both the evolutionists and arid the exponent eats ent of ot the tho Genesis sial story of o era o atlon are r right right right-at at least partial partial- partially partially ly Sir Oliver Is s convinced that man descended descended or or ascended ascended- from tho the animal kingdom But Dut with every new scientific ery cry ery he ha is la struck afresh with the essential truth of ot the book ot at Genesis if It Genesis Is as a poetic description of ot the mystery of ot the creation ot of th universe NO NOT JUST MECHANISM I hoc fin no p people Ople troubled by thI ldOa of ot evolution not only In America but here Sir Oliver told the th writer The trouble Is s that the tho theory of Ot evolution has carried Its enthusiasts too far Car It has hu led some to exclude th Ih thu Idea of ot mind and purpose of ot tile the universe to replace It by me mt mechanism mechanism This philosophy was Vas wa Incon and It is 1 now das recognized as a x faulty account ot of the th uni ant universe universe verse The mistake If It it can be bethe bethe the theory of ot evolution forward In opposition to the tb idea of ot cre- cre ere called called a mistake lay Jay in jn putting atlon Instead of ot regarding It as aa ft 1 method ot of creation The old Idea of ot creation as a achIevement without intermediate ate steps or 01 th the extensive e lapse of time we w now see to b be ba
