EVOLUTIONARY FORCE

"Reasoning from cause to effect in the Science of Mind, we begin with Mind, which must be understood through the idea which expresses it and cannot be learned from its opposite matter.(S&H 467:29)" So we begin with God, Cause, and perceive things from the standpoint of spiritual understanding, as they truly are made, which is the opposite of physical testimony. Hold in thought 'God is All', disregard matter as a factor. Adopt this reasoning and see things as they are seen by Him "I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I (Mind), even my hands (Soul), have stretched out the heavens (Spirit), and all their host have I (Principle) commanded. (Isaiah 45:12)"

"The notion of a material universe is utterly opposed to the theory of man as evolved from Mind. (S&H545:11)" Christian Science does not teach that what we perceive with the five physical senses, matter, is unreal; instead, it teaches us how to perceive these same objects as they really are, without the physical, humanized, material sense of them. Its not what you see, it is how you see it. Scientists, refuse to act or react on the false evidence of the material senses "Thus we arrive at Truth, or intelligence (Third Degree: Understanding S&H 116:1), which evolves its own unerring idea and never can be coordinate with human illusions.(S&H467:32)"

"Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. (I Chronicles 16:23)" Keep thought dwelling in the unalterable perfection of His creation, then, no phase of error (First Degre: Depravity S&H 115:20) can claim to be an evolutionary force.
