the 1,804,187,000, or 29,559,799,808,000; or computed at the Jewish
rate of net increase for 7333 years since Adam, the population would
have been still greater, or 35,184,372,088,832. These calculations are
in perfect accord with the Scripture story of the special creation of
man, and the destruction of the race by a flood. Had it not been for
the flood, the earth could not have sustained the descendants of
Adam. Is not this a demonstration, decisive and final?



2. THE UNITY OF LANGUAGES


The unity of the languages of the world proves the recent common
origin of man. Prof. Max Muller, and other renowned linguists,
declared that all languages are derived from one. This is abundantly
proven by the similarity of roots and words, the grammatical
construction and accidents, the correspondence in the order of their
alphabets, etc. The words for father and mother similar in form, for
example, are found in many languages in all the five great groups, the
Aryan, the Semitic, the Hamitic the Turanian and Chinese groups,
showing a common original language and proving the early existence of
the home and civilization. The similarity of these and many other
words in all of the great Aryan or Indo-European family of languages,
spoken in all continents is common knowledge. Lord Avebury names 85
Hamitic languages in Africa in which the names of father and mother
are similar; 29 non-Aryan languages in Asia and Europe, including
Turkish, Thibetan, and many of the Turanian and Chinese groups; 5 in
New Zealand and other Islands; 8 in Australia; and 20 spoken by
American Indians. The French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are
