The question is this -- Is man an ape or an angel? My Lord, I am on the side of the angels. I repudiate with indignation and abhorrence these new fanged theories.

God created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed, that is the meaning of evolution.

I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.

It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man.

The pre-human creature from which man evolved was unlike any other living thing in its malicious viciousness toward its own kind. Humanization was not a leap forward but a groping toward survival.

After listening to a lecture on evolution by a science professor, a student wrote a poem and titled it ''The Amazing Professor.'' The poem read: Once I was a tadpole when I began to begin. Then I was a frog with my tail tucked in. Next I was a monkey on a coconut tree. Now I am a doctor with a Ph.D.

Organic life, we are told, has developed gradually from the protozoon to the philosopher, and this development, we are assured, is indubitably an advance. Unfortunately it is the philosopher, not the protozoon, who gives us this assurance.

Evolution has developed man to such a high degree that he builds zoos to keep his ancestors in cages.

Two million years from now the scientists can start a row by claming that the creatures of that period descended from us.

Biologically the species is the accumulation of the experiments of all its successful individuals since the beginning.
