YOU KNOW..
I'VE BEEN THINKING
A young skeptic said to an
elderly lady,”I once believed
that there was a God, but now
since studying philosophy and
evolution, I am convinced
that God is but an empty
word*”
"Well," said the lady, ”1 .
have not studied such things, '
but since you have, can you
tell me from Thence comes
this egg?” ’’"Jhy, of course,
from a hen,” was the reply.
’’And where does the hen come*
from?” ’’Why, from an eggZ”
Then the lady inquired,’’Which
existed first, the hen or the
egg?” ’’The hen, of course,”
rejoined the young man. ”0h, .
then, a hen must have existed
without having come from an
egg?” The young man hesitated
and answered, ”0h, no,I guess
I should have said that the
egg was first.”
The kind lady studied the
young scholar as she asked,
’’Then I suppose that you mean
that one egg existed without
having come from a hen?” The
young man was embarrassed as
he was without an answer,*and
was further reminded* ”The
great Creator that made the
Heaven and Earth made the
first hen or egg, and if you
will follow his commands that
are recorded in the ’’Book of
Books” you will have a ’’Peace
of Mind” that your theory of
©volution will not offer.”
Jx thought for the week:
Getting even with a $e|fson'
means putting yourself on his
level*
