Conditions in nature are such that some animals and plants thrive while others do not; indeed, some even die. A common expression is that nature selects some to live and discards others. Something of the sort does take place; but the result is far from that which evolutionists have alleged; indeed, it is diametrically opposite, Instead of producing new and improved types, leading for instance to the gradual development of man from a single cell like the amoeba,natural selection brings about the discarding of accidental cripples and abnormal individuals, thus maintaining a standard.
