had simply AS–
SUMED, because of Sunday school
upbringing, that God exists. Now
it appeared evident, IF evolution be
true, the existence of God was a
myth. 1 had to be sure. 1 could no
longer carelessly assume.
On the one hand studies in evolu–
tion shook my faith in God and the
Bible. But in studying H.G. Wells'
book
The Outline of History,
I
no–
ticed such statements in accepting
the evolutionary theory as, "Scien–
tific men have discussed the possi–
bility of life ... but they point
merely to questionable possibili–
ties." "They consider" thus and so.
"Astronomers give us convincing
reasons for supposing...." "We do
not know how life began upon the
earth." " Probably the earliest forms
of life were... ." "They must have
appeared...." "Speculations about
geologic time vary enormously...."
"The first jelly-like beginnings of
life must have perished. ..."
I
was amazed! Mr. Wells and the
scientists did not seem to be SURE!
Then l looked into the Bible,
discredited as it is by those who
believe what they may suppose,
what they do not know, what may
well have been, etc. And in the
Bibl e
I
found definite, positive
statements expressed as in AU–
THORITY. For example, in Genesis
1:1, " l n the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth" (Re–
vised Authorized Version). No
"may have created," or " We do not
know how the earth carne." No
"We may well suppose." No theo–
ries. Just the authoritative positive
statement, "God created . ... "
Then verse 3: "And God said, Let
there be light: and there was light"
(AV). Not "perhaps," not "We
may well suppose," but " ... there
was light." A definite, positive
statement of AUTHORITY. AJI the
way through the Bible
I
found it to
be POSITIYE, definite, authoritative!
The Bible claims to be the SURE
Word of God.
It
is not unsure! l t
is not speculative.
Then in its chapter of origins, in
Genesis, it explains definitely with
authority how man originated, how

and escalating evils. Evolution has
no explanation and no solution to

Evolution gives no explanation of
why humans exist on earth-of the
present paradox of mounting evi ls

Here is a book- the Holy Bible-

Most fundamentalist believers
assume,
on sheer faith,

that the Holy Bible
is the very Word of God.
Very few people have stopped to
prove whether or not the Bible is
really the inspired Word of God.
Very few people TREMBLE before
what it says or regard it as having
