Disturbed by the ease with

; an American scientist,hr# A#Cress\
i Morrison, wrcto a book, .Man Does
Not Stand Alone# It was published in the
Reader1s Digest and reached millions wit!
its challenging message of respect for
the power of the Almighty# Here are some
excerpts;
"The slant of the earth, tilted at an
angle of twenty-three degrees, gives ns
our sea sons 5 i f it had not been so tilt
ed, six vapors from the ocean would move
north and south, piling up, , continents
of ice,
"If our moon was, say, only fifty thou
sand miles away instead of its actual
distance, our tides would be so enormous
that twice a day all continents would he
submerged, • •
"If the crust of the earth had been
only ton foot thicker, there would be no
oxygen, without which animal life must
die. Had the ocean boon a few feet deep
er, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have
been absorbed and no vegetable life .coulc
e xist,"
Continued next column.,,.
Then Dr. Morrison concludes: "By un
wavering mathematical law we can prove
our universe was designed and executed
by a great engineering intelligence."
"For from the creation of the world
His invisible attributes are plainly
observable, being perceived through
created things." (llomand 1:20)
