Changes

58:6.1 450,000,000 years ago the [[transition]] from [[Plant|vegetable]] to [[animal]] life occurred. This [[metamorphosis]] took place in the shallow waters of the sheltered tropic bays and lagoons of the extensive shore lines of the separating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents continents]. And this [[development]], all of which was [[inherent]] in the [[original]] life [[patterns]], came about [[gradually]]. There were many [[transitional]] [[stages]] between the early [[primitive]] [[Plant|vegetable]] [[forms]] of life and the later well-defined [[animal]] [[organisms]]. Even today the [[transition]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold slime molds] [[persist]], and they can hardly be [[classified]] either as [[plants]] or as [[animals]].

58:6.2 Although the [[evolution]] of [[Plant|vegetable]] life can be traced into [[animal]] life, and though there have been found [[graduated]] series of [[plants]] and [[animals]] which [[progressively]] lead up from the most [[simple]] to the most [[complex]] and advanced [[organisms]], you will not be able to find such [[connecting]] links between the great divisions of the [[animal]] kingdom nor between the highest of the prehuman animal types and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_62 dawn men] of the [[human]] [[races]]. These so-called "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_fossil missing links]" will forever remain missing, for the simple reason that they never existed.

58:6.3 From [[era]] to era [[radically]] new [[species]] of [[animal]] life arise. They do not [[evolve]] as the result of the [[gradual]] accumulation of small variations; they appear as full-fledged and new orders of life, and they appear suddenly.

58:6.8 Through almost endless [[cycles]] of gains and losses, [[adjustments]] and readjustments, all living [[organisms]] swing back and forth from [[age]] to age. Those that [[attain]] [[cosmic]] [[unity]] [[persist]], while those that fall short of this goal cease to [[exist]].
