generic distinction between man and the brute creation." (P.F. 149.)]

was the original mode of obtaining fire, but if so it must have required
a good deal of intelligence and observation, for the discovery is by no

physical development of the individual man and from the origin and
growth" [as though he had explained their origin] "of all the faculties
which specially distinguish him from the brute creation, ... all point to
the conclusion that he is the product of evolution." (M.S. 210.) "Man
... whose higher faculties of intelligence and morality are _so clearly_
... the products of evolution and education." (M.S. 182.)]

land at this particular spot must have sunk twenty feet, and again risen
as much so as to bring the floor of the temple to its present position,
&c. Similar proofs may be multiplied to any extent.... In fact the more
we study geology the more we are impressed with the fact that the normal
states of the earth is and always has been one of incessant changes."

given the time. Laing says: Therefore, since they have given these
effects, we must suppose the time.]
