Sir,-Your correspondent "Quote Fair" reproaches me concerning Le Conte. Nowhere in the Bible is there a reference to a 24 hour day in the first three days of Creation. In the great physical changes — vast upheavals, including volcanic, which closed the Palaeozoic, Mezoic and Cainozoic ages, when various creatures died. and were replaced
by others-it was not the most highly developed who survived but the lowest and humblest. Just when the evolutionist should need plenty of time for the fish to develop into the reptile, for example, there are vast physical upheavals, and volcanic eruptions. Then again, the gradual development of the human brain, ‘supposedly from the animal level, remains unproved, for the brain capacity of the Dawn man and other prehistoric skulls is little different from that of the modern average Englishman (according to Sir Arthur Keith).
SINCERE
