Professor More writes that: “Life and thought are the. great mysteries of the universe which can be explained only by themselves. To talk of the evolution of thought from sea-slime to amoeba, and from amoeba to a self-conscious, thinking man, means nothing; it is the easy solution of the thoughtless mind” (Ibid., pp. 2, 4). The aim of modern science then is to explain all the phenomena of nature by a single substance. This is mon istic philosophy. However, the explanation of mind and life áre barriers over which they cannot go. The physicist can détermine the rate of a rolling hall on an inclined plane; he can state that an object will forever remain stationary unless moved upon by some external force. But what about the rabbit “freezing” under a clump of grass or a robin watching for a worm. He has no law for these. He doesn’t know at what moment they may run or fly away or the direction in which théy will go. Motion, heat, light, sound, and electricity are studied in physics by means of laws and mathematical formula; and while the biologist and psychologist use the term “energy”, it is devoid of all meaning whatsoever. Electricàl energy may be converted into light or heat hut thought Can neither be measured nor converted into other forms of energy. Certain of the mechanists and behaviorists, seeing the difficulty, have tried to eliminate thinking or consciousness itself. But how can the botanist study tropisms or the psychologist “adjustments” except through consciousness. This matter upon which so much stress is laid is known only through the mind. Is not then mind às real as is matter? Phenomenalists like James and Wundt are inconsistent enough to admit the existence of molecules and atoms and deny the existence of the mental ego or soul. They claim that wê do not think or walk or fly;, hut that thoughts think, walking walks, and flying flies. (O’Toole, “The Case Against Evolution”). The absurdity of this monistic doctrine is seen in that all physical phenomena is known by mind and yet mind is explained in terms of physical phenomena. If these mon- ists would only forget their philosophy for a little while and use the eyes, and ears that God has given them, they would clearly see that matter and mind are two separate and distinct things, and that there is no causal relation between them. Mental activity cannot he explained, in terms of matter. Were memory the result of energy stored up somewhere in the brain, then memory should grow dimmer each time the experience is recalled. But the opposite is true. The Besults of Monism Believers in the monistic theory are forced to deny the existence of God. This is seen in Haeckel’s statement made a generation ago. He writes:- We must decidedly adopt that view of the universe which is called the monistic, or single-principle theory, as opposed to the two-fold principle or dualistic theory, which is necessarily implied in the teleological conception of the universe. It no longer occurs to physicists, chemists, min eralogists, or astronomers, to seek to find in the phenomena which continually appear before them in their scientific domain the action of a Creator acting for a definite purpose. They universally, and without hesitation, look upon the phenomena which appear in their different departments of study as the necessary and invariable effects of physical and
