410 GENERAL BIOLOGY 



these three bends take place in the embryo. It is later that at least one, 

 and sometimes two, of the bends disappear. We must therefore assume 

 that frogs, chicks, lizards, etc., once walked erect like man, an assump- 

 tion that not even the most ardent defenders of the Haeckelian law will 

 admit. 



5. Comparative Physiology. 



Similarity of blood-composition in quite similar forms is to be ex- 

 plained again on the principle that all similar forms go through a similar 

 development, and that with similar food and temperature, the blood must 

 necessarily have to be quite similar because it must draw its component 

 substance from the same food material. 



6. Geographical Distribution. 



This, like Natural Selection, can only show why some organisms 

 survived. It throws no light on origins. It can show how parts of an 

 organism may be lost, but not how additional complexity has come. 



7. Natural Selection. 



This explains nothing of importance. It fails utterly to explain the 

 degeneration of useless organs, and why variations of great magnitude 

 do not occur more often, as well as why and how a simultaneous varia- 

 tion in different parts of the body takes place to improve a definite 

 organ. 



8. Psychology. 



All the evidence evolutionists adduce to prove their arguments is 

 invalid because they take only the physical side of the organism into 

 consideration, forgetting the most important part the mental. 



9. Logic. 



We have been reversing the order of things, by forgetting that if 

 a tiny cell or organism has the ability or potentiality of becoming a highly 

 complex animal, it must be much more complex than the later organism 

 into which it is to grow. For, surely the smaller an object may be, which 

 can contain all that it is later to become, the greater in complexity it 

 must be. And, if such a tiny object is so intensely complex, it could not 

 have suddenly sprung into existence without an intelligence of some kind 

 arranging it. 



10. Physics. 



The student of depth has been driven. into out and out skepticism of 

 anything being true in science, or has gone over entirely to mysticism, 

 because he cannot overcome the obstacle which the acceptance of the
