The fossil record contains no trace of these preliminary stages in the development of many-celled organisms.

The chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply, at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy.

What is the ultimate solution to the origin of the Universe? The answers provided by the astronomers are disconcerting and remarkable. Most remarkable of all is the fact that in science, as in the Bible, the world begins with an act of creation.
