Logical Arguments for the Existence of God 59 lowly and simple but evolved later in accordance with this theory of evolution. Similarly, they claim that most of the things in this world that appear so varied in their sex, form, and features did not vary so much in ages gone by, but the world in its early stages con- sisted of a few limited and simple things that have evolved grad- ually into this wondrous universe of today. Thus they argue that the present universe and its elaborate and judicious system cannot be presented as an evidence for an external Creator, for all this has developed naturally as a result of evolution. Second, Western researchers state that this world has always been operating according to a definitive law and continues to do so, and that with scientific research we can learn the cause of every change and every motion or stillness. They claim that, day by day, they are more fully understanding the law of nature, the proper- ties of matter, and the relationship between various things, and that great progress has been made in various fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, mechanics, anthropology, geology, botany, zoology, anatomy, physiology, astronomy, and psychology. The progress is such that innumerable facts, which earlier were mys- teries and completely hidden from our eyes, have been unravelled as manifest realities, and hundreds of false notions, which were established among us as a result of ignorance and established tra- dition, are disappearing in the light of recent advances in knowl- edge; and new realities of life and continuance of the universe are being discovered every day. In other words, the things that were previously considered beyond human reason and thus attributed to a Higher Being, in the light of new sciences, can now be estab- lished to be the result of some definitive laws of nature. Therefore,
