 and the results of their work — Science. 



Science is merely classified knowledge — a catalogue of

 cannot know Evolution without knowing Nature and we

 story of Creation. 



Evolution's story cannot be told without an explanation 

 from the workshops of the scientists for they embrace its 

 all. It is the patient toil of these scientists that makes Evo- 

 lution's story complete. We go to the workshops of the 

 geologists and find them in the quarry, on mountain tops, in 

 canyons and river valleys, with pick and shovel, core-drill 

 and microscope. They tell us that the earth Is thousands of 

 millions of years old; that they have divided the age of the 

 earth into geological divisions; that the shortest period of
