Questions about the earth's past geological history have sparked conflicting answers. How old is this earth? Did it evolve by chance? or was it created by God? Is our planet billions of years old? or was it an instantaneous creation of only a few thousand years ago?

There are four basic alternatives: the purely non-theistic evolutionary view, the theistic evolutionary view, the creationist view (young earth or flood geology), and the view explored in this Paper which argues for that particular form of catastrophism that sees a discontinity between our present world and "the world that then was" (2 Peter 3:6), which was disastrously overwhelmed and left a desolation as described in Genesis 1:2 and then reconstituted in Genesis 1:3-31.

From Anthropology comes evidence which clearly indicates that man's religious history has not been marked by a gradual purification of his faith from animism to polydemonism to polytheism and finally to a pure monotheism (as held by evolutionists), but by a trend in the opposite direction, representing rather degeneration than upward evolution. The second chapter is more philosophical in an attempt to discover why this is so: it is an exploration of ideas rather than facts, of implications of events rather than the events themselves.

It is assumed (by evolutionists) that similarity of structure is evidence of ancestry - this is Divergence. Yet the fact is that animals which are not related DO develop precisely similar structures. For similar needs and similar environmental pressures act upon living organisms so that they tend to converge in structural form. This is Convergence. This Paper presents a summary of the evidence from the fossil record and the living world, and then discusses the implications of this established fact upon the close interaction between form and function, and thus upon genetic relationships and therefore on man's origin.

This Paper provides information on observations in Nature where co-operation and even self-sacrifice are by no means uncommon among animals in the wild, both between members of a single species and between members of different species. Thus it is found that the un-fit, by Darwin's definition, do indeed very often survive. His view of Nature as a ruthless battleground is quite unrealistic.

While it seems obvious that man is essentially an animal, the differences are assumed to be accidental and quantitative only. But in truth the differences lie rather in the realm of quality than quantity, and taken together they constitute an absolute difference. Man differs from animals in so many subtle ways - anatomically, physiologically, psychologically, mentally, spiritually - that it no longer is really justified to classify him in the animal kingdom at all.

He is a creature unlike any other, not so much because he has certain faculties that are superior to theirs, but because he is capable of sin and of being redeemed; which no other animal is. His destiny is different: and his origin is different. Man is more than an animal by reason of his creation, yet less than an animal by reason of his Fall. He is, in fact, unique to which the term 'animal' is not really applicable at all.

This Paper is a study of man's assessment of himself apart from revelation, and the final chapter is a study from revelation of what God intended, of true Man as seen in the Person of Jesus Christ.
