WHY
WERE YOU BORN?
ls there
any
PURPOSE for human life? Does life,
after al/, hove real MEANING
you
hove never
realized? You need to know!
W
AS HUMANITY created and
put here
on the earth by an
intel ligenr ancl Almighty
Creator
for a dejinite
PURPOSE?
And
if so,
what
is rhat purpose - and
why
is humaniry so rorally unaware
of ir)
Or,
on rhe orher band, did human
life develop, over a period of millions
of years, from lower animal species,
by che process of evolution? D id we
humans come ro be formed and
shaped as we are purely by natural
causes and residenr forces?
These are che cwo possibilities of
origins. Today che theory of evolu–
tion has gained almosr universal ac–
ceptance in levels of higher learning.
Yer biologists ancl the proponents
of the evolurionary doccrine fail ro
show any clefinite purpose for che
presence of rhe human family on chis
planer. Neirher do rhey rell liS why
man is
as he is.
Man possesses SliCh
awesome inrellecrual and prodllction
powers rhar he can
fly
to rhe moon
and rerurn safely, bu t at rhe same
rime he is urterly helpless before the
onslaughr of chis world's problems,
sufferings and evils. For rhac matter,
neirher has religion shown man his
rrue purpose in life.
Ir has suddenly become imperative

rhar we fi nd rhe answer. Suddenly
humaniry's number one problem has
become che quesrion of suRv rVAL.
And time is fasr running out on
us.
Why rhese mounring, fasr-accel–
eracing EVILS?
Neicher che evolutionary biologisrs
nor che world's religions have so far
given any explanation. They offer no
solutions. They give us NO HOPE!
Question of Survival
We are now in a head-on confron–
tarion wirh chis frighrening facc: any
one of several heads of narions could
plunge rhis world inro the nuclear
World War III char could erase all
human life from rhe earrb

Has man progressed ro the point
where he is abour ro desrroy himself?
Is
that
che end of rhe cvolutionary
line? Ts
that
che rnanner in which sci–
encc and rcchnology are about to
adrninisrer rbc dcarh-blow ro all tbe
world's religions?
fs ir possible rhere may cxist a

ognized new lighr on this life-and–
death qucstion?
[s ir evcn possible rhere exisrs

and che pcacc of rhc world, wirhin

and tradicional Cbrisrianity?
If so, wirh che imminenr possi–
biliry of rhe oblirerarion of humaniry
and with rime running out, rhere is
no time ro be lose in searching it

In rhis crisis hour of human exis–
rence, no apology is offered for tum–
ing the spotlight onto rhe truly star–
tling revelation thac has been rejecred
by science and higher education, and
rhese vital porrions overlooked by re–

The book caUed che Holy Bible ir–
