2 6 THE THRESHOLD 



Evolution, which were de- 

 scribed in the third day of 

 Genesis. In the next, the 

 Fifth Day of Genesis, we com- 

 mence at the Fourth Day and 

 progress to the Seventh Day of 

 Evolution; therefore this day 

 also finishes with the mention 

 of the eve and dawn. 



The Fifth Day of Genesis. 

 And God said: Let the waters 

 bring forth abundantly the 

 moving creatures and fowls 

 that fly above the earth. 

 (NoTE : The first creation of 

 animal life above water was of 

 course fishes and reptiles, and 

 amphibia, the previous exist- 

 ences to animals, birds and 

 man, but it is probable that 

 those evolved from scaly fishes 

 produced mostly birds. Upon 

 the firmament of earth, and 

 great whales (the kingdom of 

 angels or mammoth animals 

 who were superior to man, but 

 which man wa&.to conquer when 

 he became a devil), and every 

 living creature that moveth 

 which the waters brought forth 

 abundantly. (The whale pro- 

 bably returned from the earth 

 to the sea, so this indicates the 

 fish stage of man and beasts 

 after their kind.) The laws of 

 descent are again marked as 

 the ruling and unvariable laws 

 of creation, and in this case 

 it marks in a special manner 

 their application to man, for 

 God then starts afresh.) 



OF EVOLUTION 



evolution of animal out of 

 plant life, which now evolves 

 the survival of the fittest, the 

 force that is to evolve man and 

 prepare the way for man's su- 

 premacy over all other Crea- 

 tions. But you must bear in 

 mind that in the high temper- 

 ature that then existed, the 

 most marvellous forms of 

 transition were possible ac- 

 cording to the various forms 

 of submarine growth to which 

 these little protozoa and varie- 

 ties of jelly fish imparted ani- 

 mal life and thus formed a 

 variety of animals according 

 to the submarine plant from 

 which it derived its life as sex 

 became a new attribute of ex- 

 istence on the Fifth Day. As 

 the earth further cooled belts 

 of dry land were formed round 

 the globe, and were submerged 

 or raised above the waters as 

 heat and cold produced life, 

 plant or body, as the cooling 

 or expansion of its matter re- 

 leases the electrons that give 

 life on the globe. At this 

 point it must be taken into 

 consideration that the highest 

 mountain of the world is 

 no more of a protuberance 

 above the earth's surface 

 than a split pea would be 

 if glued on a football. 

 Nevertheless, this extra en- 

 largement or contraction pro- 

 duces cold or heat which was 

 sufficient to cause a preponder-
