Catastrophism, decay, and conservational activities prevail in antagonism. Because of innate propensity of matter, organic matter came from inorganic matter by spontaneous generation. Since spontaneous generation of life is contradictory to Second Law of Thermodynamics, only special creation of life could be cause of life. Changes in evolutionary sequence of life forms are due to random mutational changes in genes. Changes of complex forms or kinds from less complex kinds are the result of accumulation of random variations.
Mankind is related to the ape through an unknown common ancestor.
Mankind is a special creation. Fossils of genus Homo are immediate ancestors of modern man. Races of man resulted from mutations and segregation in early man-like forms. Human beings all belong to one race and languages are merely tribal differences. Evolutionary humanism can be a guiding faith.
