Man And His Ancestor is a classic science history text by Charles Morris that examines the evolution of man. It would be difficult to find any intelligent person in this age of the world who has not some theory or opinion in regard to the origin of man, and perhaps almost as difficult to find any such person who can give a good and sufficient reason for the faith that is in him. This is especially the case with those who look upon man as a product of evolution, a natural outgrowth from the world of lower life, since here simple faith or ancient authority is not sufficient, as in the creation hypothesis, but scientific evidence and logical argument are necessary. It is to enable this class of readers to test the quality and sufficiency of their belief that this book has been prepared.

Is Atheism Dead? The Unbelieving Unbelievers Epidemic Is an inspirational Biblical approach to how God sees atheism. This book is part one of a four-part series as Charles has logically made his case that there are four classes of people in the world. The first is Unbelieving Unbelievers, which are those who embrace atheism. The other three include Believing Unbelievers, Unbelieving Believers, and Believing Believers. As we search, God has established His pattern for those seeking wisdom. False wisdom only brings insecurity leading to a graphic lake of fire. The atheists have the spirit of antichrist, yet in their foolishness are not afraid of the antichrist spirit. Atheism is an epidemic, growing with an estimated 500 million followers. Charles demonstrates his leadership by warning us what we can expect from Unbelieving Unbelievers and how they affect us. Charles' keen use of apologetics makes "Is Atheism Dead?" a must-read as we see these changing times leading us to the end of the ages.

It is unlikely that the calamity will ever be fully measured. When chaos strikes, all the normal avenues of existence are blocked, and the suffering of people becomes terrible. And when order is finally restored, many weeks, months, or even years later, the specifics of the catastrophe have combined into one incomprehensible mass of suffering. There hasn't been any natural violence since the western hemisphere was discovered that even comes close to the catastrophic intensity of what the Pacific coast experienced. The only other catastrophe even close to matching or exceeding it was the Civil War, which was caused by man's sinful desires driving him to kill his brother when Nature would have preferred he live in peace. The large city of San Francisco is the center of attention, but smaller places have also seen their share of devastation, terror, and suffering. Beyond their bounds, over a large region, the earth's trembling destroyed property, toppled homes, and reduced wealth to destitution. If we think about it, perhaps we can arrive at a useful estimation of our own relative insignificance. There are many ignoble aspects of human life, and the race is weak and insignificant in relation to the physical powers of the cosmos in an almost despicable way. It could be necessary for a Superior Power to intervene directly, even if it causes physical harm, in order to convince us to reassess our direction. The wisest men have been the ones who are most willing to acknowledge the benefits of suffering-based discipline.
