The power effecting adjustments of means to ends A 

 self-conscious intelligence not one with His creatures, 

 but distinct from them This relation is creation The 

 term covers theories not different within the knowable 

 from evolution as contrasted with evolution, it implies a 

 beginning of the cosmos, also everywhere in it intelligent 

 purpose and intervention of divine power The question 

 of origins, within the cosmos, approached from opposite 

 -sides by the creationist and the evolutionist The former 

 begins with intelligence, the latter with the physical order 

 The creationist seeks the key to the problem in Thought 

 Existences differenced as new kinds are "special 

 creations " Evolutionist asks to see the process of their 

 coming to be new kinds The records do not furnish 

 materials Evolutionist unable to show how species have 

 originated Equally at fault with creationist The Crea- 

 tionist sees variety at beginning as well as now 

 Creationist doctrine does not necessitate the supposition 

 of a clearly denned and separate beginning of species a 

 first pair having no kinship with former living things He 

 -accepts the uniformity of nature The conception of the 

 -cosmic process involved in evolution cannot be definitely 

 represented in thought Three stages in the progress from 

 inorganic matter to organisms these passed through 

 every day through the power of life May have been so 

 at beginning by agency of the Author of life The evolu- 

 tionist compares the method in nature to the work of an 

 unskilful artificer succeeding through failure Creationist 

 free to hold that there have been beginnings within the 

 cosmos The unity is in God when unknowable power is 

 introduced to account for change it is in effect a ' ' special 

 -creation," . . . . . . . 226
