THE OEIGIN OF MAN 27 



when eyes were unknown — that is a necessary part of 

 the hypothesis. And since the eye is a universal pos- 

 session among living things the evolutionist guesses 

 that it came into being — not by design or by act of God 

 — but just happened, and how did it happen? I will 

 give you the guess — a piece of pigment, or, as some 

 say, a freckle appeared upon the skin of an animal that 

 had no eyes. This piece of pigment or freckle con- 

 verged the rays of the sun upon that spot and when the 

 little animal felt the heat on that spot it turned the spot 

 to the sun to get more heat. The increased heat irri- 

 tated the skin — so the evolutionists guess, and a nerve 

 came there and out of the nerve came the eye! Can 

 you beat it? But this only accounts for one eye ; there 

 must have been another piece of pigment or freckle 

 soon afterward and just in the right place in order to 

 give the animal two eyes. 



And, according to the evolutionist, there was a time 

 when animals had no legs, and so the leg came by acci- 

 dent. How? Well, the guess is that a little animal 

 without legs was wiggling along on its belly one day 

 when it discovered a wart — it just happened so — and 

 it was in the right place to be used to aid it in locomo- 

 tion; so, it came to depend upon the wart, and use 

 finally developed it into a leg. And then another wart 

 and another leg, at the proper time — by accident — and 

 accidentally in the proper place. Is it not astonishing 

 that any person intelligent enough to teach school" 

 would talk such tommyrot to students and look serious 

 while doing so? 



And yet I read only a few weeks ago, on page 124:
