Evolution

PREFACE

"The Knowledge of Error is not Learning."

All must admit that recently science has made immense contributions to the material interests of humanity. But science must not, like the unthinking horse which rushes into the battle, thoughtlessly invade the supernal realms of the Omnipotent, the Omniscient and the Omnipresent; for above all, beneath all, and beyond all is the Absolute, Eternal Personality, infinite in power, wisdom and goodness. Also, it must be remembered that while He has bestowed upon plants, animals and men the powers of propagation, He has never endowed any creation or creature with that incommunicable attribute, the power to create. Even philosophy demands. that there should be only One Infinite. Therefore, necessarily, according to both reason and Scripture, there can be only One Creator, consequently, plants cannot make animals and animals cannot make men.

Of course Satan's explanation of the Cosmos by unscientific assumptions about creative power having been given (but who was the giver?) to plants and animals-this senseless assumption has always been accepted by infidels and the baser sort of heathen; but never by the Christian Church.

Now, this book is written to show that Evolution-which is the most common and the most degrading manifestation of materialism-that Evolution is utterly unphilosophical,

unscientific, and unscriptural. The further purpose is to save our dear school children and students from the mental and moral defilements of this "Mud Philosophy."

"This is the slaughter of an ugly theory by beautiful facts" and "not the slaughter of a beautiful theory by ugly facts."

The kind offices and Christian sympathies of all good citizens are earnestly and respectfully solicited that this great, miserable educational heresy may speedily be banished from our schools, colleges and churches, and that the Holy Scriptures with their beautiful and divinely inspired account of our creation in the "image" and "likeness" of our Heavenly Father, may be speedily restored to its place of influence in the public schools and that consequently our boys and girls may be found, not in the Juvenile Court, but in the Church and Sunday School.
