The Negro A Beast In The Image Of GOD

34 MAN, AND THE NEGRO.
But when compelled to allude to it from SLtiy cause,
they denounce it as a Semitic myth, a Hebrew leg-end,
or a Jewish tradition.
Further evidence of the antiquity of '*The Theory
of Descent," and of its prevalence in the days of
the Apostles, is shown by the great opposing declaration
of St. Paul that *'all flesh is not the same flesh;
but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of
beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds." A
careful comparison of this teaching
**The Theory of
with that of
Development" must convince us that
this inspired declaration was a blow aimed directly at
*'The Theory of Development," which teaches that
the most complex organism is
merely a development
from the most simple. Hence, *'all flesh" is akin.
What is most directly opposed to the inspired
declaration of the great apostle that '*all flesh is not
the same flesh?" Necessarily we must decide that it
is the theory that all flesh is the same flesh. What
theory is this? It is the theory which teaches that
animal life originated in the monera by * 'spontaneous
generation" out of simple compounds of carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen." And that from
this little monera, the lowest form of animal life, on
up to and including man, all flesh is the same. It is
the theory which teaches, in direct opposition to the
Bible, that man is
merely a highly developed species
of ape — the **human species"
— and that this ''human
species" of ape is divisible into "five races of men."
It is the Theory of Development.
