INTRODUCTORY 15 



remember, from their experiences in the structures from 

 which they came, and also from their experience in build- 

 ing similar structures in ages past. 



The instinctive emotional and reflex actions are gen- 

 erally those produced and directed by cells in other places 

 of the body and not in the brain. All these actions will 

 be considered and explained in the chapter on heredity. 



You have probably been wondering what I would have

 In the struggle between two battleships, the best fitted 

 for the struggle will generally win out. My contention is

 arrangement of matter. We shall find upon investigation 

 that natural selection and survival of the fittest are the 

 things that determine who shall live of two structures or 

 individuals contending for space and existence. In the 

 same manner, survival of the fittest is the thing which will 

 determine who shall be the ruler of the sea, the English 

 or the Germans, or whose factory shall survive in a town 

 where only one can exist. The theory of evolution pro- 

 pounded by Darwin and his followers does not account for 

 the existence of the German and English navies nor for 

 the existence of the factories, who struggle for existence, 

 one against the other. 



My contention is this, that these factories and navies 

 did not come to exist by chance. Some intelligent being 

 has caused their construction or existence. Who are the
