ABSTRACT
My worthy opponent declares that if evolution is rejected, the only alternative is special creation by magic. He seems to think that by heaping ridicule on the idea of creation, he is establishing the evolutionary theory. I want, therefore, to make very clear that the form of the resolution, and also the time limits of the debate, forbid my examining the creation account. The question before us is evolution, and what I wish to emphasize, ladies and gentlemen, is that he has not met one of the arguments I have made against evolution, nor has he questioned one of the authorities I have cited. He could hardly do that, for they are all eminent evolutionists.
