its relationship is to the Genesis of the Bible. 

 And if it should turn out that Creation is Evolution, 

 there will be no shock sustained by the venerable 

 beliefs of those who maintain that "the heavens 

 declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth 

 His handiwork." 



"His parent Hand 



From the mute shell-fish gasping on the shore 

 To men, to angels, to celestial minds, 

 For ever leads the generations on 

 To higher scenes of being ; while, supplied 

 From day to day with His enlivening breath, 

 Inferior orders in succession rise 

 To fill the void below."
