The Method of Argument
~ 91 ~
Then what are those arguments in favour of organic
evolution, which have led scholars of this modern
age to proclaim the ‘truth’ of this concept? Here, I
shall deal with some of their basic aspects.
1. The study of animal life shows that there are
inferior and superior species. These range
from single-cell life forms to those with
billions of cells. They differ too qualitatively,
in terms of their abilities.
2. When this initial observation is correlated
with the fossils preserved in the various
layers of the earth’s crust, it becomes
apparent that an evolutionary order exists
which correspond to the point in time at
which they appeared on earth. The fossils of
life forms that inhabited the earth millions of
years ago, although buried in the earth, are
still traceable. These reveal that in far distant
ages, the animal species living on earth were
very simple, but gradually evolved into
more complex and developed forms. This
means that all of the present forms of life did
not come into existence at one point of time;
