Permanency . . . Just a Myth?

      "The first lizard possessed the snout of a dolphin, the head of a lizard, the teeth and jaws of a crocodile, the backbone of a fish, paddles like those of a whale and the trunk and tail of a crocodile, the backbone of a fish, paddles like those of a whale and the trunk and tail of a quadruped--a very monarch of the early seas. Kill or be killed must have been the rule of his life," says the great French novelist Currie. but it would seem that coat of mail worn by the tortoises and turtles was a better protection than the powerful claws and jaws of the fish-lizard, which was short-lived. The former are alive and flourishing to this day --the latter have altogether vanished. On the grave of John Keats are the words, "Here lies one whose name was writ in water." (Text)

As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. Psalms 103: 15-16
