ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN

fact, world-renowned British writer and philosopher Malcolm Mug-
geridge, who was an atheist defending evolution for some 60 years,
but who subsequently realized the truth, reveals the position in
which the theory of evolution would find itself in the near future in
these terms:

I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the ex-
tent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the
history books in the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy
and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible
credulity that it has. 38
That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will soon see
that "chance" is not a deity, and will look back on the theory of evo-
lution as the worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the world.
That spell is already rapidly beginning to be lifted from the shoul-
ders of people all over the world. Many people who see its true face
are wondering with amazement how they could ever have been tak-
en in by it.
