ACCORDING TO TYNDALL. HUXLEY, SrEN-
GER AND DARWIN.
Genesis, Chapter II)
l. Primarily the Unknowable moved up
on cosmos and evolved protoplasm.
= And protoplasm was inorganic and
undltferentiated, containing all things in
| potential energy; and a spirit OF evolu-
ton moved upon the Huia mass
D. And the Cnknowable said, Let atoms
attract; and their contact begat light,
heat, and electricity
4. And the UnconIitioned differentiated
the atoms, each after its kind; and their
combinations begat rock, air, and water.
). And there went out spirit of evolu-
ton from the Unconditioned apd working
in protoplasm b accretion and absorption
produced the organic cell,
6. And cell, by nutrition, evolved pri-
modal germ, and germ developed proto-
gene and protogene begat cocoon, and
cocoon begat monad, and mouad begat
animalcule
!, And animalcule begat ephcmera;
then began creeping things to multiply on
the face of the earth.
s. And earthly atom in vegetable proto-
plasm begat the molecule, and thence
came all grass and every herb in the earth
g. And ;.uuIulcl,la in the wotor evolved
fins, tails, claws, and scales and in the
air wings and beaks and on the land they
sprouted such organs as We're necessary
as played upon by the environment.
10. And by accretion and absorption
came the radata and molusca, and mol
lusca begat articulats, and articuata begat
vetebrata
H. Now these are the generations Of
the higher vertebrate, in the cosmic peri
od that the CnAnowable evoluted the bpc-
dal mammalia.
II. And every maa OF the earth, while
he was Yet monkey, and the horse, while
he was Il hipparion, and the hipparioa be-
fore he was OredOn.
l3. Out of the as"idan came the am
phibian and begat the pentadactyle and
the pentadactyle by inheritance and ,elcr-
ton produced the hylobate. from whirIt
are the simiadH in all their tribes.
II And out of the simiadT the lemur
prevailed above his fellows and produced
the platyrrhine monkey.
l5. And the platyrrhine bcgat the catar-
rhine, and the catarrhine monkey begat
the anthropoid ape, and the ape begat
the longlmanous ourang and the ourang
begat the chimpanzee, and the chimpan-
zee eyoluted the what-is-it
I6 And the what-is-it went into the
land of Nod and took him wife of the
longimanous gibbons.
II. And in process of the cosmic period
were born unto them and their children
the anthropomorphic pinioridial types
Is. The homuneulus, the prognathus,
the troglodyte, autochthon, the tcrragen--
these are the generations OF prineval
man
49, And primeyal man was naked and
not ashamed, but lived in quadrumanous
innocence, and struggled nightly to har-
moniZe with the environment
% And by inheritance and natural selec-
tion did he progress from the stable and
homogeneous to the complex and hetero-
geneous; for the weakest died, and the
strongest grew and multiplied.
u. And men grew a thumb for that he
had need of it, and developed capacities
tor prey.
p For, behold, the swiitcSt man caught
the most animals, and the swttest amin is
| GOT away from the most men; wherefore
| the slow animals were eaten, and the slow
men starved to death
23 And as types We're differentiated,
the weaker types continually disappeared.
2t And the earth was filled with vio-
leuce; tor man stroye with man, and the
tribe with tribe. whereby they killed off
the weak and foolish and secured the sur
yiyal OF the tittest,
