Before getting started, let’s review a few notes that are common to my writings…

Bible Versions…

*Old Testament Scripture is normally taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE® (NASB), copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission.

*New Testament Scripture is normally taken from the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (ALT3). Copyright © 2007 by Gary F. Zeolla of Darkness to Light ministry. Previously copyrighted © 1999, 2001, 2005 by Gary Zeolla.

*For the sake of harmonizing the format, slight changes are sometimes made to the NASB and ALT3 verses.

*The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

Writing Style…

*British spelling is often used, except for the quoted material, which normally employs U.S. spelling.

*The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah (YHWH).

*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

*As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

…But as I listened, I heard as if from down below in the valley the howling of many wolves. The Count’s eyes gleamed, and he said—

Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make! -- Bram Stoker

I. The Isle of Nod

The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells conveys the fictitious story of a man named Prendick. After some unfortunate events at sea, he ends up on a remote island, inhabited by a small number of odd-looking people. Over time he explores his surroundings and realizes that there are many hideous creatures, all of whom have been manufactured by a mad scientist. Fearing himself to be the next victim of the doctor’s experiments, he tries to flee. Moreau gives chase and is able to calm Prendick down, convincing him to return to the safer portion of the island.

The doctor then launches forth into the explanation of these creatures. They are not—as Prendick assumed—mutilated humans; they are rather animals that have been transformed into people through the process of vivisection [i.e., experimental surgeries]. (Although this was a work of fiction, it goes to show the ridiculous optimism and ignorance of a committed Darwinist concerning the simplicity of biology
