unchanged ape are abundant. But the alleged human remains are scanty
and uncertain.' Now if there were millions and billions of human
beings developing from the brutes, should we not expect as many
remains as of horses and mammoths and apes? We do not have millions of
them, simply because they did not exist. Is not this well nigh a
demonstration?

Shall we, upon this scant and uncertain evidence, accept a theory that
shocks the reason and the moral sense of mankind, and which leads
naturally to infidelity and atheism, and takes away even our hope of
immortality? Later in this volume we will consider more fully the
alleged proofs from these geologic "finds."

Prof. Charles Lyell said: "In the year 1806, the French Institute
enumerated not less than 80 geological theories which were hostile to
the Scriptures; but not one of these theories is held today."

Many have come to the hasty conclusion that there was a continuous
elaboration or a progressive growth among all species. True in some
cases, but by no means universal. Many species have remained stable
for millions of years; many have retrograded and deteriorated. Indeed,
some evolutionists claim man has retrograded.

Many species of animals have been larger than their modern
descendants. Many species show no change. All the bacilli remain the
same microscopic species, even those too microscopic to be seen or
isolated. They multiply the same, and produce the same diseases. How
can there be growth in the microscopic world either animal or
vegetable? The doctrine that there is a development and a growth
among all species of animals or plants, is contradicted by the
