The missing link

ARTHUR DELAU

Do you feel comfortable about sharing common ancestry with the apes? What an unpromising origin for man!

Happily, our real existence is not dependent on any material origin, present or past. By contrast we learn from the Bible that man is Godlike: "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him."^{Gen. 1:27;}

People may be disinclined to accept such an elevated, spiritual explanation of man's origin and may ask for present evidence and proof of this biblical statement. In the quest for proof of a higher origin, we are looking for a link that seems to be missing from human existence—an unseen link to a heavenly Father.
