of a poetic tran slato r ra th e r th an of an original scientific th ink er.” It is cause for thankfulness th a t Prof. Drummond, on his death bed, said to Sir William Dawson, the famous Chris tia n geologist: “ I am going away back to th e Book to believe it and receive it, as I did a t the first, and can live no longer on uncertainties. I am going back to th e faith of th e Word of God.” Theistic evolution led him to doubt God’s Word. When th e clear ligh t of etern ity dawned on his soul, he left th e uncertainties of evolution and went back to his old faitth. If you bring God into creation, Gen. 1 holds the field, and there is no evolution there. The Agnostic School has for its key word, “Don’t know.” “How did m atter o rig inate?” “Don’t know .” “Where did life come from ?” Don’t know.” “How did th e coldblooded reptile be come a warmblooded mamm al?” “Who lit th e fire and pu t th e k ettle on ?” “ Don’t know.”,, The Agnostic Evolu tion ist rem inds me of the colored preacher who said to his people: “When de Lawd made Adam, He made him of wet clay, and put him by de fireplace to dry.” A colored b ro th er said, "P ah - son, you say Adam de fu st man, who den made dat fireplace?” “Sit down, sa h !” said th e preacher, “ If you pro pound such questions, you knock de bot tom clean out of theology.” The A theistic Evolutionist denies the existence of God. M atter is eternal, and is evoluting w ithout any personal superintendence. God’s Word says: “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.” When God calls a man a fool, we can a t least say Amen to it. The Evolution theory has th ree de partm ents. The Cosmic deals w ith the formation of worlds. The Organic deals trea ts of th e mind. Evolution asserts th a t m illions and millions of years ago th ere was a ne bula, or cloud, of red hot gas containing
in itself the elements and resident force th a t enabled it to develop into the m ighty universe of suns, w ith th e ir a t tend an t planets; and on th e ea rth to progress from dead m a tte r th rough liv ing plants and animals, un til the grand climax was reached in man. The evolu tionist claims to be the superman, and boldly states he knows more of crea tion th an our Lord. Cosmic Evolution According to th is theory, th e fire- m ist cooled and contracted, and so com menced a whirling motion. And as it whirled, g reat pieces whirled off and formed suns. These suns whirled off planets. Our earth whirled off the moon, and here we are, sun, moon and stars, all out o f w hirling red hot gas! Then the ea rth k ep t cooling, and w ater came. In this w ater th ere was a movement of the atoms th a t developed a slime, the m ighty slime of Protoplasm , made up of nitrogen, oxygen, hydro gen, and carbon. And righ t here Organic Evolution steps in and takes th e superintendence, This slime evolutes into moss and plants. Then a plan t into a worm. The worm, feeling chilly, grew a shell. Then a shellfish grew th e bones inside and became a fish. The fish evolutes into a frog, and th e frog into a dino saur. The dinosaur got “ little r and little r” every day, in every way and grew feathers, becoming a bird. The bird grew into a kangaroo, th e kanga roo into a mastodon; the mastodon into a deer; th e deer into a Lemur monkey; then th e ape, then th e gorilla; and one day a gorilla said; “ I must reach higher,” and so he took the m ighty leap, and behold, an evolutionist professor, who, looking back on his ancestry, re members th e tim e when he was a b it of slime on a w ater pond! And they call this science! It does take a m ighty lot of thinking to believe it. The so-called
