NOT
EXIST!
Here we have definite scientific evi–
dence that MATTER
HAS
NOT ALWAYS
EXISTED. Here we have specili.c ele–
ments which once, long ago, did not
yet
exist. Then there carne a time
when these elements CAME· JNTO
EXISTENCE.
Evolution usually postulates that
things have always come abom
GRADUALLY, through the slow-moving
natural processes of the present. Try
to imagine, if you can,
something
coming into existence out of
1zothing
GRADUAL'-Y! Can your mind entertain
the idea?

think not. No,

think if you will
think reasonably you will recognizc
the need for a special and necessarily
instantaneous CREATION. Aod SOME
POWER
OC
SOMEONE had of necessity to
do the creating. There is a cause for
every effect. And in accepting that
inevitable FACT,
proved
by the find–
ings of science, of the existence of
that CREAT FIRST CAUSE,
yo11 have
accepted the
FACT
of the exiJtence and
preexistence of the Creator

Where Did LIFE Come From?
But how about the presence of
life?
How did life get here? Science has
learned many things about that, too.
The wisest of the ancients did not
know what science makes available
today. Thus it is demonstrated toclay
- despite all the speculations of the
agnostic or the investigations of micro–
biologists - that LIFE COMES ONLY
FROM LTFE, and that each
kind
repro–
duces
only after itJ kind
(Genesis
1:25).
The works of Tyndall and Louis
Pasteur, in the field of bacteria and
protozoa, demonstrated scienti.fically
once and for all in these more minute
fields what Redi first demonstrated
with larger organisms.
Al!
the advances of recent medica!
and surgical science in the treatment
and prevention of germ diseases are
based upon this great truth of the
law of Biogenesis - that LJFE can
come only from preexisting LIFE.
PLAIN
TRUTH
June
1972
No fact of science stands more
conclusively proved today. Life
CAN–
NOT come from dead matter. There
is not one shred of truth from science
to account for the presence of life
upon the earth by any means other
than a special creation by the great
original first Cause - God - Who
is life aod tbe fountain source of
all life! It is now absolutely certain,
according to aH that can be KNOWN
from miaobiology - according to
all that is rational - that it required
A
REAL CREATION to produce life
from the not living - organic from
inorganic matter.
Life On ly FROM Life
One cannot rationally deny the ex–
istence of
my
Goo, unless he can
demonstrate the origin of LIFE with–
out a Creator who, Hirnself,
iJ
Life!
The Creator, therefore, begins to be
revealed, by science and by reason, as
a LIVING God - a God in whom is
LJFE, and who alone has
imparted
life
to all that have it!
I
could go further, and show you
that what science has discovered about
the origio of laws also proves con–
clusively that "the works were finished
from the foundation of the world"
(Hebrews
4:3),
that the material
creation
is
a
compleled U'ork,
which
is not now going 011!
Next, then, let's examine whether
the great FTRST CAUSE is a Being of
intelligence, or merely a blind, dumb,
unintelligent FORCE.
ls Anything Superior to
Your Miod?
Look about you. You admit that
the transmission of knowledge to your
mind is limited to the channels of
your five senses.
So now
I
ask you, do you know of
anything that is superior to
yo11r mind?
Look at the planets coursing through
the
sky.
Behold, in all its splendor,
the entire cosmic universe, with its
stars, its nebulae and galaxies.
Yet they are inanimate. They have
no mind, no intelligence. They cannot
do wbat
yo1.1
can do - think, reason,
plan, and carry out plans according to
prívate volition and will.
The human mind can koow, think,
reason, plan, and carry out its plans
to execution. It can invent and pro–
duce instruments by which it may
acquire knowledge of the vast uní–
verse, or of thc minutest entity. By
developing spacecraft and computers,
man is able to send astronauts to the
moon and bring them back alive.
But there remains one thing no man
ever has been able to do. He cannot
build, make, produce, or create any–
thing that
is
superior to himself!
A man can take existing materials
and out of them build a house. An
automobile is almost a living thing,
but the intelligence and powers re–
quired to invent and produce it are
superior to the thing produced.
The Supreme l ntelligeoce
To suggest to
you
that anythiog
you could invent, make, build, or bring
into being could be superior in intelli–
gence and ability to
you
and
yo11r
mind
would certainly insult your in–
telligence !
Now let me
ask
you candidly,
do
)'Otl
ho11eJ1/y believe that any power
or f orce of leJS inlelligence than yo11r
mind prod11ced
YOU?
Jf
you do not believe in
my
God,
then you have only the alternative of
believing that something
less
than
your intelligence produced YOU -
that durnb, purposeless UNINTELLI–
GENCE brought into being your intelli–
gence! The only rational possibility is
to acknowledge that the very presence
of the human mind is PROOF that the
great First Cause is also the SuPREME
INTELLIGENCE, infioitely superior to
the abilities of mortal man!
Suppose YOU Were Creator?
Suppose that you could add to your
powers of reasoning, planniog, and
designiog, the actual CREATNE power,
so that you could project your will
anywhere to produce and bring into
being whatever your mind should plan
and desire. Then, suppose you under–
took the designing, aeating, fashion-
