eternity where it is hard to pursue him, and to check up on his
guesses. He answers that changes are so slow, and take so many
millions of years, that they can not tell of a single new species in
the last 6,000 years, when over 2,000 are required.

He appeals to Geology, which is history down to historic time,
expecting to take advantage of the ignorance of the careless student.

But Geology will not aid him to prove his reckless theory. Even Darwin
complained that the evidences from Geology were scanty. Geology
testifies: The genera and species of fossil animals are as distinct as
those now living; new species appear at certain epochs entirely
different from those which preceded; often the most perfect specimens
of a new species appear at the beginning of a geologic period rather
than at its close, leaving no room for evolution; no species is shown
changing into another; and many species are largest at the
beginning. As Geology is brought in as a hopeful witness by
evolutionists, they are bound by a well-known principle of law, to
accept the statements of their own witness even though fatal to their
theory.

For them, Geology furnishes sorry evidence concerning the evolution of
man from the brute. The great scheme of evolution claims as its chief
support four geologic "finds." We can not be certain that any one of
these has the slightest evidential value. An ardent evolutionist, Dr.
Dubois, found a few bones, part ape, part human, buried in the river
_sands_, 40 feet deep. They were scattered 50 feet apart, no two
joined together. They called this strange creature pithecanthropus,
and fixed its age at 750,000 years; others reduced it to 375,000
years. These few bones are no doubt from a modern ape and modern man.
