Creation versus Evolution

Creation versus Evolution.—When ministers—who know little of science or revelation—are repudiating the Biblical idea of creation for Evolution, it is encouraging to find scientists who are defending not the Bible, but the principle for which the Bible stands. These remarks are called out by an article in the San Francisco Examiner of March 27, by Prof. E. L. Larkin, of Mt. Lowe Observatory, California. He declares that the "Creator created basic cell units for each plant, each animal. Thus if a fish appears, and another later of a little higher type, the fish lower did not merge or mutate or evolve into the higher. The higher was created as a cell. Trout may improve and evolve into a better and higher grade of fish, and so may men; but trout will be trout, and men men. No trace is had in nature where one cell 'turns into,' evolves, or appears as another. Creation reigns supreme." It does. It was the origin of the world; it is its only hope for the future. Creation was the origin of man; to be created anew in Christ Jesus is man's only hope; and resurrection power is creative power.
