free to d iscuss t hese world conditions
and problems -
and the WAY to
world peace - w ith many heads of
governrnents around the world. Also,
I have been free to speak to rnany
mill ions, t hrough
The
PLAJN TRUTH
and over the air, pointing out freely
what is WRONG with the world -
what is the only possible CAUSE that
can bring world peace ( or peace
be–
tween índividuals or groups) - free
to tell the world
how
we ARE GOING
TO HAVE world peace.
YOU
who read this need to realize
the urgency and ext reme seriousness
of the present world situat ion! It is
ominously
possible
that the extinction
of human Jife on this earth could take
place in this decade!
Let's get straight to the crux o f this
terrifying number ooe world problem.
T he N urnber O oe
World Problem
If
we are to save humaoity alive, we
must learn WHY roan is as he is and
how he got this way - WHY man
seems always befuddled with uosolv–
able problems - WHY hwnanity is
harassed with so many EVILS and WHY
these evils are fast acceleratiog - WHY
rnan can Ay to the moon aod back,
but cao't live at peace w ith fellow
man here on earth.
W
e need to go all the way back.
Man's troubles, evils, and wars ex–
tend back to the beginoiog of history
-
oc
prior to
it.
To fiod the answer
we must go all the way back to pre–
history. Man did not come to be
flS
he
is,
just recently. We need to know how
humanity carne to be on this earth -
how earth itself carne to be. W e need
to find HOW, WHY, aod WHEN man
carne to be
as he
is !
As
1
said last rnonth, roen have
speculated through the rnillenniums
on this guestion of origins. Scientists
have devoted lifetimes to studying the
question. Many scholarly books have
been written - BUT NO ANSWERS –
NO SOLUTIONS FOR OUR DESPERATE
PROBLEM OF SURVIVAL! No explana–
tion of why man is as he is, helpless
to deal with his own problerns.
PLAIN
TRUTH Moy 1972
But the plain truth is that the most
scholarly researches have had nothing
more to go on thao baseless specu–
lation -
human guesses in total
absence of evidence or fact. The
scholarly books
nw.rt
start with state–
ments sucb as "we know nothing -
but meo of science give us some
guesses."
O ne of the scholarly works that has
won wide acceptance is H.
G.
WeJls'
011tiine of
Hi.rtory.
1
quoted from it
last rnonth, with quotes such as: "We
do not know how life began upon
the earth. Biologists . . . have rnade
guesses about these beginnings."
I
first read Wells'
Outline of His–
tory
many years ago. Ever since,
I
have wanted to write a parallel out–
line of history, presenting the other
side of this two-s:ded question of
origins.
For whi le the scien tists, historians
and scho la rs are forced to start witlt
admissions of ignorance about these
beginnings, they have exhibited an
equal lack of knowledge to account
for roan
as he
is
-
man with such
intellectual and techn ical abilities that
he not only can fly to the moon and
return, but also can produce the mod–
em cornputer and the most delicate
mechanisms . Yet he cannot solve h is
own personal, social, moral, and
ethical problems. He seems, now,
bent

DESTROYINC HIMSELF!
The Academic Freedom to
I nves tigate T his Two-sided
Question
When
I
began an in-depth study of
the creation-vs.-evolution questiou,
I
researched both sides.
I
delved into
the writings of Darwin and his charn–
pions, Haeckel and Huxley, and of
Lamarck before thern, as well as
Chamberlain, Vogt and others after
them. But also
1
opened rny rnind to
look into the Biblical claims for special
creation.
And there
I
found a total lack of
guesses, speculations, hypotheses and
theories .
I
found positive staternents.
And
I
found tbe only rational explana-
tion of WHY rnan is as he is, and how
he came to be that way - WHY there
is no peace, and what is the sure
CAUSE that would produce peace.
Like H .
G.
Wells'
Otttiine of His–
lory,
rnost of the scholarly works are
based sole ly on t he evol utionary
theory and a reject ion of revelation
as a source of basic k nowledge.
This has placed these scholarly gen–
tlemen in the posit ion of being utterly
SHUT OFF from all knowledge and
factual evidences of origins: of HOW
man carne to be on earth, of HOW life
began, of WHY man is as he is!
Thus of necessity they have had no
recourse but to use baseless IMAGINA–
TrON to speculate, guess, conjecture
and theorize as to what they in their
utter ignorance SUPPOSE
might
have
taken place.
But in the Bible are positive state–
rnents,
ciaimiltg
to come from the
Suprerne Being of total intell igence
and total power. Tbese positive state–
ments claim He brought all matter,
force and energy and all natural laws
into being. Evolutionists are forced to
begin their speculations with all these
having already been brought into
existence.
The Bible claims to explain HOW
man carne to be as he is - so seem–
ingly intelligent, yet so utterly help–
less before his own social, moral and
ethical problems.
Now we, ourselves, have two al–
ternatives . We rnay deliberately blind
our eyes aod shut out of entrance
into our minds these positive Biblical
clairns, and accept with the "educated"
majority the baseless irnaginations
and hwmnly devised theories of the
scholars,
OR
we rnay open our eyes to
read, and our m inds to weigh and
consider, these POSITIVE claims and
evidences for origins, for CAUSES of
conditions as they are, and for SOLU–
TJONS the Bible PROMISES shaU come.
So oow
I
propose to give you a
comparatively short-short condensation
of the Biblical revelation of origins,
and of the PURPOSE for which hurnan–
ity was put on earth, as well as the
