birds were kepc in a place wirh no
nesc-building material available co
them. The fifch generacion had never
seen a nesc. Buc when nesr-building
materials, along with orher materials,
were made accessible, rhat fifth gener–
acion immediacely made nescs. And
chey were weaver-bird nesrs - noc
robins' nests or swallows' nesrs or
eagles' nescs.
Evolurion cannot accounr for che
facc thar animals are eguipped wirh
their marvelous instincr - yer wirh
coral absence ofMJND power. Nor can
ir accounc for che absence of such in–
srinct in MAN. Or, for rhe vasr gulf
berween the powers of animal brain
and human mind.
Mind Withouc Instincc
Man can design and build grear
dams such as che Grand Coulee. Man
can build greac runnels chrough
mounrains or under rivers, such as che
Hudson River. Man can invenr and
build auromobiles, aírplanes, barde–
ships, submarines. Man
a/.Qne.
of all
God creared, is capable of approach–
ing real crearive powers.
H ow Man H as Used His Powers
Look, however, ar whar man has
acrually
done
with rhe rhings he has
had che inrelligence and abiliry ro de–
vise and ro make.
Thousands of years ago he learned
ro mine and process iron, gold, cop–
per, and ocher merals. He made im–
plemenrs and construcred buildings
- bur he also made swords and
spears and weot ouc co
destroy!
Man learned how ro
organize
his
kind inco cicies, groups, narions. Bur
ro whac use did he
put
che organiza–
cien he conrrolled) He organized che
able-bodied of bis men inro armies
and ser our ro conguer, ro desrroy,
and ro acguire by
taking,
nor alone by
producing and crearing.
Man discovered rha r che powers he
possessed allowed him ro produce ex–
plosives, so chat he could move
mounrains if necessary - bur soon he
exerred rhe mosr frenzied energies of
his narions, ar coses of billions of do!-

lars, endeavoring ro develop nuclear
weapons fascer chan his enemies, and
now is producing weapons of mass
destruction that can blasr all human
Life off che earrh!
A philosophic counrry doctor once
said ro me
it
was his belief that every–
ching man's hand ever couched of
God's crearion man had polluced, be–
fo ul ed, besmirched, and ruined. T hac
scaremenr seemed radical chen. Bur I
have been observing, since he said
rhar over thirry-five years ago. and I
am a]most persuaded he was rigbt.
I need noc go further. Just look
abou r you and observe.
If
you are a
rhinker, you'l1 see how man, endowed
wirh a porrion of God's actual cre–
ative power - and rhe
on~y
being
which has ir - turns chis power of
devising, planning, invenring, and
producing inro desrrucrive channels.
Science Running Amuck?
Look ar rhe grear facrories of rhe
major industrial narions. Here hums
and roars rhe crearive acrivity of man–
kind. Man has made some slighr ap–
proach roward actual God powers and
God acriviry in his tremendous indus–
trial developmenr.
Bur rhere is one deadly fau lr wi rh
all
chis.
Man has learned ro exercise scien–
ri11c, inventive and mechanical powers
in excess of his deveiopment in abifity to
direct the product ofhis ejforts into right
and comtructi-ve channefs.'
Did God Make Man So
D esrrucrive?
Why did an all-wise Crearor pur
man on chis earth? Did rhe Crearor
design and make manas
he is-
wi rh
such rremendous inrellect and pow–
ers, yer so desrruccive, and so helpless
before all his problems?

Amazing indeed!

Creation Not Completecl
One of rhe very first rhings we
need ro realize, char has been utrerly
overlooked in che Bible, is this:
Adam's creation was
NOT COM–
PLETED!
The firsr chaprer of Genesis -
called rhe "crearion" chapter - ac–
rually does not record rhe compleced
crearion ac all! Man's creation
was not
j inished.

Read rhar amazing truch again! Be

What was creaced, as revealed in
Genesis
1,
was rhe PHYSICAL crearion
- rhe morral, physical roan and
woman - the physical material
with
which
tO
creare the SPIRITUAL CRE–
ATION!
The Bible plainly reveals chis, as
we shall see. Whar God accually is
crearing in rhe human family is che
CRO\XINING, SUPREME MASTERPIECE Of
ALL HlS WORKS OF CREATION! And
thac will be, when finished, millions
- yes BlLLIONS - of humans con–
verted intO perfect SPIRITUAL CHAR–

The spiritual creacion is sriU in
progress!
As covered above, God creared
Adam and Eve in God's own image,
after God's likeness. He created ani–
mal Jife, each animal afrer irs own
animal
kind.
But He creared man
after the Goo kind. Thar is, as ro

Man is Physical
In Genesis 2:7, ir is p lainly seared:
