There is nothing in which all the atheistic evolutionists are more emphatic than in the exclusion of design from the universe.

All their arguments and sneers are leveled against the idea, that the adaptations of Nature were designed or intended by an intelligent mind; and the theory of evolution is welcomed chiefly because it enables them to give some account of the order of the world, without any acknowledgment of a providence guiding it to some end or purpose.

But yet all these same evolutionists proclaim progress as the great law of Nature, and expend themselves with wonderful eloquence in tracing the progress of nebulae into worlds, and of worms into men.
They glory in progress of the past, and prophesy progress in the future, apparently in the most childish unconsciousness, that the very idea of progress involves design, and that the fact of progress asserts providence.

Nor is there any escape by alleging necessity of Nature, which is merely endowing the designer of progress with omnipotence as well as omniscience.
The illogical character of the theory is still further manifested by the failure of its alleged facts to sustain the consequences deduced from them.

Suppose all the facts alleged by the atheistic evolutionists were granted, how would they do away with the evidence of the being and government of God?
as they loudly allege they do.
