Sec. 50. Objection to this Theory of Special Creation
I admit that there are serious objections to my theory of special creation. But like objections may be brought against any other theory. For example, many serious objections have been brought against Darwin’s theory of organic evolution. Yet a majority of all the scientists believe it is true.
In his “Man’s Place in Nature” (p. 149), Huxley says:
“Our acceptance of the Darwinian hypothesis must be provisional so long as one link in the chain of evidence is wanting: and so long as all animals and plants certainly produced by selective breeding from a common stock are fertile, and their progeny are fertile with one another, that link will be wanting.”
This link is still missing and probably will be forever.
Although there are serious objections to my theory, yet there is none so serious as there are to the alternative theory that dead atoms and blind, unthinking cells do spontaneously and automatically group themselves into the chemical combinations and mechanical arrangements, which are necessary to produce the human body; and that this body becomes, spontaneously and automatically, a live human being with intellect, memory and will.
