Chordata— Fish to Man ....................... ...............(30,000). A careful .study of the above animal forms, their habits and life histories, shows how impossible it is to believe that all life has evolved from some common unicellular form .' It is one thing for evolutionists to believe that Adam “was the son of a monkey, which was the son of a vulture, which was the son of a scorpion, which, was the son of a lizard, which was the son of a bumblebee, which was the son of a bug, which was the son of a tadpole, which was the son of God,” (*) but it is quite another thing for them to prove that the forms in any one phylum have evolved from or into forms of another phylum. Opposed to this are the laws of life that “like produces like” and “from nothing, nothing comes.” Vain Imaginations The protozoa may have evolved into some higher form, but we have no proof for it. Cockerell states that the sponge has “no tendency to evolve into anything higher” (Zoology, p. 207). The echinodermata have bodies that diverge from a common center. The shell fish have spit bodies, and most of them are covered with a skeleton of shell or chitin. The insects have bodies made up of a series of rings or segments movable one upon another and with a pair of jointed legs, attached to each segment. The verte brates have an internal skeleton to which the muscles are attached from the outside, both skeleton and muscle sur rounding and protecting the vital organs. Imagination alone can cause life to jump from the star fish to the oyster, from the oyster to the crab or honeybee, from the crab or honeybee to a fish, snake, bird, or man. The teaching is that one may not have descended directly from the other but that certain ones came from a common ancestry which has since disappeared from the earth and left no fossil remains. This is equivalent to saying that- each living form is represented by an imaginary limb on an imaginary tree of life. There is no portion of t h e , classification table of either plants or animals that is an exception to the above. The reader may prove this for himself by consulting a botany or zoology. To illustrate, the “vertebrata” is “subphylum IV” under “chordata” and includes the following classes: 1. Cyclostomata. 2 . 'Elasmobranchii. 3. Pisces. 4. Amphibia: Lowest— Mud-Puppy; Highest— Toad. 5. Reptilia: Lowest— Turtle; Highest— Snake. 6 . Aves: Lowest—Archaeopteryx; Highest— Sparrow, 7. Mammalia: Lowest— Duckbill; Highest—Man. It will be seen that the amphibia stand next to the rep tilia; the reptilia stand next below the birds; and the birds stand next below the mammal. Now by arranging all the forms of life in each of the sub-groups from low to high, it is found that the highest amphibian, the toad, falls next to the lowest reptile, the turtle. The highest reptile, the snake, falls next to the lowest bird, the extinct Arch aeopteryx. The highest bird, a song bird like the sparrow, falls next to the lowest mammal, the Australian duckbill. “Missing Links” are Still Missing It is readily seen that these forms, falling next to each other in pairs, should be very similar in appearance and (*) M cPherson, Rev. G. W „ The New Y ork H erald, A u g u st 13, 1922 pag e 5. N ote: Mr. M cPherson believes in special creation. H e is here show ing th e ridiculousness of evolutionary belief.
