The unity of the human race is further proved by the fact that it
originated in one locality and not in many. The locality is the one
described by Moses. And the fact that Moses correctly located the
beginning of the race, when he himself had no personal knowledge,
proves that he was inspired and taught of God. He never could have
guessed the spot to which history and the migration of nations point,
and which the evolutionists themselves are obliged to concede.
The habitable countries of the world total 50,670,837 sq. mi. We are
making a generous estimate, when we suppose the garden of Eden to have
been 100 mi. wide and 125 mi. long,--12,500 sq. mi. There are 4005
such areas in the habitable globe. It is located in Mesopotamia on the
Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Maps of ancient nations show that mankind radiated from this
centre. The great nations of antiquity were clustered about it. The
beginning of the race after the flood was in the same general
locality.
Ridpath in his great history of the world, graphically shows the
migrations of races and nations. With this, even evolutionists
agree. They draw a line "according to Giddings," running through
western Asia, in the region of the garden of Eden. Since there are
4005 such areas in the habitable globe, Moses had only one chance out
of 4005 to guess the spot, if he had not been inspired of God. Anyone
guessing, might have located the origin of man in any of the countries
of Europe, Asia or Africa. This clearly demonstrates that God revealed
the truth to Moses, and that the story of creation is true and of
evolution false.
If evolution were true, there must have been, 6,000 years ago, many
heads to the race, in many places. It is incredible that there would
be but one spot where brutes became humans. There would be an
innumerable host of anthropoid brutes, in many parts of the world, in
all gradations. Who can believe that one species or one pair forged
ahead so far as to become human?
