And last of ail, man. His place at the top of the pyramid of creatioir is the same in both Genesis and geology, the difference being that Genesis compresses into six hundred words what science expands into hundreds of volumes, and Genesis has a reason for man’s creation and a goal for his life, while science throws up its hands with the blank admission, “We do not know”.' So we have man and woman launched forth upon a brand-new planet. Science locates the begin nings of human life in the fertile and fragrant valley of the Eu phrates. Genesis is more specific, naming the beautiful spot the “Garden cf Eden”, and identifying any fruit except that one partic ular tree. They ate the forbidden fruit and when God discovei them in their transgression Adi took refuge behind Eve. “The woman thou gavest to be with me”, he complained, “she gave me of the tree, and I did eat”. A cowardly excuse which profited him nothing. For their sin they wore cast out, and the Garden was closed to them. No longer could they have food without effort. k Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life: Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; . . In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, an^i unto dust shalt thou return.
