Abstract
ACCORDING to the author of this book, evolution by natural selection is a snare and a delusion. Wherefore, he comes forward to sweep away the whole fabric of evolution, and to show “that the condition of the earth and its inhabitants cannot be explained by the action of physical forces, independent of support and direction from an intelligent power.” His qualifications for this task may be judged from the avowal that, although he has studied the nature and habits of animals and plants for many years, he has never discovered evidence that conclusively indicated evolution.
