Excerpt from Universal Evolution
Finality assumes that a personality, comprehensible to man, created the universe out of nothing. That is, everything is given. But there is no nothingness. Noth ing is a relative term. If one tfies to perceive, or con ceive nothing, he finds it impossible, because, in making the effort he, himself, is still existing, or he could not be perceiving it. If he could succeed in annihilating both himself and notself, then there would be no perception, nor conception of the fact. Therefore we use the word nothing to mean, there is always something. It is, there fore, not logical to think that anything was created out of nothing.

Excerpt from Universal Evolution
Schools of Philosophy. - During the last fifty years the theory of Evolution has produced a revolution in the thoughts of the civilized world. Scientists have generally adopted the theory, and at present, after years of analytic study of all its features, are dividing themselves into two, or more schools. But in all the divisions there seems to be no denial of the basic principle, but merely, as usual upon all theories, a division of men along the lines of materialism and idealism. The aspect, which such a theory presents to the brain, depends upon the organization of the brain. To those brains which, before the renaissance of the idea of evolution, were not wholly in accord with finality, the theory now presents a material aspect, - one that can be called mechanistic. On the contrary, to that brain which was thoroughly imbued with the old order of ideality, or mysticism, it would take the form of a creative principle, in some way guided by some power either abstract, or personal. There are many forms of these two schools of evolutionists. This is natural, because no two brains are alike in structure, and therefore are dissimilar in ideas. The mechanistic school is that of Darwin, Huxley, Haeckel, Carl Vogt, etc.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the theory of evolution, which posits that all living things share a common ancestry. Building upon extensive research, the author explores the progression from simple forms of life to complex organisms, tracing the development of life from inorganic matter through the diversification of species. The book examines the role of variation, inheritance, and natural selection in shaping the evolution of life forms. Furthermore, it explores the concept of "creative evolution," suggesting that evolution is an ongoing process driven by an inherent vital impetus. The author argues that environmental pressures, while playing a role, are not the sole drivers of evolution and that life possesses an intrinsic capacity for change and adaptation. The book emphasizes that the theory of evolution not only provides an explanation for the diversity of life but also underscores the interconnectedness of all living things.
