CHAPTER 1
THE MIGRANTS
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." (Genesis
1:1-2).
In the beginning, the Earth was a comet. After it had gathered enough cosmic debris it became a planet, a new
world. For untold ages this satellite of the Sun was a molten mass of fire. Meteorites from outer space
bombarded the whirling sphere, great clouds arose. Finally, the great blanket of clouds condensed and it
rained incessantly; the "cooling off" process had begun. Life first appeared on Earth when it was still boiling
and seething with chemical turbulence in the air and in the hot seas. Some time during this period a synthesis
occurred, and there was the first movement of life in some unknown spot of the Earth's vast seas. A
microscopic glob of transparent jelly, flagellate. These multiplied and spread through the seas, where
evolution was to start and eventually produce the indigenous life forms of the planet Earth. New types of
half-plant, half-animal creatures began to inhabit the waters of the Earth. Hard parts, protective shells, plates
and skins appeared and the continuous fossil record began.
The Earth planet, now cooled and teeming with mineral, vegetable, and animal life, was ready at last to
receive human life. On another planetary system spiritual life migrated through interstellar space and began to
struggle independently with the problems of Earth planet environment. At that moment the Word was made
Flesh and Man in his present form . . . WAS!
"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto
them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all
which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet
his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became
mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the
Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of
the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." (Genesis 6:1-7).
So we come to the place where man appears on the planet Earth. The human race in its present pattern has
been upon this planet anywhere between seventeen million and ten million years. For centuries scientists have
pondered the question: "How did life in the human form make its advent upon Earth?" The famous Missing
Link between the Anthropoid Apes and Man will never be found because the link is a spiritual and not an
organic link. A great migration of souls known as the "Sons of God" arrived on Earth when the evolution of
its indigenous life was progressing and incarnated in certain animal forms. This caused the basic difference
between the human and other mammal forms. The primate species went on living and breeding as a true
species, giving us the monkeys, apes, and gorillas of today. But the ape-forms that were borrowed for
incarnation by the spirit-souls arriving from outer space, apparently supplied the original expressions of the
human. These forms continued to breed and develop, and gradually sublimated the ape-forms into the races of
man as society now recognizes them.
The scientist of today can be an atheist or a devout man, for he can fit the evolutionary theory into his own
concepts nicely. He can either believe that God brought certain chemical substances together when the first
single-celled life appeared in our warm seas, or he can believe that the happening was purely accidental.
