"A cartoon once pictured a couple of moneky's in a tree with one of them nursing a baby. The caption under the cartoon had mama moneky saying to papa monkey: 'Thank goodness he's normal I was afraid of evolution.'"1
William Howells of the University of Wisconsin is typical of the strictly Darwinian evolutionists and in the book, "Mankind so Far", he writes: "Evolution is a fact, like digestion." To this the author of the text makes this staement, "What an in excusable overstatement that is. The process of digestion is verifiable. It is subject to scrutiny; it is observable, it is demonstrable, it is within the area of scientific investigation and substantiation."2
Professor Edwin Conklin, again in answer to this type of philosophy, writes for the Readers digest: “The probability of life beginning from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a factory.”3 Professor Conklin is a Princeton University Biologist.
“By far the majority of college trained men and women have been taught to accept evolution as a demonstrated fact of science and it is being taught increasingly in the high schools and often the grade schools of the country.”4
This obviously shows the existence of a conflict between those who believe in what is termed special creation and what is termed evolution. Though there is no real conflict between science and the scriptures, for they are in perfect agreement as to where this world came from and where people are going.
