Evolution’s Missing Evidence
By T.
Every little while we are treated to some new 'evidence' that man developed up from lower forms through the monkey. But why is it that there are not some stray fragments to be found in the woods somewhere of some of this development now? Why do we not find some animals that are somewhere between the monkey and the man? Why is it that illustrations found on the oldest Egyptian monuments show that there has been no development in race characteristics during the time of authentic history? If that evolutionist development theory had the least semblance of truth in it, there ought to be a regular series of creatures on earth in all the stages of development from the tadpole to the monkey, and from the monkey to the man. When men will quit dreaming about what might have happened millions of years ago, and think about actual fact, they will more likely arrive at the conclusion that the monkeys have descended from the man instead of the man coming up from the monkey. There was a good reason on the part of the Jehovah of the Bible for putting those stringent laws into the Mosaic code against the cohabiting of men and beasts. God would not have made laws against such heathen customs unless the heathen were practising those things, and unless there was the further danger that the custom would be brought among the Hebrew nation. The argument that such crosses between men and beast could not propagate themselves is not sound, for the reason that the race is degenerating physically, and what is true of the weakened animal nature of to-day would not necessarily have been true of the stronger men and animals that existed just after the Flood. It is hard to think that the infinite Creator, who has shown His love for the beautiful in all that He has made, would have created man, His masterpiece, and then cartooned this man by creating the monkey in all its varieties. We know that God did not create sin, but sin is here just the same. And it does not seem difficult to grasp the thought that sin, and not evolution, is responsible for the monkey. T.
