Questions Evolution Does Not Aiiswer 
i forward’ and ‘backward.’ . . . 
But this whole difficulty is escaped 
in the case of evolution, if we con¬ 
sent to view that process as it is, 
and do not, in our straining after 
the assessment of things as pro¬ 
gressive, hug to ourselves the mis¬ 
conception that evolution and prog¬ 
ress are synonymous.” (“The 
Evolution of Man,” pp. 126, 127.) 
Comparing all these views of evo¬ 
lution, some of which are radically 
different, held in more or less modi¬ 
fied forms by evolutionists in gen¬ 
eral, it is very evident that there 
is no “scientifically demonstrated” 
theory, nor even what might be 
called a consensus of scholarship, 
on so fundamental a principle as the 
derivation of life on the globe in its 
many complex forms from one or 
a few simple forms.
