evolution. And I do not love him ono
bit. And my high calling demands that
fight him. l am doing just that
In this series of sermons. And I
know what I am doing.
First proof: No evolutionist today,
OF any reputation. claims that evolu-
ton explains either % the origin of
matter; CD the origin of force; (3)
the origin of the orderly working of
force in the universe: % the origin
OF life; 90 the origin of mind in
man; (6) the origin OF the moral ma
ture in man; (7) or the origin of the
spiritual nature in man. which dis
tinguishes him from all other animals
as a worshipping animal. No great
evolutionist pretends to claim that
evolution explains one of these seven
great mysteries. There are but two
logical explanations: That of the
atheistic evolutionist. that matter and
force are eternal--though he cannot
account for the results that he claims
come by natural processes from eter-
nal force working upon eternal mat
ter; and the other explanation. that
an eternal, uncreated God, spoke
them into being by his almighty pow
err. Which explanation is correct?
Which Is 'scientific?'
Second proof: No evolutionist, Of
any reputation, any longer claims that
evolution has proved that ever in the
history of the world has one species
evolved into another species. They
all admit that the claims put forth
by evolution that species are SO
evolved, are wholly without proof. No
record of any of the thousands of re-
jected species has ever been found.
that must have existed and been re-
jected as unfit, between species exist
ing at present, in the whole range OF
existing things, and animals. They
have been unable to find any of the
missing links to span the open CULTS;
and they admit it. And If they
themselves admit 1t, do we need fur
Their proof? Darwin himself con-
fessed toward the end: Geology as
suredly does not reveal any such fine
ly graduated organic chain: and this
perhaps is the most obvious and
greatest objection to my theory At
the same time he said: I do not
pretend that I ever should have sus-
pected how poor was the record
"Agassiz asserted that no fewer
than sixteen impossible CULTS exist.
where old races disappeared and en-
tirely new races came into existence,
with no d1scoverable connections be-
tween them. Darwin means by his
confession: L formed my theory upon
the assumption that I should find in
the rocks. fossil specimens of the
lost species that my theory calls for;
and do not find them; and their alb
sence presses heavily on my theory,
| and is the most obvious and greatest
| objection to my theory Agassiz
statement means that races do not
| evolve into other races; but that each
| new race comes into being by new
| creation. And that is what the Bible

what the Bible says. unless there is
within us some revolt against revela-
| ton?
Eyolutionists Doubtful.
! Third proof: Not only have the
leading advocates of evolution adj
mitted that it Is an unproven theory.
| but many of them have rejected 1t
| altogether somewhat recently. Agas-
siz swung back far from its assump-
! tons. Darwin admitted that he was
greatly confused about it. Even Prof.
