphia1 on evolution and modernism1 from which we select the following3 ,all the modernists are evolutionists and their hypothesis of creation gives man a brute ancestry and makes him the apex of a gradual development extending over millions of years4 ,this hypothesis contains no place for1 and has no need of1 a plan of salvation4 ,it is only a step from this philosophy to the philosophy of the atheist who considers man 'a bundle of tendencies inherited from the lower animals1' and regards sin as nothing more serious than a disease that should be treated rather than punished4 ,one of the gravest objections to the doctrine of the modernists is that it ignores sin in the sense in which the ,bible describes sin4 ,modernists ignore the cause of sin1 the effects of sin1 and the remedy for sin4 ,they worship the intellect and overlook the heart1 'out of which are the issues of life4' ,no evangelical church has ever endorsed a single doctrine of the modernists4 ,evolution is the basis of modernism4 ,carried to its logical conclusion1 it annihilates revealed religion4 ,it made an avowed agnostic of ,darwin 7see in his ',life and ,letters' a letter written on this subject just before his death72 it has made agnostics of millions and atheists of hundreds of thousands1 yet ,christian taxpayers1 not awake to its benumbing influence1 allow ,darwinism to be injected into the minds of immature students1 many of whom return from college with their spiritual enthusiasm chilled if not destroyed4 ,when we protest against the teaching of this tommy-rot by instructors paid by taxation1 they accuse us of stifling conscience and interfering with free speech4 ,not at all2 let the atheist think what he pleases and say what he thinks to those who are willing to listen to him1 but he cannot rightly demand pay from the taxpayers for teaching their children what they do not want taught4 ,the hand that writes the pay check rules the school4 ,as long as ,christians must build ,christian colleges in which to teach ,christianity1 atheists should be required to build their own colleges if they desire to teach atheism4 ,with from one to three millions of distinct species in the animal and vegetable world1 not a single species has been traced to another4 ,until species in the animal and vegetable world can be linked together1 why should we assume without proof that man is a blood relative of any lower form of life8 ,those who become obsessed with the idea that they have brute blood in their veins devote their time to searching for missing links in the hope of connecting man with life below him2 why do they prefer a jungle ancestry to creation by the ,almighty for a purpose and according to a divine plan8 ,why will they travel around the world to find a part of a skull or remnants of a skeleton when they will not cross the street to save a soul8 ,how can intelligent men and women underestimate the ,christ8 ,he is no longer a wandering ,jew with a few followers2 ,he is the great fact of history and the growing figure of all time--there is no other growing figure in all the world today4 ,men--the greatest of them--rise and reign and pass away2 only ,,christ reigns and remains4 ,they shall not take away our ,lord4 ,the ,christian ,church will not permit the degrading of its founder2 it will defend at all times1 everywhere and in every way1 the historical ,christ4 ,it believes that 'there is none other name under heaven given among men1 whereby we must be saved4' ,no diminutive ,messiah can meet the religious need of the world today and throughout the centuries4 ,christ for all and forever1 is the slogan of the church4 ,there has been apostasy in every age2 attacks upon ,christianity have been disguised under cloaks of many kinds1 but it has withstood them all--',the hammers are shattered but the anvil remains4' ,the church will not yield now2 it will continue its defense of the ,bible1 the ,bible's ,god and the ,bible's ,christ until 'every knee shall bow and every tongue confess4' ,while it resists the attacks upon the integrity of ,god's ,word and the divinity of the ,saviour1 it will pray that those who are now making the attack may come under the influence of1 and yield their hearts to1 ,him whose call is to all1 whose hand is all power and who promises to be with ,his people 'always1 even unto the end of the world1' ,the ,apostles' ,creed which has expressed the faith of the ,christian ,church for so many centuries shall not be emasculated by modernism4 ',faith of our fathers6 living still ,in spite of dungeon1 fire and sword2 ,o how our hearts beat high with joy ,whene'er we hear that glorious word-- ,faith of our fathers6 holy faith1 ,we will be true to thee till death'6 #df4 ,,camouflage ,,of ,,terms ,during the late world war1 objects were concealed and the enemy deceived1 by camouflage4 ,many undertake to deceive or to hide their meaning by a camouflage of terms4 ,these terms are chosen to conceal or deceive4 ,terms that suggest advance1 improvement1 learning1 science1 etc41 are used to describe unworthy theories1 beliefs and movements4 ,it is an unfair trick to win and often meets with undeserved success4 ,,evolution in the sense of growth and development1 is true of a part of animal and plant life1 and in this sense is undisputed4 ,some speak of the growth of a child and of all progress1 as evolution4 ,in the sense at issue1 it means the development of all the #c1jjj1jjj species of animals and plants1 from one or a few primordial germs1 without design or intelligence1 or the aid of a ,creator4 ,a distinguished surgeon declares that evolution from the monkey is mere non-sense but that life is a constant evolution1--two senses in the same sentence4 ,such confusion of meaning brings science into disrepute4 ,the meaning is shifted to suit4 ,,science means knowledge4 ,we are glibly told that science teaches the evolution of man when it teaches nothing of the kind4 ,a mere theory is not science until proven4 ,a man does not become a scientist by advocating an unproven theory1 but by making some notable contribution to knowledge4 ,these self-appointed scientists recklessly declare that the consensus of science favors evolution4 ,we oppose evolution not because it is science1 but because it is not science4 ,there is no conflict between ,christianity and real science1 but a fight to the death with science falsely so called4 ,,religion is often taken to mean deism1 or infidelity as well as ,christianity4 ,they show us where evolution and religion meet1 provided deism or infidelity is religion1 but not1 if ,christianity is religion1--an inexcusable confusion of terms4 ,,law is sometimes spoken of as if it had intelligence and power4 ,sometimes as a subordinate deity1 or agent of ,god1 or an indefinite principle4 ,darwin says3--,plants and animals have all been produced by laws 787 acting around us4 ,that is impossible1 since laws can produce nothing4 ,he evidently gives to laws the credit that belongs to ,god4 ,,nature1 in like manner1 is often used as a substitute for ,god1 to avoid the mention of ,his name4 ,,modernism is a fine sounding word1 suggestive of learning and culture and the last word in science1 but doubts or denies many of the essential doctrines of the ,christian religion4 ,it is infidelity pure and simple and of the most dangerous kind1 camouflaged under this attractive name4 ,who can deny the statement that the only thing modern about modernism is its hypocrisy8 ,it is ancient infidelity pretending to be a ,christian view4 ,bearing the ,christian flag1 it attacks ,christianity4 ,modernists are evidently ashamed of a name which fitly describes their views1 and seek another4 ,infidels have tried to win under their own name4 ,they have failed4 ,will they succeed under the camouflaged name of modernism8 ,camouflaged under an attractive name1 modernists doubt or deny the real inspiration of the ,bible1 the ,virgin birth of ,jesus1 his deity1 his miracles1 his bodily resurrection1 the resurrection of the dead1 and his personal second coming to judge the quick and the dead4 ,some modernists reject a part of these great truths1 and some reject all4 ,,liberal is another term stolen by infidels ashamed of their own name4 ,they are no more liberal in a good sense than others4 ,a ,,rationalist is not entitled to the term1 because he is often more innocent of reasoning than his opponents4 ,reason is not opposed to revelation4 ,we believe in an inspired revelation1 because it is reasonable to do so4 ,rationalism is another camouflage for infidelity4 ,we can have some respect for an honest professed skeptic1 but how can we respect a man who insists on adding hypocrisy to his infidelity1 that1 by so doing1 he may make greater havoc of the church8 ,modernists give such a diluted interpretation to inspiration1 to the statements of ,scripture1 and the ,apostles' ,creed1 and the creeds of the churches1 that all may mean little or nothing1 and the floodgates of infidelity and atheism are opened wide4 ,it has been truly said1 ,if the ,bible is not really inspired1 it is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind2 for1 from lid to lid1 it claims to be the word of ,god4 ,likewise1 if ,moses was not inspired1 he was the greatest liar of history4 ,every variety of infidel and species of atheist will rejoice1 if evolution be accepted1-whether modernists1 liberals1 rationalists1 or simple unbelievers on their way to the bottomless pit4 ,if evolution wins1 ,christianity loses and the church fails4 ,we hope that scientists will consign to innocuous desuetude their camouflaged sesquipedalian vocabularies1 and tell us what they mean in short words1 so we all may know what they say4 #dg4 ,,what ,,are ,,we ,,to ,,believe8 ,some would have us believe there is no ,god2 or that matter is eternal2 or that matter was evolved out of nothing2 or that all things came by chance2 or that there is nothing but matter1--no ,god1 no spirit1 no mind1 no soul4 ,some would have us believe that ,god created nebulous matter1 and then ceased to control the universe2 that life developed spontaneously2 that species developed by chance1 or natural selection1 or by a powerless law1 from one primordial germ4 ,others say that all the countless exhibitions of design by a matchless ,intelligence1 are to be explained by a causo-mechanical theory1 which means the theory of blind unintelligent chance1 without purpose or design or interference of ,god4 ,some say that ,god may have created one germ or at most #d or #e1 and that #c1jjj1jjj species of plants and animals developed from this microscopic beginning4 ,we are asked to believe that some plants became animals1 or some animals became plants1 or that all plants and animals came from the one germ they allowed ,god to create4 ,they say that all species developed by growth1 but do not explain why we still have the one-celled amoeba1 the microscopic bacilli of plant life1 and the microscopic species of animal life4 ,many geologic species are largest at the beginning2 many ancient animals were much larger than their successors2 and the reptilian age was noted for animals of enormous size4 ,yet they want us to believe that growth is universal4 ,they ask us to believe1 without proof1 that some marine animals evoluted into amphibians1 some amphibians became reptiles1 some reptiles developed hair and became mammals1 and some reptiles developed feathers and wings and became birds2 some mammals became monkeys1 and some monkeys became men4 ,for evidence of this1 there is not a single connecting link to show the transformation4 ,geology furnishes no fossils of the millions and billions of connecting links that must have existed4 ,for the scheme would require not only millions of links between man and the monkey1 but also millions between each of the #h great changes from matter to man4 ,yet we are asked to accept these fantastic and impossible speculations as science1 though it lead to infidelity and atheism and bolshevism and anarchy and chaos1 wreck religion1 make havoc of the church1 and send countless souls to the lost world4 ,what wonder that the soul recoils with horror from such an atheistic theory4 #dh4 ,,what ,,can ,,we ,,do8 ,evolution1 leading to infidelity and atheism1 is taught in many universities1 colleges and high schools1 and even in the lower grades of the public schools4 ,it is taught also in some theological seminaries4 ,it is proclaimed in some pulpits4 ,some of its devotees1 who have slipped into places of power and influence1 urge it with a zeal worthy of a better cause4 ,the public libraries are crammed with books teaching it1 with few1 if any1 opposed4 ,strange to say1 it is advocated by some religious newspapers1 along with modernism and other varieties of infidelity4 ,some secular newspapers seem eager to publish1 on the front page1 attacks on

and suppress so pernicious a theory8 ,what can we do8 ,we can refuse to patronize or endow such institutions as teach this or other forms of infidelity and atheism4 ,we can aid those only that are

their grandfathers were not birds at all4 ,then they could not fly1 for they had neither wings nor feathers4 ,these grandfathers of our birds had four legs1 a long tail1 and jaws with teeth4 ,after a time feathers grew on their bodies1 and their front legs were changed for flying4 ,these were strange looking creatures4 ,there are none living like them now4' ,would any one who would teach a little child1 the extremely improbable story that reptiles became birds1 hesitate to teach that monkeys became men and that the story of creation was false8 ,much can be done by the church authorities in

,no prophet1 no priest1 no king1 no patriarch of ,israel had ever been greeted in such fashion4 ,of nobody else in the world are these words spoken today4 ,how pure must have been the life1 how majestic the personality1 how wise the utterances1 how divine the deeds1 that compelled this thrilling answer from the apostle's lips4 ,surely something really wonderful beyond all previous ,hebrew experience was necessary before ,jews could bring themselves to acknowledge any man1 however exalted1 as divine4 ,the miracle of winning such a confession is testimony to the sovereign greatness of ,jesus4 ,we1 too1 have to answer the same question1 and there are facts which lead us to the same great confession of faith4 ,,five ,,tremendous ,,facts #a4 ,jesus1 a peasant1 is hailed today as ,king by people speaking #gej languages and dialects1 in all climes1 and of all classes4 ,people of every color raise to ,him the song of praise and crown ,him ,lord of all4 ,there is nothing like this in all history4 ,no other has ever approached this degree of sovereignty4 ,his kingdom pervades the world4 ,it is a fact that challenges thought4 ,no world conqueror has ever had such an empire4 ,beside this the royalty of men like ,alexander1 ,caesar1 ,charlemagne1 ,napoleon1 and more modern aspirants is shadowy and ghostlike4 ,his is an abiding and a spiritual dominion4 #b4 ,though an unlettered peasant1 ,jesus has become the world's greatest teacher4 ,for all our best knowledge of ,god1 for the revelation of divine ,fatherly love1 for our highest ideals of virtue1 for man's most glorious hope1 people on all sides look to ,him4 ,not only men of the highest rank1 but men of the richest culture sit at ,his feet4 ,the purest souls sit at ,his feet4 ,his golden rule will never be supplanted4 ,his name has become the synonym for all that is true and gracious4 ,to be ,christ-like must ever remain man's highest ideal4 #c4 ,he was a ,jew1 and yet ,he founded the brotherhood of man4 ,in ,his day ,jews had no dealings with ,samaritans4 ,but ,jesus had4 ,jews were fenced off from all other nations in the most exclusive way4 ,but ,his heart was all-inclusive1 and ,he broke down all walls that separated class from class as well as nation from nation4 ,his thought was universal4 ,his spirit was international4 ,he founded a kingdom based1 as ,napoleon said1 not on force but on love1 and love is universal4 ,it leaps over mountains1 it spans oceans4 ,it speaks in all tongues4 ,the true ,league of ,nations and the real disarmament are part of ,his plan for the world4 ,he was son of ,israel only incidentally4 ,essentially ,he was ,son of ,man--the true brother of all mankind4 #d4 ,his life was short1 but it changed the world4 ,no one ever did so much in so short a time4 ,at the most his years numbered thirty-three years1 and of these only a little less than three were devoted to public ministry1 and these were spent in a conquered province of the ,roman ,empire4 ,he was killed by aliens at the request of ,his own countrymen4 ,and yet time is reckoned from ,his birth4 ,the very terms ,b4,c4 and ,a4,d4 have great significance4 ,he divides not only time1 but also space4 ,the nations are ,christian and non-,christian1 which is about equal to saying1 civilized and barbarous4 ,one has only to think of the ideals and practices of pagan people before they received the influences of ,christianity to see the difference ,he makes everywhere4 ,no tribe on earth was ever lifted from savagery by the influence of ,socrates1 no crime-soaked soul was ever saved by his name and yet ,socrates was the wisest and noblest of the ,greeks4 ,he lived for seventy years and for forty years taught the young men in the most cultured age and among the most intellectual people in the world4 ,but ,jesus has lifted cannibals and washed the souls of men who were steeped in blackest vice4 ,the rationalist ,lecky said that the simple record of ,his three brief years of active life had done more to regenerate and soften mankind than all the disquisitions of philosophers and than all the exhortations of moralists4 #e4 ,he was crucified1 and made of the cross a throne from which to rule the hearts of men4 ,the cross was a gallows far more hideous and cruel than the hangman's gallows4 ,it was the symbol of crime1 of shame1 of degradation4 ,he transformed it4 ,it is today the symbol of love1 of purity1 of virtue4 ,his dream came true4 ,once only did a man dream that by dying upon a cross would ,he teach men to say that ,god is love1 that love is universal1 that there is hope for sinners1 and that the worship of ,god must be spiritual4 ,this is the miracle of the ages4 ,the ,crucified has become the ,king4 ,here then are five tremendous facts4 ,they are unique4 ,if only one were true it would make ,him remarkable1 but they are all true4 ,,the ,,meaning ,,of ,,the ,,facts ,what shall we say of this ,man8 ,he accepted ,peter's tribute4 ,he allowed ,jews to take up stones to stone ,him for claiming to be ,son of ,god4 ,he was conscious of being divine4 ,he forgave sins1 which is ,god's prerogative4 ,he promised rest to the weary soul1 which the ,old ,testament set forth as ,god's own gift4 ,he said that ,he came to give life eternal1 although ,god is the giver of life4 ,he said that none could know the ,father except through ,him4 ,he spoke to ,god of the glory which they shared together before the world was4 ,just in proportion as men have acknowledged ,his claims in their hearts have they found peace with ,god and conquest over sin and the fear of worldly evil4 ,as we consider all these things we are led to repeat ,peter's confession1 ,thou are the ,christ1 the ,son of the living ,god1 for ,god the ,father's face shines upon us through ,him and heaven is opened to us as we look upon ,him4 ,in the heart of this the purest of men was the clear1 constant consciousness that ,he was divine4 ,he always spoke and acted consistently with this consciousness4 ,unique in character1 ,he made claims that would have stamped any other man as an impostor4 ,humility and majesty dwell together in ,him4 ,he could say1 ,i am meek and lowly in heart1 and also ,i and my ,father are one4 ,he would call men ,his brethren and yet accept from them the words1 ,my ,lord and my ,god4 ,this wonderful character came of a race that had for ages looked for the coming of a ,messiah1 and whose prophetic literature was burdened with this hope4 ,after his death his disciples who were heartbroken and cowed became inspired with a heroism that cheerfully faced martyrdom4 ,all these facts are shining lights that point to the truth which ,peter confessed4 ,that truth is enshrined in the triumphant words of the ,te ,deum1 ,thou are the ,king of glory1 ,o ,christ4 ,thou art the everlasting ,son of the ,father4 ,and the ,christ of history1 the exalted ,son of ,god1 is a living ,presence with us today4 ,not remote but ever near1 ,he walks by our side in
