Mars Pictures Confirm ' isle "Further evidence of the Bi- ble's authenticity and accuracy can now be seen in the 21 pic- tures taken by the Mariner IV spacecraft recently released; said Mr. Falconer, presiding minister of the Wingham Cong- regation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Mr. Falconer was comment- ing on the statement which ap- peared in the press recently to theeffect that "the photographs provide new evidence that plan- et earth is something special a and unique in the solar system": "This finding agrees complete- ly with the Bible account inthe first and second chapters of Genesis detailing the preparing and finishing of the earth by God for human habitation' Mr. Falconer said. He quoted a statement from the book "A Physician Examines the Bible" to the effects that "There are probably a thousand conditions which would have to be fulfil- Ied before man could inhabit the earth, Not only must there be light, many kinds of food, water, proper atmosphere, ap- propriate temperature, the nit- rogen cycle, etc. , but there are hundreds of chemical re- actions in the body which con- tribute to man's life processes. The chance that all conditions for life would have been ful- filled by pure chance is one in a billion." In encouraging the members of the local congregation to at- tend and support district as- sembly at London, August 26 to 29, Mr. Falconer explained that the program will provide those attending with scientific, archaeological and other evi- dence of the Bible's correctness. During the next two weeks the Wingham congregation will complete its plans to attend the gathering. R.
