A Story Outline of Evolution 



that of the method of reproduction. The Plan of Creation 

 now begins to demonstrate Its workings. The sexes came 

 Into noticeable being — male and female — positive and nega- 

 tive just like the positive and negative forces of electricity 

 as displayed In the electrons and protons. The plan of 

 Nature Is that there must be two parents to an offspring and 

 that the offspring Is neither like the father nor mother, but 

 possessing the attributes of both. In plant life, from the 

 Algae to the most highly developed plant, this process of 

 reproduction takes place In the plant through different mem- 

 bers of Its own body while In animal life this process Is the 

 result of the functions of different and separate bodies. 



In the earliest forms of life, the process of reproduction, 

 so far as we know, was simply one of splitting a living cell 

 into two living cells; whereas. In the early forms of plant life 

 a group of fully developed cells was developed ready to start 

 their process of development and reproduction at the same 

 time. This is also true of the lower order of animal life 

 where parental care cannot be had. These single cell plants 

 by the aid of different food, water and environments began 

 to form in groups and out of these, there came the earliest 

 forms of compound plant life such as fungus plants, mosses 

 and lichens and some of these In turn developed into ferns. 

 It is generally understood that the earliest life was created 

 In mud or water along the seashore and that the early plant 

 life was what we now know as water plants drinking in Its 

 food supply from the water, and the soft accumulated par- 

 ticles of matter. As the seashores changed, many of these 

 plants were left on dry land. Again it was the same problem
