me controversy ABOUT Creation.
Evolution and Dogma. -
THE controversy over the idea of
evolution is prominent feature in
the mental life of the nineteenth cen
fury. 1t is true that a few great think
ers had spoken of natural evolution
of all things several thousand years
ago. They had, indeed, partly investi-
gated the laws that control the birth
and death of the world, and the rise of
the earth and its inhabitants; even the
creation stories and myths of the older
religions betray partial influence of
these evolutionary ideas. But it was
not until the nineteenth century that
the idea of evolution took definite
shape and was scientifically grounded
on various classes of evidence; and it
was not until the last third Of the cen
fury that it won general recognition.
The intimate connection that was
proved to exist between all branches
of knowledge, once the continuity of
historical development was realized.
and the union of them all thru the
Monistic philosophy, are achievements
Of the last few decades.
The great majority OF the older
ideas that thoughtful men had formed
on the origin and nature of the worlG
and their own frame were far removed
from the notion of acknowledgements.
They eliminated in more or less OBJ
scure creation myths, which generally
ut in the foreground the idea of a
PERSONAL creator. Just as man has
ised intelligence and design in the
making OF his weapons and tools, his
houses and his boats, so It was thought
hat the creator had fashioned the
world with art and intelligence, &C.
iording to a definite plan. Among the
many legends OF this kind the ancient
Semitic story Of creation familiar to

for the most part from Babylonian
sources, has obtained a very great In.

inconsistency with the predominant
religions
If we glance for a moment at the
various fields in which the idea of evo-
luton is scientifically applied we find
that, firstly, the whole universe is con-
ceived as a unity; second, our earth;
thirdly, organic life on the earth;
fourthly, man, as special immaterial
entity. Thus we have, in historical
succession, the evolutionary research
Of cosmology, geology, biology, anthro-
pology and psychology.
Tie first comprehensive idea of cos
biological evolution was put forth by
the famous critical philosopher I'M
manuel Kant, in 1855, in the great
work of his earlier years, General
Natural History of the Heavens. or an
