It is a mass of theories as numerous as the prominent leaders of this so-called science. It is a jargon of contradictory speculations and why should anyone be ridiculed into accepting it in place of the statements of the Bible? Only a few months ago newspapers reported a discussion at a great gathering of scientists. A new teaching was strongly emphasized. Instead of the ape being related to man by ascent, it was said that it was probably related by descent. A noted German scientist was quoted as saying: “ The apes are to be regarded as degenerate branches of the human family.” However, if the Bible is true, neither theory is correct, although the latter sounds more reasonable than the former. Many ministers have made the mistake of espousing the cause of evolution in order to be in the popu lar swim, and by twisting and turning Scripture passages to make them fall in with scientific speculations, they have made a sickening mess. It is foolish to try to adjust the Bible to the changing theories of science, and the man who goes ahead, teaching what God has said, will eventually find himself in the better company, for all true science comes toward the Bible. We do not seek to ignore the evidence brought forth by evolutionists. It is interesting as showing the wonderfully close connection between the species. We can see the similarities, but we can see. nothing to contradict the greater fact of God’s creation of each of the species, according to the Bible. God’s challenge, “ brought forth after his kind,” has never been discredited by any human observation. I f there has been an actual de parture from this law, no scientist has even witnessed it. If man came from an ape, nothing would be easier than for an ape to become a man again, but evolutionists are compelled to admit that the process has for some reason been interrupted, and for all they know, it may never go on again. It would be honest of them to admit, while they are about it, that it never did go on, even though there are marked likenesses between certain «.ninnqln and man.—K. L. B.
