Summary "Smithson's Theory of Special Creation" by Noble Smithson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book presents an argument for the notion that every human being is a direct and special creation by God, as opposed to the widely accepted theories of evolution that suggest life arose through natural processes. Smithson critiques a range of evolutionary theories and emphasizes the necessity of a creator in explaining human existence. The opening of the text sets the stage for Smithson's critique of evolution by outlining his position on the diverse opinions surrounding organic evolution among notable figures like Darwin and Huxley. He argues that none of these evolutionists satisfactorily explain the mechanisms of heredity or the complexity of life itself, highlighting that every living organism must have been created with intention and design. Smithson's assertions throughout this section focus on the inadequacies of evolutionary theories, asserting that a personal God must guide the intricate processes of life and creation, positing his own views as a hopeful alternative to the perceived despair fostered by materialism and atheistic interpretations of existence.
