    The theory of evolution is an insult to the intelligence of men; and being a greater insult to Jehovah, it is here dismissed without discussion. Page 48 “Creation” 1927

    This book is not propaganda. It is no part of a propaganda scheme. Its pages contain facts of vital importance for the education of people. The reader is not asked nor expected to join anything. He is not asked for nor expected to contribute money. The facts are laid out before him to enable him to see God’s way, and therefore the only way, for man to obtain life everlasting on the earth…

    …This is not a religious book. It tears the mask from hypocracy, tradition and formalism, and sets before man the truth. When you read it you will be able to understand it, and you will be glad. - Page 9 preface to “Life” 1929

    I was looking for a quote from a book in this period that sarcastically describes the evolution process and ends in a monkey evolving into Charles Darwin. It's ludicrous. Anyone know which one this is from?

    It may come from the booklet dealing with Evolution which they produced in the 1950's, it had a cover illustration in full lurid colour,not all WT booklets had much colour in those days, and the cover was posh glossy paper.

    It looked a bit like a Sci-Fi comic.

    I cannot remember the title properly, but it may have been something like "Evolution versus Creation" ????

    Blondie? help?
