Primarily the Unknowable moved
upon cosmos and evolved protopiasm.
f12. And protoplasm was inorganic
and undiAerentiated, containing e!!
things in potential energy; and o epi-
rited evolution moved upon the fluid
mass.
| =. And the Unknowable said, Let
atoms attract; and their contact begat
light, heat and electricity.
4. And the Unconditional dih'eren-
tiated the atoms, and each after it's
kind; and their combinations besat
rcck, Dir aud water.
D. Aud there went ont spirit OF
evolution from the Unconditional, and
working in protoplasm, by accretion
and absorption produced the organic
cell.
| 6. And the cell by nutrition evolved
primordial germ, and germ developed
protogene. and protogene begut
cocoon. and cocoon bogat monad. and
monad begat animalcule.
Z. Aud animaloul;o begat ephe1nere;
then began creeping things to multi.
ply on the face of the earth.
8. And earthly atom in vegetable
protoplasm begat the moIecule, and
thence came oil grass and every herb
in the earth.
8. And animalculm in the water
evolved fms. tails, claws and scales.
and In tue sir wings aud beuks, and
on the land they sprouted such organs
as we're necessary as played upon by
the environment.
10. And by the accretion and ab-
sorptlon came the radiata nnd mol
lusca, and mellnsca begat nrticulata,
and articulata begat vertebrate.
IL: Now these are the generation of
the higher vertebrate, in the cosmic
period, that the Unknowable evolateL
the oipedal mammalia.
II. And every man of the enr,h,
while hn was yet monkey, and the
horse, while he was hippnrion, and
the hipparion before he was an ore
don.
| u. Out Of the ascidian came tnr
amphibiun, and begat the peudactyle;
aud the pendactyle. by inheritanc.
and selection, produced tho hybo!;.,e,
from which are the simiadae in all Their
tribes.
Il. And ont of the simiat,p the la.
muir prevailed above his fellows, AID
produced tue platyrhine monkey.
| 10. And the platyrhine begat the
cAttarrhlue, and the cattarrhiue non.
Key begat the anthropoid ape, and
tic ape begat the lonyimanous orang,
and the orang begnt the chimpanZec.
and the chiGpanzee eyoluted the what
is it?
10. And the what is it went into tie
land of Nod and took him wife OF
tue lonSimanous gibbons
II. And in process of the cosmic
period were born unto them and their
children the anthropomorphic primor-
dial types.
l9. The houuculus, tho procnathus.
the troglodyte, the autochtou. tho ter.
ragen-these are ths generations OF
prlmeval man.
49,. And the primeval man wac
naked and not ashamed, but lived in
4uadrumanous innocence, and strug-
gled nightly to harmonize with the
environment.
70. And by Inheritance and natural
stable and homogeneous to the com
plex and heterogeneous-for the weak
est died and the strongest grew and
multiplied.
Il. And man grew thumb for that
be had ncea Of it, and developed ca
pacities for prey.
%. For, behold, the swiftest men
caught the most animals, and The
swiftest animals got away from the
most men; wherefore the slow animals
| were eaten aud the slow men starved
to death.
%. Aud rs types we're differentiated
the weaker types continually disap-
peared.
24. And the earth was filled with
violence; for man strove with man, aud
tribe with tribe, whereby they killed
OIL the weak ana foolish and secured
the survival of tf 3 fttest.
