31050 | Are they not just the kind of characters that would be expected in an immature, aquatic embolomere of Pennsylvanian time? |
31050 | Is it possible that the"primitive"and"specialized"features of this animal are actually larval? |

2628 | Are they, as the healthy common sense of the ancient Greeks appears to have led them to assume without hesitation, the remains of animals and plants? |
2629 | But if what lies below the horse''s"knee"thus corresponds to the middle finger in ourselves, what has become of the four other fingers or digits? |
2629 | Did things so happen or did they not? |
2629 | What has become of the bones of all these animals? |
2629 | What we desire to know is, is it a fact that evolution took place? |

34056 | We naturally ask, What kind of biped could this have been? |
2633 | In what other way than by such an appeal to their experience could he so surely awaken in his audience the tragic pity and terror? |
2633 | What, then, could be more natural than that a Chaldaean poet should seek for the incidents of a great catastrophe among such phenomena? |
2627 | ''Which way did he go? 2627 ''Young man,''cried the eunuch,''have you seen the Queen''s dog?'' |
2627 | Where is he?'' |
2630 | And what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |
2630 | Understood? |
2630 | By whom? |
2630 | Has any one ever disputed the contention, thus solemnly enunciated, that the doctrine of evolution was not invented the day before yesterday? |
2630 | Has any one ever dreamed of claiming it as a modern innovation? |
2630 | Vertebrate_ land_-population( Amphibia, Reptilia[?]). |

14279 | Was it fitted to live exclusively in water? |
14279 | What was its usual diet? |
14279 | What, then, is the principle upon which this sequence is based? |
14279 | Why, for example, are the Sponges placed below the Corals; these below the Sea- urchins; and these, again, below the Shell- fish? |

2631 | But what is the good of it all in the face of Leviticus on the one hand and of palaeontology on the other? |
2631 | I am really grieved to be obliged to say that this third( or is it fourth?) |
2631 | It may be so, or it may not be so; but where is the evidence which would justify any one in making a positive assertion on the subject? |
38013 | _ And Sultan after Sultan with his Pomp Abode his destined Hour and went his way._It is often asked"why do animals become extinct?" |
38013 | And if a blow from an irate ostrich is sufficient to fell a man, what must have been the kicking power of an able- bodied Moa? |
38013 | Did they devour everything large enough to be eaten throughout their habitat, and then fall to eating one another? |
38013 | How much of what we term intelligence could such a creature possess-- what was the extent of its reasoning powers? |
38013 | If, it was said, these animals have been spared, why not others? |
38013 | Other footprints there are in this prison- yard; the great round"spoor"of the mammoth, the hoofs of a deer, and the paws of a wolf(? |
38013 | The question is often asked-- How long ago did this or that animal live? |
38013 | This may take the form of a wish to know how a millionaire made his first ten cents, or it may lead to the questions-- What is the oldest animal? |
38013 | WHY DO ANIMALS BECOME EXTINCT? |
38013 | What do we find among Dinosaurs? |
38013 | Why not a legendary bison that has increased with years of story- telling? |

38013 | and, What did this, our primeval and many- times- removed ancestor, look like? |
38013 | or, What is the first known member of the great group of backboned animals at whose head man has placed himself? |
2632 | And, in matter of fact, can the record with due regard to legitimate historical criticism, be pronounced true? |
2632 | But have we a right to do so? |
2632 | But what is the meaning of this expression? |
2632 | How could its subsistence, by any possibility, be an affair of weeks and months? |
2632 | If Jonah''s three days''residence in the whale is not an"admitted reality,"how could it"warrant belief"in the"coming resurrection?" |
2632 | If divine authority is not here claimed for the twenty- fourth verse of the second chapter of Genesis, what is the value of language? |
2632 | If no Flood swept the careless people away, how is the warning of more worth than the cry of"Wolf"when there is no wolf? |
2632 | Is there any known historical work which is throughout exactly true, or is there not? |
2632 | When Jesus spoke, as of a matter of fact, that"the Flood came and destroyed them all,"did he believe that the Deluge really took place, or not? |
2632 | Why not? |
2634 | 23)--is not this Deity conceived as manlike in form? |
2634 | 27 David says to Zadok the priest,"Art thou not a seer?" |
2634 | And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up? |
2634 | And Samuel said, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing that Jahveh is departed from thee and is become thine adversary? |
2634 | But to Saul nothing is visible, for he asks,"What seest thou?" |
2634 | Can any other conclusion be drawn from the history of Abraham and Isaac? |
2634 | Does Abraham exhibit any indication of surprise when he receives the astounding order to sacrifice his son? |
2634 | Does not the action of Saul, on a famous occasion, involve exactly the same theological presuppositions? |
2634 | Does this mean that Seth resembled Adam only in a spiritual and figurative sense? |
2634 | He next asked him how he knew it was the spirit of Toogoo Ahoo? |
2634 | Laban indignantly demands of his son- in- law,"Wherefore hast thou stolen my Elohim?" |
2634 | Or of Micah''s inquiry,"Will Jahveh be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?" |
2634 | Saul goes to this woman, who, after being assured of immunity, asks,"Whom shall I bring up to thee?" |
2634 | Still the spectre remains invisible to Saul, for he asks,"What form is he of?" |
2634 | Then said Saul to his servant, But behold if we go, what shall we bring the man? |
2634 | What have we? |
2634 | Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh, thy Elohim, giveth thee to possess?" |
2634 | [ Footnote 22: Compare:"And Samuel said unto Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me?" |
1043 | Are we evolving to- day? |
1043 | But how can we see any trace of an Annelid ancestor in the vastly different frames of these animals which are said to descend from it? |
1043 | But what higher types of life issued from the womb of nature after so long and painful a travail? |
1043 | Can we suggest any reasons why brain should be especially developed in the apes, and more particularly still in the ancestors of man? |
1043 | Do they point downward to lower forms, and upward to higher forms, as the theory of evolution requires? |
1043 | Do we find a similar destruction of life, and selection of higher types, after the Pleistocene perturbation? |
1043 | Do we find them at work in the Pleistocene? |
1043 | Have we not said that nothing remains of the procession of organisms during half the earth''s story but a shapeless seam of carbon or limestone? |
1043 | How did these civilisations develop in Asia, and how is it that they have remained stagnant for ages, while Europe advanced? |
1043 | How much advance should we allow for these seven or fourteen million years of swarming life and changing environments? |
1043 | How, then, do we account for the wings of the insect? |
1043 | If humanity shared at first a common patrimony, why have the savages remained savages, and the barbarians barbaric? |
1043 | If man is a progressive animal, why has the progress been confined to some of the race? |
1043 | In particular, had it any appreciable effect upon the human species? |
1043 | Is man the last word of evolution? |
1043 | Must every step of future progress be won by fresh and sustained struggle? |
1043 | Or ought we to regard this change of structure as brought about by a few abrupt and considerable variations on the part of the young? |
1043 | The more important question is: How do astronomers conceive the condensation of this mixed mass of cosmic dust? |
1043 | Was it not a singular coincidence that in ALL cases the intermediate organisms between one type and another should have wholly escaped preservation? |
1043 | Was the eye shifted by the effort and straining of the fish, inherited and increased slightly in each generation? |
1043 | What came before the star? |
1043 | What is the meaning of stars whose light ebbs and flows in periods of from a few to several hundred days? |
1043 | What is the origin of the great gaseous nebulae? |
1043 | What is the origin of the triple or quadruple star? |
1043 | What is their relation to the stars? |
1043 | What was the origin of the fish? |
1043 | Whence came the new race and its culture? |
1043 | Why has progress been incarnated so exceptionally in the white section of the race, the Europeans? |
1043 | Why should Europe and North America in particular suffer so markedly from a general thinning of the atmosphere? |
33925 | After all these changes do you not want to know what happened next? |
33925 | And how was it made? |
33925 | Are shells in the sea being covered up with clay,--with mud,--and more shellfish living on the top of that; and then, are they, too, being covered up? |
33925 | As before, what is happening to- day? |
33925 | But how have these great masses of flints been swept along? |
33925 | But where did the silica come from? |
33925 | Can the land have been down under the sea; and have sea waves washed the stones along? |
33925 | Does sand on a sea shore ever become hard like rock, so that shells buried in it are found afterwards in hard rock? |
33925 | For what does it tell us? |
33925 | How are they there? |
33925 | How did they get there? |
33925 | How do these beds rise up again, so that we find them with their sea shells in the quarry? |
33925 | How do we know this? |
33925 | How do we know this? |
33925 | How? |
33925 | If it goes on long enough--? |
33925 | Is limestone being made anywhere to- day, and are shells being shut up in it? |
33925 | Now what is the chalk? |
33925 | Now, do we anywhere to- day find these tiny shells in such masses as to build up rocks? |
33925 | Now, have we any deposits formed at that time in the Isle of Wight? |
33925 | So that in years to come they will be found in layers of clay and stone like those we have been looking at in quarry and sea cliff? |
33925 | The Upper Crioceras Group( 46 ft.), like the Lower, contains bands of Crioceras? |
33925 | Then where were they formed? |
33925 | Were there no birds? |
33925 | What about the clays and the limestone? |
33925 | What becomes of all the mud the streams and rivers are carrying down into the sea? |
33925 | What immense rush of water can have spread these flints 30 feet deep along a river valley? |
33925 | What is the meaning of this extension of the alluvium away from the course of the river out to the sea at Sandown? |
33925 | What kind of animals? |
33925 | What kind of trees grew in the country the river came from? |
33925 | What was the country like south of this? |
33925 | Where did the mud come from? |
33925 | [ Illustration:_ Photo by J. Milman Brown, Shanklin._] CULVER CLIFFS-- HIGHLY INCLINED CHALK STRATA Now, what are flints, and how were they formed? |
42584 | A fish or a lizard? |
42584 | Again, did certain long- legged Dinosaurs eventually give rise by evolution to the running birds, ostriches, emeus, etc.? |
42584 | And do we not now know that there are hundreds of them found fossil up and down the world? |
42584 | Another question naturally suggests itself: Were they viviparous, or did they lay eggs like crocodiles? |
42584 | But the reader inquires,"What is the nature of these creatures thus left stranded a thousand miles from either ocean? |
42584 | He concludes with the question,''To which of the recognised classes of created beings can this huge rover of the ocean be referred?'' |
42584 | He says,"Did not learned men too hold, till within the last twenty- five years, that a flying dragon was an impossible monster? |
42584 | How came they in the limestone of Kansas, and were they denizens of land?" |
42584 | How did they get drowned? |
42584 | How, then, could it reach or pick up anything lying on the ground? |
42584 | No reptiles of the present day are capable of masticating their food; how, then, could he venture to assign it to a reptile? |
42584 | Shall we call this earth- drama a tragedy or a comedy? |
42584 | The question therefore arises-- Was this tortoise a creature of the imagination, or was the idea of it drawn from a living reality? |
42584 | Then why not sea- serpents? |
42584 | This elaborate apparatus must have been of some special use; the question is-- What service or services did it perform? |
42584 | Was there ever an age of dragons? |
42584 | We can, however, well imagine some of our readers asking,"Can these dry bones live?" |
42584 | Were they nocturnal in their habits, wandering about by night, and taking their rest by day? |
42584 | Were they related to ancient crocodiles? |
42584 | What better lesson could the master have given the pupil to help him to remember his"Law of Correlation"? |
42584 | What, then, was the consequence? |
42584 | Who shall ever see them lit up with the same unmitigated enthusiasm again? |
42584 | Would it not be an advantage for them to have the power of seeing their finny prey whether near or far? |
42584 | those represented by crocodiles, lizards, snakes, and turtles?" |
42584 | weight in some three or four months? |
39674 | And what became of the pig? |
39674 | Have you seen any Cheyennes hereabouts, gentlemen? 39674 How dare you deface one of nature''s castles with a patent name?" |
39674 | Out from Hays, sirs? |
39674 | --Indian and short for"How are you?" |
39674 | Again Buffalo Bill lifted his voice in the solitude, and again came an answer, this time in a form of query,"Is it developed, my boy? |
39674 | And why? |
39674 | But the reader inquires, What is the nature of these creatures thus left stranded a thousand miles from either ocean? |
39674 | But where was the doctor? |
39674 | Did you tell me by the old tune? |
39674 | Does it look like one? |
39674 | Does the sight appall and bring him to his senses? |
39674 | Echo answered,"Where?" |
39674 | How came they in the limestones of Kansas, and were they denizens of land or sea? |
39674 | In the presence of such heroism, what right had we, though bruised and tired, to complain? |
39674 | Is it impossible that vessels plowed this ancient ocean with a speed which would have left our Cunarders out of sight? |
39674 | Is the theory true that germs fall down to us from other planets? |
39674 | Lot''s wife, you remember, looked back,( What woman could ever refrain?) |
39674 | Mr. Colon, who had given a startled turn of the head over his right shoulder, exclaimed,"Bless me, what''s that?" |
39674 | No struggle was visible where he fell, and it is probable that they approached him with a treacherous"How, how?" |
39674 | On the plains the first question asked is,"Are they friends or foes?" |
39674 | Or that we gazed anxiously at the huge chief as he sat, silent and motionless, awaiting the approach of our guide? |
39674 | Or, do not the plains offer a strong argument on behalf of spontaneous generation? |
39674 | SHOULD THERE NOT BE COMPULSORY EMIGRATION? |
39674 | The cunning savage, seeing his foe prepared, approaches with signs of friendship, and cries of"How, how?" |
39674 | Was it impossible, we mused, that ancient mariners, with whole cargoes of bells, went down on this inland sea centuries before Rome howled? |
39674 | Was there ever another so big a bison? |
39674 | We heard the chief''s loud"How, how?" |
39674 | What if the bottom grass was full of creeping savages? |
39674 | What say you?" |
39674 | What would be thought of a hunter, in any of the Western States, who shot quails and chickens and left them where they fell? |
39674 | Why not desert the city and lose yourself for awhile in this great grand waste? |
39674 | Why should not the great public share in it also? |
39674 | Would he have fired? |
39674 | You did, eh? |

42741 | To what is this related, with reference to conditions of existence? |
42741 | Was the length of the Mesozoic time equal to that of the Palæozoic? |
42741 | We have to ask, What is gravitation itself, unless a mode of action of Almighty power? |
42741 | Were there no herbs or trees to drink in the rains and flourish in the sunshine? |
42741 | Were there no land animals to prowl along the low tidal flats in search of food? |
42741 | Were they enormous birds? |
42741 | Were they the first- born of land snails? |
42741 | What can be more widely contrasted then a newly- born child and the small gelatinous spherule constituting the human ovum? |
42741 | What does he give us in exchange? |
42741 | What if there were still earlier plants, whose remains are still to be discovered? |
42741 | What inhabitants have these forests? |
42741 | What is implied in the idea of creation? |
42741 | What is implied in the idea of evolution as applied to man? |
42741 | What is the actual fact with regard to these animals, so confidently affirmed to resemble some not very remote ancestors of ours? |
42741 | What mere animal ever had or could attain to such an experience? |
42741 | What then are these oldest rocks deposited by the sea-- the first- born of the reign of the waters? |
42741 | What were these portentous creatures-- bird, beast, or reptile? |
42741 | What, then, is the actual statement of the theory of creation as it may be held by a modern man of science? |
42741 | Who that saw them trodden under foot lay the reptile aristocracy of the Mesozoic could have divined their destiny? |
42741 | Why, then, are so many men of science disposed to ignore altogether this view of the matter? |
42741 | Would it not be absolutely impossible that man should have originated in such a country? |
42741 | Yet why should these tyrants of creation so utterly disappear without waiting for us to make war on them? |
42741 | and if so, of what possible use would it be in the struggle of a merely physical existence? |
42741 | and what is the unknown third term which must have been the means of setting up these relations? |
42741 | has not the history of the earth displayed a gradually increasing elevation and complexity? |

42043 | [ 51] But what would be the result if we only extend this idea to its logical conclusion? 42043 = These things must be first explained.= Has anything happened to our world that will explain them? 42043 = We call it creation.= Can any one find a better name? 42043 According to Dana, all these must have met with aspeedy burial after death"--perhaps before, who knows? |
42043 | Accordingly I ask,= How much time is needed= to account for the facts before us on the basis of Uniformity? |
42043 | And= if one example, why not a million=? |
42043 | As has been said, How could the origin of nature be contrary to nature? |
42043 | But I ask: What kind of organic remains will we get from these modern deposits? |
42043 | But how did they come to shift to the Tropics so many millions of years before the palms, etc., of the Tertiaries thought it time to do the same? |
42043 | But if this be granted, we must then inquire, What was its nature? |
42043 | But let us take some of the"late"Tertiary and Pleistocene mammals, which can not be distinguished from living species, and how do we fare? |
42043 | But what other class of the animal kingdom will not point us a similar lesson? |
42043 | But where have these fellows kept themselves during all the intervening ages while the continents were deep under the ocean time and time again? |
42043 | But whither shall we turn to avoid finding similar phenomena? |
42043 | But why should it be necessary for us to positively settle the question as to just how far back in geological time Man actually did live? |
42043 | CHAPTER V TURNED UPSIDE DOWN How many of us have ever seen a mountain fall? |
42043 | Did the elements continue in the_ status quo_ all these uncounted millions of years? |
42043 | Do we understand all natural processes? |
42043 | Does it come of good stock, or is its family low and not very respectable? |
42043 | Does memory guide these little things in their wonderful division of labor? |
42043 | Have we already a sufficiently broad knowledge of the rocks of the world to decide such a question? |
42043 | How can it be improved? |
42043 | How could the origin of present forms and conditions be in any way at variance with the laws by which these forms or conditions are maintained? |
42043 | How could this bone breccia have been accumulated?... |
42043 | I should think so; but then what becomes of this doctrine of uniformity? |
42043 | If I am now asked: What do the rocks have to tell us, in view of the fact that they refuse to testify to a life succession? |
42043 | If, as this illustrious author says,"The seas had not been depopulated,"what would he have us think they were doing? |
42043 | In common honesty will a short eternity itself satisfy the stern problem before us? |
42043 | Is it possible that all the plants and animals of the Tertiaries and the Pleistocene may have really lived together in the same world after all? |
42043 | Our first and most natural inquiry is, What is it that leads scientists to think so? |
42043 | The climate had not changed a bit: how did they come to scent the coming"Glacial Age"so much earlier than their more highly organized fellows? |
42043 | This fault has a vertical displacement of more than 15,000 feet(? |

42043 | What has Geology to do with all this? |
42043 | What has been its surroundings? |
42043 | What is its family history? |
42043 | What is there to hinder us from believing that they all lived there together in that olden time? |
42043 | What is your opinion of Part I as an exposure of the Evolution| Theory? |
42043 | What kind of evidence can it be? |
42043 | Where then can we find a stratified or bedded structure now being formed over the ocean bottom? |
42043 | Who has not read of their untainted meat now making food for dogs and wolves? |
42043 | Why did the crinoids and polyp- corals suspend business from"Jurassic times"to the"recent,"merely to accommodate a modern theory? |
42043 | Why did they form no deposits during the Cretaceous, Eocene, Miocene or Pliocene ages? |
42043 | Why does the one build up claws and the other brain cells? |
42043 | Will some one please give us a reasonable explanation of why the lion, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and elephant shifted from England to the tropics? |
42043 | Would it not be economy of energy to correlate the two together? |
42043 | Would the production of a few billion such beginnings of protoplasm be any less''natural''than of one alone? |
42043 | and if so, how did they receive notice that the Triassic period was at last ended, and that it was time for them to begin work again? |
42043 | and what its extent? |
42043 | or why are not the rocks containing their fossils as"recent"as any deposits on the globe? |

38015 | For what can be the reason if the sun draws no copper from copper veins, that it draws silver from silver veins, and gold from gold veins? |
38015 | For who, unless he be naturally malevolent and envious, will hate the man who gains wealth as it were from heaven? |
38015 | Further, when gold coins are assayed in the fire, of what use are they afterward? |
38015 | Furthermore, hunting, fowling, and fishing supply man with food, but when the stag has been ensnared does not the hunter transfix him with his spear? |

38015 | Iamque aggressus opus, uiden''ut mouet omne quod obstat, Assidua ut uersat strenuus arma manu? |
38015 | In short, to whom are the metals not of use? |
38015 | In truth, if there is a bad use made of them, should they on that account be rightly called evils? |
38015 | Is it true that because these philosophers despised money, all others declined wealth in cattle? |
