CHAPTER II.
WAS YOUR MOTHER A MONKEY?
In the previous chapter we saw the evidences of God's skill and wisdom in the adaptations of nature, fitting the organs of animals for hearing, walking, and eating, and especially in the structure of the human eye.
This has long been owned by candid minds as an unanswerable argument, demonstrating the being of God by the works of his hands.

But since that chapter was written a school of scientists has arisen, of whom Mr.
Darwin is at present the most popular, claiming to be able to show how all the species of living things can evolve, not only their eyes, but their legs and wings and lungs, and every part of them, from a little bit of primeval life stuff, called protoplasm, by the influence of Natural Selection.

Mr.Darwin owns that the formation of an eye is rather a tough job for a little pin point germ of protoplasm; but he has no doubt that it has been done, and he writes several books to show us how.

We propose to look into this self-evolving process, as he and his brother evolutionists describe their theory.
It is necessary, right here at the outset, to distinguish the theory of the evolutionists from the great fact of evolution.

Almighty God created the world, not only for his own pleasure, but also for his own glory, that men and angels might learn to know him by his works.
