INTRODUCTORY,

CREATION vs. EVOLUTION.

In the beginning of time, God made, out of nothing, this earth and all there is in it. He did it all in just six days. He also constructed out of nothing and within the six days, that immense orb, the sun, to shine on it by day, and all the stars, together with the moon, to shine upon it by night.

Now all this immense work was accomplished in about five working days. On the sixth day He went to work and made Adam out of the dust of the earth. He breathed the breath of life into him, and Adam became a living soul.

It was an after thought in God; but after looking upon Adam, and seeing his lonely condition, he concluded to take pity on him, and make him a wife. No sooner said than done. Adam was in a deep sleep, and one of his ribs extracted, and a beautiful woman sprang into existence. This was the crowning effort of his last sixth day's work, and God became very tired and went home to rest over Sunday.

Before God retired from his last day's labor, He took Adam and Eve into the Garden of Eden and gave them charge of it, but told them at the same time if they partook of a certain fruit growing upon a certain tree they would be like Him, Gods, knowing good from evil.

Eve being ambitious and, loving her husband, concluded to transform him into a God, and no sooner had God retired than she started for that beautiful forbidden tree and commenced to eat of its fruits.

In the morning when God returned to the garden he discovered that his children knew just as much as he did, and he felt a little worked up over it. However he concluded to

make the best of his mistake and immediately started a clothing establishment and taught them the tailor's trade.

After doing all this He retired into Heaven and has remained there ever since, with the exception of one or two occasions when he has returned to earth and made Himself known.

Moses is the only man that has ever seen God at any time, and he, if the account is true, only saw his hinder parts. Moses wrote the biblical account of God and his short week's work in building this earth, and all the heavenly bodies that float in space. The account that Moses gives us doesn't state the exact time that the Devil was made neither does he inform us just when God kicked him out of Heaven. But that he did pitch him over the walls of Heaven and landed him in hell is also asserted.

On one occasion the devil took it into his head to get even with God for pitching him out of Heaven, and hes ucceeded admirably well. One night when God was asleep and the keeper of the gate dozed off into a slumber, his Majesty, the Devil, collected together a small army of his followers and made a raid on Heaven, and demanded of God that He should give him more territory to operate in.

In this the Devil succeeded, and God was compelled, rather than to have a fight in heaven, to give him dominion over the earth, which he still holds to this day.

Now inasmuch as I have given you a short sketch of how God created this earth, man, etc., I will now endeavor to give you my ideas of how this earth as a planet came into exist

ence.

This earth was once in a gaseous state. It was thrown off from the sun in fine particles, and in the course of time the seeds took root and its formation commenced.

Matter is always in motion, either in solids or in fluids. Nature never gives herself time to rest, she knows no sleep, being always on the move. This earth got its formation by its rotary motion while in an ethereal state of existence. The hardening process commenced in its early days and kept on hardening until it took fire by passing through some meteoric belt. During the process of its burning and contracting it got its spheroidal shape.

It is now just as much a hollow globe as a round one, it can not be otherwise, for its regular motion has had the effect It to round it up on the inside as well as on the outside. being a hollow globe, makes it light and more bouyant,
