Inorganic Matter. 155 



intelligent Power, then it is equally mysterious and 

 incomprehensible whether we contemplate the existing 

 order as science knows it, or posit in a distant past a 

 universe of moving atoms having in them, or in the 

 forces operating through them, the origin of all know- 

 able existences and the law in accordance with which 

 all things as we know them act. 



The evolutionist fails to unify the concrete existences 

 lying under view in the field of inorganic matter. His 

 dynamic principle is fruitless in the region of inquiry 

 where dynamic law is supreme. Even in pure physics 

 evolutionism is silent in face of every fundamental 

 question. The veil is not taken away.
