Questions Evolution Does Not Answer 
crucial questions relating to the 
origin of life on the earth.’’ (Lull, 
“Evolution of the Earth,” p. 107.) 
And Professor Lull, of Yale Uni¬ 
versity, says: “The first great crisis 
in the evolution of organic beings 
was the origin of life; the marvel¬ 
ously subtle combinations attained 
by certain very familiar inorganic 
elements increasing their molecular 
complexity until a substance was 
produced endowed with the attri¬ 
butes of life. Of this momentous 
event we have no record.” (Lull, 
“Evolution of the Earth,” p. 112.) 
Clearly, then, evolution gives us 
no explanation of the origin of life. 
It is thus forced to postulate the 
existence of living matter endowed 
with that power of hereditary 
transmission and with that ten¬ 
dency to vary found in all such 
matter. (Huxley, “Anatomy of 
Invertebrated Animals,” p. 41.)
