"The lower impulses of vegetable life pass, by insensible gradations,
into the instinct of animals and the higher intelligence of man,"
without purpose or design. None of these three hypotheses can admit
the creation of man.

4. Other evolutionists, believing in the evolution of both plants and
animals, nevertheless refuse to believe in the evolution of man--the
most baneful application of the whole theory. Even if there were
convincing proof of the evolution of plants and animals from one germ,
there is no real proof of the evolution of man. To prove this is the
chief purpose of this book.

5. A fifth theory of evolution is held by many. It is called
polyphyletic evolution, which means that God created numerous stocks,
or beginnings of both plant and animal life, which were subject to
change and growth, deterioration and development, according to his
plan and purpose. So much of evolution in this sense as can be proved,
is in harmony with the Bible account of the creation of plants,
animals and man. The false theory of evolution is called the
monophyletic, which teaches that all species of plants and animals
including man, developed from one cell or germ which came by creation
or spontaneous generation. Evolution is used throughout this book in
this latter sense, unless otherwise indicated by the context. God does
not create by evolution, for it can only develop what already exists.

This book is divided into three parts: In Part One, material
evolution, especially the evolution of the human body, is
disproved. In Part Two, the alleged proofs of evolution are examined
and refuted. In Part Three, the evolution of the soul is shown to be
impossible.
