4 THE ORIGIN OF MAN 



us see just what is meant by the above. To be 

 brief let us say that in the first day God made 

 the waters and light. And in the second day He 

 made the firmament which He called Heaven. 



The above is very true according to the theo- 

 logical point of view, but let us create this uni- 

 verse as science has created it. As the theological 

 and scientific theories, as to creation of the uni- 

 verse differ greatly, and as it is not my object in 

 the present treatise to present both sides of the 

 question, let us take the scientific point of view 

 as it serves my purpose better. 



All matter in this universe is composed or made 

 up of small 4 particles called atoms ( from the 

 Greek words meaning not cut or divided). A 

 piece of wood, a piece of coal or a piece of iron is 

 composed of small particles held together by mu- 

 tual attraction. The atoms of wood, coal and 

 iron are not all the same, but the atoms of wood 

 are all alike, the atoms of coal are all alike, and 

 the atoms of iron are all alike.
