SATAN’S TRIANGLE (Continued from page 475)
teeth and horns. An example is that of the “Felidae,” which includes the various divisions of the cat family. The characteristic of this family is the arrangement for retract ing the claws. 'Next to the smallest division is the “genus.” This is a very artificial thing, and there is absolutely no way of determining between a “family” on the one hand and a “species” on the other. An example is that of the “cat genus” or “Felis,” which includes lions, tigers, wild cats, and domesticated cats. Some genera contain a hundred species, while others contain only one. They have no com mon characteristic other than being more like each other than they are like other animals. Species is the next smaller division in the table. Its meaning and use vary with each writer and oftentimes the same person uses the term in two or more ways. Such a question as that of “the origin of species” is, from defini tion alone, almost meaningless. The Evidence Space forbids a complete classification of plants or ani mals. Such classifications may be found in textbooks on biology and kindred subjects. The arguments for evolu tion from classification when carefully examined dwindles down to a mere assumption instead of an exact proof. To present this evidence to the reader, one of the clearest state ments from the pen of a modern evolutionist is from Schu- chert. “All organisms are related to one another, and this deter mined relationship can be readily visualized in a genealog ical tree wherein the degree of ancestral parentage is shown in the trunk, main branches, stems, and leaves. - - - The very fact that there are individuals of a kind that can be grouped into species and these into general classifica tions establishes the view of relationship. The' further fact that in many cases there are no distinct differences separating the species or even the genera is further proof of descent with change” (“A textbook of Geology,” pp. 422-23). To be able to imagine such a tree of life and to see any evidence in classification for evolution, one must possess an unusual “power of imagination.” We admit that a tree of life is interesting, but without a single legitimate connect ing link to establish it. We admit that it is not our task to break down the arguments of the evolutionist; it is his task to prove that evolution and not God explains the origin and course of life. This he has never proved. He “guesses” that evolution explains it. Implications of Evolutionary Classification At this point we wish to call the reader’s attention to the main divisions of a classification table of. animals and to see what evolution implies. The following table includes the phyla only, a typical representative, and the number of so-called species belonging to each. Number of Phyla Typical Representative Species 1. Protozoa— Paramecium ............................................. (8500). 2. Porifera-^-Sponge .......................................................(2500). 3. Coelenterata—Hydra...................................... (4200). 4. Ctenophora— Sea Walnut ......................-.................. (100). 5. . Platyhelminthes—Tapeworm ................................. (4600). 6 . Nemathelminthes— Roundworm ................... : (1500). 7. Echinodermata-—Starfish ........................~~ ..........(3000). 8 . Annelida— Earthworm .................. (4000). (Continued on page 515)
