CREATION AND EVOLUTION
The actual early stages of life evolution are not entirely consistent with your present-day views. Human life is not an evolutionary accident – it does not originate spontaneously. There is a precise system, a universal law, which determines the unfolding of the planetary life plan on the planets of space. The process of planetary evolution is orderly and controlled. The development of higher organisms from lower groupings of life is not accidental.
Life appears on the inhabited planets either by direct importation or as a result of the operations of the spiritual representatives of the local universes. The spiritual representatives are entrusted with designing and carrying creature life to the planetary spheres. And after planting this life on such new worlds, they remain there for long periods of time to foster its development.
When the spiritual representatives operating on a new world have succeeded in producing a being with will, with the power of moral decision and spiritual choice, then and there their work terminates--they are through; they may manipulate the evolving life no further. From this point forward the evolution of living things must proceed in accordance with the inherent nature and tendencies which have already been established in the planetary life formulas and patterns. The spiritual representatives are not permitted to experiment or to interfere with will; they are not allowed to dominate or arbitrarily influence moral creatures.
On a planet where life has a marine origin the ideal conditions for life implantation are provided by a large number of inland seas, by an extensive shore line of shallow waters and sheltered bays. On Earth, these ancient inland seas were seldom over five or six hundred feet deep, and sunlight can penetrate ocean water for more than six hundred feet.
550,000,000 years ago the spiritual representatives of the local universe organized and initiated the original life patterns of this world and planted them in hospitable waters. All planetary life had its origin in three original, identical, and simultaneous marine-life implantations. These three life implantations have been designated as: the central or Eurasian-African, the eastern or Australasian, and the western, embracing Greenland and the Americas.
About one million years ago the immediate ancestors of humankind made their appearance from early stock of the lemur type of mammal. While these early lemurs evolved in the Western Hemisphere, the establishment of the direct ancestry of humankind took place in southwestern Asia. Several million years ago the North American type lemurs had migrated westward over the Bering land bridge and had slowly made their way southwestward along the Asiatic coast. These migrating tribes finally reached the region lying between the then expanded Mediterranean Sea and the elevating mountainous regions of the Indian peninsula. In these lands to the west of India they united with other and favorable strains, thus establishing the ancestry of the human race.
