The pages of this book are the product of years of study of a Bible-lover who has gone through the fiery furnace of skepticism and has come out firmly convinced of the scientific trustworthiness of the first chapter of the Book of Genesis. In this book are contained the conclusions of an examining and weighing of evidences and arguments for and against the theory of evolution which began when, as a young man in the University of Wisconsin, the author's Christian faith was almost destroyed by the wave of evolutionary philosophy and pseudo-science that has swept over the universities and colleges of our land. The incentive to write these pages was a desire to give to others the benefit of the author's personal experience. Having been fortunate or unfortunate enough to have been caught early in life in the maelstrom of religious uncertainty that catches so many in our day, due to the widespread discussion of evolution, and having been driven by a desire to know the truth, cost what it may, to follow every important evolutionary argument to its end, and then having finally concluded that nothing is so scientific as the Bible statement "after its kind," the author believed that a work on the subject of evolution by him might meet the needs of some others who were undergoing an experience like his.
