376. How was it Done?

We are told that God made man; and the question naturally arises, how

was this done? Was it by a process of "evolution," "development;" the

"transmission of acquired habits;" the "survival of the fittest," or was

the necessary amount of clay kneaded to the proper consistency, and then

by the hands of God moulded into form? Modern science tells that man has

been evolved, through countless epochs, from the lower forms; that he

is the result of almost an infinite number of actions, reactions,

experiences, states, forms, wants and adaptations.
