CREATOR COULD HAVE MADE, ETC. Ill 



of spontaneous generation has received a final coup 

 de grace' [stroke of mercy or death blow.] 



After describing the experiments of a number of 

 scientists the New International Encyclopedia, pub- 

 lished in 1905, (vol. 1, p. 463) says: 



"The result of these experiments and conclusions 

 is that the view that spontaneous generation takes 

 place at the present day, has been entirely discarded.' 



If there was ever any such thing as spontaneous 

 generation of animals and plants, from inorganic mat- 

 ter, why should it not continue to happen, down to 

 the present time? 



We are therefore compelled to believe that there 

 never was any such thing as spontaneous generation 

 from inorganic matters ; and we know that all the 

 men of the earth, acting in concert, could not produce 

 a single live worm ! 



Sec. 37. Proposition 4. Creator Gould 



Have Made a Million Animals or 



Plants as Well as One 



If it be admitted, as Darwin does, that the Crea- 

 tor made "one or a few" animals and plants, in the 

 beginning, we may well suppose that He could have 

 made a million, or a million of millions, as easily as 

 one.
