This volume, Volume IV, discusses Origins, particularly that of the earth, of monotheism, and of Man himself.
Four alternative views for the age of the earth are presented with one being discussed in depth (“The Preparation of the Earth Before Man”).
Two Papers show that the scientific evidence does not support the evolutionary view in the matter of the origin of religion (“Primitive Monotheism and the Origin of Polytheism”) and in the origin of Man (“Convergence and the Origin of Man”).
One Paper (“The Survival of the UN-fit”) demonstrates the irrationality of the evolutionary faith in the ‘survival of the fittest’.
The final Paper, “Is Man an Animal?” shows that we are not merely quantitatively different from animals as evolution depicts, but are qualitatively different. The human species was created to allow God, our Creator, to take on flesh as Jesus Christ. This Incarnation demanded a uniqueness in the constitution of the human body which puts our species in a category by itself completely separate from all other animal forms.
