21 — EVOLUTION OF MAN

By Editor

In the theory of the evolutionist, how does he account for the non-extinction of the particular protoplasm that man is supposed to have evolved from? Does he state why we do not continue to evolve, as do the frog, the mosquito, the moth, etc.?

The theory of the evolutionist is that after a while, these various species which evolved from the lower orders became fixed. Of course that must be his theory, because he finds no such variations or transmigrations now. He finds no link between the fish and the bird. He has not found the link between man and the monkey. We do not know that he would hold that that particular protoplasm exists now. In fact it is impossible for us to tell just what all the theories of the evolutionist are. It is a great deal simpler and a great deal more reasonable for us to believe the simple record God has given us in Genesis than to attempt to believe the changing, shifting theory of evolution. Certainly within the knowledge of man, we find that God's law "after his kind" remains unbroken. The evolutions of the frog, the mosquito, the moth, etc., are developments. They are not the changing of one species into another.
