VULNERABLE POINTS IN THE EVOLUTION THEORY <>» <•' -•)' speaks again, in characteristic fashion, the dog matic and scoffing temper of the evolutionist of the day. First, he calls evolution “ the Scientific explanation of the origin of species.” But that is the very question at issue: Is evolution tantamount to science? Therefore this editor is guilty of the logical fallacy of begging the question. He ought to study a good work on logic. Second, he treats anti-evolutionists as if they were sadly behind the times; as if they had not yet caught up with the people of 1875. This jibing at the1 intelligence of other people is a cheap way of dealing with opponents. It is" the Billingsgate way. As a rule, it simply advertises the bad temper of the person resorting to it, and his lack of the judicial spirit; also his consciousness of the fact that he has no arguments to present to uphold his cause. We wish to ask a simple question: Is it a mark of such wonderful “ progress” to believe that man was evolved from a brute ancestry? That it took his ancestors about a mil lion years .to! learn to walk on their hind legs? That they were once long-tailed, monkey-like creatures clambering about in the trees of the forests and jungles? Read H. G. Wells’ description of the “ old man” of the paleolithic age, devouring a half-decayed, uncooked fowl, and watching his chance to kill off his growing sons lest they become his rivals, and then tell us whether belief in such an origin for man is a sign-manual of progress and advancement. Put in contrast with it the Biblical account of the creation of man in the divine image, and, to our mind, it is the difference between day and night. In that record we can easily see the ground and source and cause of all true progress. It is so uplifting and potential a basis for man’s advancement and eternal purpose that no one should be surprised at the Christian’s unwillingness to surrender it for any other view.
