OuCdHB, out perfect man. mat is
the Bible account. The evolutionist
account: Away back in the ages there
were four or five primal germs, OF
seminal spores from which all the liv
ing creatures have been evolved. Go
away back, and there you will find
vegetable stuf: that might be called
mushroom. This mushroom by innate
force develops a tadpole, the tadpolc
by innate fc rec developes a pollywog,
the pollywog develops a fish, the fish
by natural force develops into a rep
tile, the reptile develops into quad
ruped, the quadruped develops into
baboon, the baboon develops into a
man.
Darwin says that the human hand is
only iish's fin developed. He says
that the human lungs are only a swim
bladder showing that we once foated
or were amphibious. lie says the
human ear could once have been moved
by force of will just rs horse lifts its
ear at frightful object. He says the
human race were originally web-footed.
From primal germ to tadpole, from
from reptile to wolf, from wolf to chin
panzee, and from chimpanzee to man.
Now, if anybody says that the Bible
account of the starting of the human
race and the evolutionist account of
the starting of the human race arc
the same accounts, he makes an appal-
ling Misrepresentation.
Prefer. if you will, Darwin's "Origin
of the Species" to the book of Genesis,
but known you are an intidel. AS for
myself, as Herbert Spencer was not
present at the creation and the Lord
Almighty was present, prefer to take
the Divine account as to what really
occurred on that occasion. TO show
that this evolution is only an attempt
to eject God and to postpone Him, and
to put Him clear out of reach, l ask a
question or two. The baboon made
the man and the wolf made the bab-
oon, and the reptile made the quad
ruped, and the fish made the reptile,
and the tadpole made the fish, and
the primal germ made the tadpole.
Who made the primal germ? Most
of the cvolutionists say: 1--WE don't
know" Others say it made itself.
Others say it was spontaneous genera
tion. There is not one of them who
will fairly and openly and frankly and
emphatically say. God made it.
The nearest to direct answer is that
made BY Herbert Spencer in which he
says it was made by the great "un-
movable mystery" But here comes
Huxley with cup of protoplasm to
explain the thing. This protoplasm,
he says, is primal life giving quality
with which the race away back in the
ages was started. With his protoplasm
he proposes to explain everything.
Dear Mr.. Huxley, who made the proto-
plasm?
To show you that evolution is in
fdel, place the Bible account of how
the brute creation was started opposite
to the evolutionist's account, of the
way the brute creation was started.
Bible account: You know the Bible
tells how that the birds were made at
one time, and the cattle made ut an
other time, and the fish made at an
other time, and that each brought
forth after its kind. Evolutionist's ac-
count: From four or five primal germs
or seminal spores all the living Great
ures evolved. Hundreds of thousands
of species Of insects, of reptiles, of
beasts, Of fish, from four germs-a
statement fatty contradicting not only
the Bible. but the very A of science.
A species never developes into any
thing but it's own species. In all the
ages and in NIL the world there has
never been an exception to it. The
shark never comes of a whale, nor the
pigeon of a vulture, nor the butterfly
Of wasp. Species never cross over.
II there be an attempt at it, it is hy-
brid, and the hyorid is always sterile
and has no descendants.
These men Of science tell us that
100, 900 species came from four, when
the law all through the universe is
that, starting in one species it keeps
on in that species, and there would
be only four now If there had been
four at starting. II l should say to
you that the world is fiat, and that a
circle and square are the same, and
that twice two make Is, | would come
| just as near the truth as when these
evolutionists tell you that 100000 spe-
cies came from four Evolution would
have been left out of the question with
its theory fatty contradlcting all
observation and all science, had not its
authors and their disciples being so set
on ejecting God from their universe and
destroying the Bible that they will go
to any length though it lead them into
idiotic absurdity. You see what the
Bible teaches in regard to it. l have
shown you also what evolution teaches
in regard to it.
Agassiz says that he found in reef
of Florida the remains of insects 1000
years old-not three, but 10000 years
old-and they were just like the insects
now. There has been no change. AL
the facts of ornithology and zoology
and ichthyology and conchology, but
an echo Of Genesis first and twenty
first: Every winged foul after his
kind" Every creature after its kind
When common observation and science
corroborate the Bible will not stultify
