experience, but such observations have been made
as help us to make a logical inference of the truth of
the supposition, or, in other words, to verify the
truth of the hypothesis.
The advocates of the theory of evolution have not

instance, they cannot show in a laboratory how
inanimate matter can give birth to life. The only
basis they have for their claim is that the physical
record shows that inanimate matter existed before
life came into the universe. From this they infer that
life came out of inanimate matter, just as a baby
