It was a large open room. Directly

Readers’ Digest Reader
A. CRESSY MONISON
Former President of the
New York Academy of Sciences
We are still in the dawn of the
scientific age and every increase
of light reveals more brightly the
handiwork of an intelligent creator.
In the 90 years since Darwin we
have made stupendous discoveries;
with a spirit of scientific humility
and of faith grounded in knowledge
we are approaching even nearer to
an awareness of God.
For myself, I count two reas
ons for my faith:
First: By unwavering mathe
matical law we can prove that our
universe was designed and exe
cuted by a great engineering intel
ligence.
Suppose you put ten pennies,
marked from one to ten, into your
pocket and give them a good shuf

sequence from one to ten; of draw

to 100; of drawing one, two and
