SYNOPSIS OF PART 1
y AsT MONTH we compared the rwo
L
possibilities of origins. Eirher
humanity was creaced by an in–
relligcnc and Almighry Crearor for a
definirc PURPOSE - or human lifc dc–
veloped by che process of evolucion.
We discovered rhar biologiscs and
proponents of rhc doctrine of evolu–
ríon fail ro show any definí re purposc
for che presence of rhc human family
on chis planee. Neichcr do rhey rell us
why man is
as he is
-
possessing awe–
some incellecruaJ powers, yec utterly
helplcss before che onslaught of
world problems.
Nor, for thar marree, have rhe
world's
religions
so far given any satis–
facrory explanarion.
We discovered char che book called
rhe Holy Bible claims ro be che reve–
larion of basic, necessary knowledge
for man. In rhe firsr rwo chaprers of
chis book. we discovered chac che Cre–
acor rclls us clearly and empharically
rhac man is neichcr an animal nor an
immorral soul and rhat man was
creared
tO
be governed by mind, nol
insrincr.
Wc discovered how che firsr
human beings madc the very first sci–
entific experimenr - rhey took ro
themselves che prerogarivcs of decid–
ing whar is GOOD, and whar is EVIL.

In so doing, they rejccred che God–

w
AY of God's spirirual Law,
which would have led ro a world of
peace, prosperiry and happiness. Thcy
rejecred rhc viral missing dimension
in human knowledge.
PART 11
T
IIERh IS much viral, basic and
imporranr knowledge BEYOND
TJIE
PO\XIERS
OF
MAN TO DIS·
COVER! Such imporrant knowlcdge as
whar man IS, WHY man is - WHY he
was pur on earrh and for what PUR·
POSE.
And if chere is PUR POSE, whar is
rhar purpose? And HOW may we at–
cain ie?
Whar is THE
W
AY ro PEACE? All
nations seek and srrivc for peace -
yec
nonc find it - rhcy have war!
Whac are che TRUE VALUES in life?
This world pursues che
1
ALSE!
Those are che mosr basic and im–
porranr rhings man needs
ro
KNO\X' .
Yer he may search for che answers in
vain.
He
can KNOW rhem ONLY
rhrough revelarion.
Such quesrions as: How che earch
carne ; when ir carne - how old ir is;
how old is human lifc upon ir - che
mysrcry of origins - absorb che rime,
thoughr, rcsearch and rhinking of sci–
entists, philosopbers, hisrorians - yec
rht:y can come up only wi rh
guesses,
theories, bypotheses-
bur NO PROOr- -
che definire knowledge they could
know ONLY by revelarion.
fn raking ro rhemselvcs rhc forbid–
den frui c, che firsc humans
took to
themselves
che dcterrninarion of whar
is
GOOD and whac is EVIL.

rcpcar -
in so doing,
chey
rejecred che facr rhar
God's living, inexorable spirirual Law
is
THE
WAYof GOOD - che CAUSE of
all GOOD - and ics cransgrcssion THE
WAY OF EVIL- the CAUSL ofaJJ evil.
Since rhey and humaniry in general
afcer rhem have raken
ro
themselves
che
dererminarion of whar is GOOD, rhey
of necessiry have followed TIIE WAY
concrary ro God's Law. Thcy have fol–
lowed che way rhat has produced all
rhe vasr mounrain of EVII.S rhar has
descended on chis
sick.
SICK world!
They made rhemselves comperirors
of che living Goo. That is why ir is
wrirren in Romans
8:7:
"The carnal
mind is enmit)' [hosrile] againsr God :
