The case of the missing link
Science is a wonderful thing.
It has discovered many truths
4p. and created .manY theories. Most
important, science has created
many things to make our lives
'better.' ,
Melvin hat earned his ph,,p.
in bio-chemistty and was in his
tenth year of work, on the
wobtf$4.01!„.-.4 zKowggft4'•1,''z*ogr,
to see the way the various,
hormones altered the
development of the embryo. It
Was almost . miraculous. In his
ten years he had found nothing
except More hormones 'and parts
of hormones that made the big •
difference. • ,
Melvin wariPdzzled. Science
had found D.NA. which they
knew was the basic element of
iife. They . ha'd synthesiied it,
precisely ... but it was not alive.
Something was missing. After
many man-hour years and many
millions of dollars science was
still in the same spot. Predictions
came thick and fast, but new
insight., came very slowly. Melvin
was stumped.
In his home one day, Melvin
* casually reached for a book,
without looking and settled
down to read. There was a
bookmark almost at the front,
wher It read "In the
beginning..." This was something
new for . Melvin, Perhaps
impossible!! • ' •
• Two weeks later, just a week
'attention • was caught by a voice
on the radio. It was saying', "Jim
ran over' to the schoolyard to
find his- friends,: but when he got
to the place he saw a large, dirty,
• dark factory full lof working
ehildren - even on Christmas
Day.. 'The sign readt,"If He had
• not. come.'" e. Melvin was
puzzled, but hurried on.

At the office, Melvin found a
piece of paper on the floor. He
read it.

"There was a spark."
It must have been by chance.
Something was there!.... *

A,dazzlingly bright light.

I could not see
And yet I saw more clear
Than eye could see.,
Something was there.
It was too huge to see'
And yet so close.

I wonder why?"
That night, Melvin*drearned.
He saw a, brilliantly dazzling,
blinding'light. He saw a• Person
that was not human, nor could
He be fully looked at. Melvin
awoke, terrified. For the first
time in his life he prayed.
Now Melvin was at peace. He
knew the answer. Where science
had failed, revelation had shone
forth successfully.
