ABSTRACT
Of course, we all recognize the fact that the great point at issue is not the age of man: it is the origin of man. To a large extent the argument raging today over the antiquity of the species called man is so much dust in the air. The disciple and proponent of organic evolution realizes the impossibility of ever establishing his case in modern research, so he flees to the dim ages that are so far past no adequate check can ever be made on his so-called findings, and there in the mists of antiquity he postulates certain data that he claims demonstrates his contention of man’s evolution from an ape-like ancestor. For generations, literally, the various schools of evolution have been ardently engaged in an attempt to demonstrate their faith that man has been on the earth for literally millions of years; as they conceive the hope that thus they can disprove the account of special creation as found in the pages of the Bible. So the question of the antiquity of man, both as a true man and as an ape-like creature with a true ape ancestry is constantly agitated, that some small comfort might be given the devotees of delusion who have no scientific basis for their hope.
