ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE 121
of a million members making the same change? Ans.
1 raised to the millionth power; or 1 preceded by 999,999
decimal ciphers; or a common fraction with 1 as a num-
erator and a million figures as a denominator; or 1 chance
out of a number expressed by 1,000,000 figures, which
would fill 3 volumes like this book. Such changes were
absolutely impossible, but necessary for evolution.
24. If the scattered remains of the pithecanthropus
were found in the sand only 40 ft. below the surface, and
the rate of accumulation were no greater than the slow
accretions that buried the mountain city of Jerusalem 20
feet deep in 1900 years, what would be the extreme age
of these remains? Ans. 3800 years, instead of 750,000
years.
25. If the Heidelberg jaw was found in sand 69
ft. deep, what would be its maximum age, estimated in
the same way? Ans. 6555 years instead of 375,000.
Who believes that sand in a river valley would accumu-
late no more rapidly than dust on the mountains? Or
that it took 750,000 or even 375,000 years to cover with
sand these precious remains such a shallow depth? A
few centuries at most would account for such a depth.
Can there be any doubt that these were abnormal bones
of historic man and brute?
26. Did any other false theory that ever posed as
science, have less to support its claims than evolution?
27. Believing that a Christian should give to the
Lord all above his necessities, none of the profits on this
book will be retained by the publisher, but all will be
donated to missions, to be perpetually loaned to churches,
and to preach the gospel through the secular newspapers
of the world, and to aid in the free distribution of this book
as explained on pages 116 and 117. How many churches
will every $1000 together with the compound interest there-
on, help to build in 300 years, if the average loan to each
church is $1000 for 5 years at 5%? Ans. 8,229,024;
and the new principal will then be $2,273,528,000.
28. How could $1000 be given to do more good than
for these three purposes?
29. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain
the whole world and lose his own soul ?”
30. What shall it profit a man, if he wins great fame
as a scientist, persuades a great multitude to accept evolu-
tion, infidelity and atheism, and leads a great company
