Men and MONKEYS

Evoon and the Darwnian theory are lately coming in
for an unusual number of from the Bryans the Vovas
and other champions of the special creation and divine origin
of man laws being passed to make their teaching
crime just they few centuries ago to keep tne
earth flat and the moving Yet man composed tunda
mentally of the materials the rest OF the universe OIL
the same elements those shat in the waters,
gaop the winds and constitute the substance of the insen-
safe rocks and soils"
Man is an animal and his body composed of cells
all other animals are Like all other animals he grows from
single CELL is mortal, dies after allotted period He
nhaes oxygen and exhales carbon doxde does
other animal, whether it has lungs, gils or skin
Let us indicate of the points of similarity of
structon between and other animals: Man is a
vetebrate has backbone like fishes amphbians, reptiles
birds and mammals, all of universal type with
notifications to suit environment with parts
specialized and parts atrohed He differs only from
others that he his poseror limbs for ocomoton and
his anterior for prehenson his is erect instead of
horizontal and his tail is atrophed He possesses all the
physical qualities of the verebrate two chambered body
cavity, dorsaly located trunk vertebrate vital
closed crculatory system, ventra heart, red
blood head containing brain and organs and WE'LL
ordered internal skeleton.
Man is mammal like the horse the deer and the hare
and all other animals that have hair instead of scales or
feathers like them, he is vvparous the eggs Matching
within the parental body the helpless young sustained during
infancy by secretions of the milk glands Among mammals
the lower jaw is Joined directly to the SKULL instead of being
suspended by bone The heart four chambered instead
of two chabred the red blood corpusces are double
and circular instead of and oval and daphragm
divides the body cavity into chest and abdomen.
Man is primate that is like apes and monkeys he has
arms and hands instead Of foreegs He the only prate
using hindmbs solely for ocomoton though all of themI
use the arms for manipulation Fingers toes of prmates
end in nails somachs shaped like agpipes mIglands

more closely related to the apes than other both prob

Man differs from other animals principally by his greater
brain capacity and consequently higher intelligence which has
enabled him to dominate the world Somewhere along the
course of his progress he has developed spirit or soul
tho he may not be alone in this
That mans intelligence is not much to boast of is shown
in Kentucky where large organizations appealed to the
state legislature for law making it criminal offense to
teach in any institution maintained by taxation any theory
of evolution that derives from the brute or any other
form OF life or that eliminates God the creator of man by
direct creative act"
majority in both houses of the legislature is said to
favor the bill and if the proud old commonwealth of
Kentucky will stand like rock against scientific progress
and modern heresy The example may followed in other
states and Vovas flat earth and solid sky NAV vet he

All of which shows that came from monkevs soma
