CREATION BY EVOLUTION 



world, but have accepted blindly the doctrine of special crea- 

 tion fostered by equally unobservant ancient Hebrews, Baby- 

 lonians, and mediaeval priests? In this matter, however, 

 mere appeal to authority, either scientific or theologic, is 

 unnecessary. The innumerable unequivocal facts that have 

 convinced all competent biologists of the reality of the evolu- 

 tionary process are recorded in thousands of volumes, which 

 are open to the perusal of all who cannot find opportunity 

 to make independent observations of their own.

"The Anthropoid apes no doubt approach nearer to man in bodily struc- 

 ture than do any other animals; but when we consider the habits of ants, 

 their social organization, their large communities and elaborate habitations, 

 their roadways, their possession of domestic animals, and even, in some 

 cases, of slaves, it must be admitted that they have a fair claim to rank 

 next to man in the scale of intelligence." — Sir John Lubbock.
