134 EVIDENCE OF DESIGN. 
the nourishing breast, the mind of man, etc.), but that he, 
in the execution of his plan, created successively as dis- 
tinct orders and species those things and beings which 
now exist as distinct orders and species, and many of 
which have become extinct. This is the Story of Cre- 
ation as given in Genesis: Each plant, each animal, cre- 
ated in its own place in the scale of living thing, but each 
created as a species,—‘‘after their kind,” the phrase re- 
peated after each creative act of the third, fifth, and sixth 
day, except with reference to man, who was not created 
as a “‘species’”’ but after the image of God. 
But the evidences of design are yet of a higher na- 
ture than we have so far considered. There is not only 
Creative Intelligence at work in the pollen of flowers, the 
breathing of sponges, and the eagle’s orb of vision; 
Mind dominates the universe as a whole. Everywhere 
there is law and periodic, rhythmical motion. The Lord, 
speaking to Job, refers to the “measures” of the earth, the 
“lines” which He has stretched upon it. He asks, con- 
cerning the heavenly bodies: “Canst thou bind the sweet 
influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? Or 
canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?” And Job 
answers: “I know that Thou canst do everything.” 
And so there is a Reign of Law in the dew on the 
grass (Job 38, 28), and in the revolutions of the heavenly 
bodies. The Universe is ruled by Mind. 
Professor Koelliker (Leipsic) says in his work 
“Ueber die Darwinsche Schoepfungstheorie”’ (1904): 
“The development theory of Darwin is not needed to 
enable us to understand the regular harmonious progress 
of the complete series of organic forms from the simpler 
to the more perfect. The existence of general laws of 
nature explains this harmony, even if we assume that all 
beings have arisen separately and independent of one
