The Error of the Evolution
                                                 of Species


                          Vertebrates, mollusks, arthropods, crustaceans and

                       dozens of other plant and animal groups play an important
                       role in the ecological balance in the seas, forests and land.
                       Were any of these to be absent, the processing of dead or-
                       ganisms into new sources of food would be interrupted, the
                       soil would become unproductive, the food chain would be
                       damaged. Habitats would disappear and as a result, all ani-
                       mals, plants and humans would disappear from the face of

                       the Earth.
                          We could cite more examples, but the lesson is always
                       the same: Humanity could not survive in the absence of oth-
                       er living things. Plants, animals, fungi and bacteria—in
                       short, all the millions of living species—are at the service of
                       human beings. In the face of this miraculous state of affairs,
                       a number of questions spring to mind:
                          How did the unimaginable variety of life on Earth come
                                                 into being?

                                                      How did these living
                                                    things that enchant our souls
