HAS CREATION STOPPED?
Creative Processes Are Still
Going On
(By Joe b. Thorn.)

Life is the product of a body of ade-
quate size, and supplied with proper ele-
ments, in passing from a heated state into
a cold one.
1t is stated by scientists everywhere that
the heat of the earth would have destroyed
any germs that might have happened to be
upon it when first formed (by the sum-
The germ-the souls either electricity
or else something closely related to that
force, as fire, light, magnetism, etc. No
matter how hot body is, it could not have
destroyed any of these forces. Therefore,
/ hold, that it could neither destroy germ.
If you take a grain of corn and heat it,
you may cause a disintegraton, but is the
germ destroyed?
Remember this: You may annihilate
form, but neither force or material The
condition, and not the substance, can be
destroyed. Possibly in the grain of corn
cause there was no disintegration, but
simply an alteration of condition, which
keeps the grain of corn from being capable
of reproduction on account of the destruc-
ton of the germ cells.
We believe that the earth was capable
Of creating only one cell organisms. |
don suppose that there is man living
who ever saw this done; but there is no
reason for doubling it.
If all now living animals were verte-
brates, we would have reason to believe
that the earth stopped creating long ago.
But such is not the case. The animal king
dom stretches from man, the highest of the
vertebrate family, down to the lowest one
cell organism. Therefore, we hold that the
earth stopped creating only short time
ago, or else Gin the tepd currents of the
equatorial streams,-in the marshes Of the
Torrid Zone, or in the rank atmosphere of
a gloomy southern forest, Mother Earth
still displays, unseen by human eyes, her
various forms of present creation"
1t is true that conditions have changed,
but can we deny that there is still enough
perpetual (externaD heat in the Torrid
Zone to keep up the process Of creation?
This question remains to be answered. If
creation Tin lowest forms) was still going
on, could man tell it? Another unanswer-
able question. The invisible fora and fauna
of the air which we constantly breathe,
could not have been created millions of
years ago. IH+.G.
IF the earth can create one germ, it can
create thousands at the same time and
place.
The fora and fauna created by the earth
Blue-grass blade., 1909-05-23
Approves DR.. Hausman's Sentiments but
Thinks that the Blade Has Not
Broadened Out Enough to
Do Real Good.
(By H. r. Ahrens.)

by H. r. Ahrens.)
In writing this i want to be frank with
you in regard to ex-patrons' views of the
Blade.
We think the Blade is not covering
enough ground. In plain language, it is
too narrow OF course, | realize and can
plainly see, that you are predetermined and
that you favor a diversified class of read
ing, but | am aware that certain number
of patrons have the idea that Freethought
would cure all ills of our body polite, and
they set up howl if an article of reform
politics puts in an appearance. As long as
Freethinkers make such one-sided demands
and show such little tolerance, they can
only be classed with the narrow, bigoted
relgionists, who think everything will be
solved if the world was converted to their
narrow belief. If these well-meaning people
who seem to dictate the policy of the Blade
and hold it down to the discussion of the
harm Of the retrogressive tendencies
brought about by the belief in personal
god and the infallibility of the bible If
these people would stop harping this song,
and give their attention to political ques-
tions, and while they are studying these
different demands of the different parties
would study with an unprecedented mind
the claims and demands of Socialism, they
would come to the conclusion that there are
more questions awaiting solution besides
the demolition of religious superstition.
The present state of superstitious relig-
ious worship and the power of the clergy
is based on hypocrisy brought about by the
dependency and uncertainty Of life which
the present generation is facing How
many business and professional people
would pretend to be religious if they were
economically free? The church IS popular
ity and power is founded on hypocrisy;
each one is trying to make the rest of the
world think that Christianity is the sign
of responsibility, and that because they are
dependent on other people who are as mrch
hypocrltes as they are, they cannot afford
to have the ill-will Of those who contribute
to their existence IF we had a different
economic system, a system which would
give each worker an equal chance for
living with the rest of the population, then
people would be economically Independent,

to speak their true sentiments. If eco
monte freedom was given today, 1t would
only be short time until we would see an
emancipation from the domination cf the
churches.
The emancipation from church power
and the consequent results will never hap
pen until we have economic freedom, and
since economic emancipation is the founda-
ton on which religious freedom will be
erected, the enlightened and broad Free
thinkers should not object if the editors of
a Freethought paper broadens out into
other questions. l had the pleasure of
hearing Arthur Morris Lewis, Of Chicago.
His lectures were simply grand. He knew
how to Intervene the tenets of Freethought
with Socialism. | am certain his lectures
would find favor with the Blade readers.
| was so discouraged with the monoto-
nous reading the Blade furnished,-I mean
discussing the old question in the old way,
that | aimed to stop the paper being sent
to my address. But when DR.. Hausman's
writings made their appearance, | took
on courage. Judging from the tone of the
articles, | am hopeful that he will create
a sentiment which was lacking with the
majority of the Blade readers. l am hope
full that DR.. Hausman S articles will show
that economic evolution must be had be-
fore we can expect evolution Of the mental
kind. ! am certain that after DR.. Hausman
gets through with his articles, the thought
mode of the ma jority of the Blade s read
ers will see a change, and that it will
broaden their views to such an extent that
they will not reproach you for admitting
to the Blade columns articles treating the
subject Of political evolution and its rela-
tionship to the making of a free and proud
humanity humanity which will rely on
its own strength instead of asking favors
from god in the skies,-a humanity which
will lose the belief in hell of fire and n
terrible ruler.
We will then have humanity which
knows how TO live and use the demands Of
nature as a rule to live by We will have
a humanity who will be better and grander
and more beautiful; who will throw aside
all sefishness and recognize the rest of hui
mainly as part of the human brotherhood
and will surpass the present human being
to such an extent that the present society
will be spoken of as we do of the period
of the Middle Ages.
I did not write the foregoing for publ
cation, but | got started on my sentiment,
and couldn't stop when / ought to have
done so.
/ beg your pardon for this explosion,
but accept my congratulations on being so
fortunate in obtaining the articles of Dr.
