1 Found PROOF!
1 was forced, on examination of the
facts, to realize the weakness in the
proof offered for evolution.
I
had to
realize that evolution is purely theory
- a belief - a faith, though its
zealous proponents push it onto the
world
as if
it were proveo fact!
1 found
PROOF
of the existence of
the Creator, God.
1
also found
PROOF
that the book called the Holy Bible is,
in fact, the very inspired revelation
from that all-intelligent, all-knowing
God of the vital, necessary, basic
knowledge and instruction, without
which man is unable to solve his prob–
lems, prevent his evils, or live in
PEACE,
happiness, universal prosperity
and abundant well-being here on earth.
Man is the crowning product of his
Maker. The Bible is our Maker's

Which God!
An atheist wrote me: ' 'We have the
history of many religions and many
gods. Which one of these gods do you
claim for
yottr
God - and
hotu do
yo11 know
that He exists ?"
That's a fair question. It deserves
an answer!
Yes, my friend,
1
have a God.
The gods of sorne nations have been
carved by men's hands out of wood,
stone,
oc
other physical materials. The
gods of sorne religions and individuals
have been carved out of human imagi–
nations and faulty human reasonings.
Sorne have worshipped the sun or
other inanimate objects of nature. All
these gods are merely the
ct-ealed
-
most of them formed and fashioned
by
man,
therefore inferior to man.
But He who did the
creating
-
He who brought everything that exists
into existence, including alL else falsely
called God - He who created all
matter, force and energy, who created
18
all natural laws and set them in
motion, who created
LIFE
and endowed
sorne of it with intelligence - He is
Goo! He is superior to all else that
is called "God." He, alone, is Goo!
CREATJON
IS THE
PROOF OF GOD!
But during the past two centuries
especially, there has developed among
God-rejecting men in the Occidental
world the mental disease of theopho–
bia. Two hundred years ago it ap–
peared under the popular catch-phrases
"deism" and "rationalism." Then it
masqueraded itself under the appealing
name "h igher criticism." This pseudo–
scholarship employed, as it advanced,
such attractive ti tles as "progress,"
"development," and "evolution." 1t has
appealed to the intellectual vanity of
a world groping in spiritual darkness
in an era of widespread diffusion of
knowledge.
Creation Without a Creator?
The theory of evolution provided
the atheist an explanation of a creation
without a Creator.
But this misguided "rationalism"
failed utterly to account for the
origins
of things and of life; and today the
more candid among geologists and
biologists confess that they do not
know
h()w
life could have evolved
from inanimate matter, through the
simple life forros to the complex,
interdependent species we see about us,
finally to man. Lamarck's theory of
"use and disuse," Darwin's "natural
selection," and other theories in tbeir
original forros, have now fallen by the
wayside, and "mutations" explain only
the presence of varieties less fit to
survive.
Now suppose we confine ourselves
to
facts!
What, then, has science actually
determined ?
Discovery and study of radioactivity
during the past century has indicated
that
there has been
110
past etemity of
matter!
Radioactivity is a process of
disintegration. In
1898
Mme. Curie
discovered the element radium. It was
discovered that radium, and the other
radioactive elements as we know now,
are continually giving off radiations.
Has Matter Always Existed?
So notice carefully wbat this
FACT
of science means:
Uranium is a radioactive element
heavier than radium. l t has an atomic
weight of
238.5.
In decomposing, it
gives off a belium atoro, weight 4,
repeated three times, and then the sub–
stance left is radium, atomic weight
about
226.4.
Radium, then, is simply
uranium after it has lost three helium
atoms. Then the disintegration con–
tinues in radium. And the final pro–
duct of this process of radioactive
disintegration is the element lead!
Now of course this process requíres
great periods of time. Tbe calculated
half-life of radium is
1590
years–
uranium much longer.
I
have seen the results of this dis–
integration of radium myself, in the
darkroom of an X-ray laboratory. A
tiny portion of radium was placed
near a small Jluorescent screen at the
far end of a hollow tube.
I
looked into
this tube through a magnifying glass
at the otber end. Under this magnifica–
tion what
I
saw appeared as a large,
vast, dark sky, with thousands of
shooting stars falling toward me from
all directions. Actually what
1
saw
striking the screen were the emanations
of tiny partides being emitted by the
radium, greatly magnified.
W hen Matter
Did
Not Exist
The uranium in existence today has
not been in existence long enough to
have run its course and disintegrated
into lead. To have
ALWAYS
existed,
without any definite time of
starting
in the past, this radioactive element
long ago would have run its course.
All radioactive elements would have
long ago disintegrated into stable end
products. Since these elements exist
only for a definite span of years, and
all the uranium, radium, thorium in
the world today have not yet existed
that many years, there was a time,
prior to the duration of this span in
