Summary, etc. Commentary on: "On Human Origins: A Bahá'í Perspective" / Craig Loehle, The Journal of Bahá'í Studies, v.2 no.4 (1990): 46-58. The commentator points out that `Abdu'l-Bahá does not endorse accidental formation in one of the key passages used to support the author's contentions, and that therefore Mr. Loehle's thesis may be incorrect. The commentator also notes that there is a tendency to view God's will and nature as being different, whereas Bahá'u'lláh says "Nature is God's will and is its expression." Human free will and nature are both vehicles, expressions or instruments of the divine will. The commentator ends on the issue of the apparent contradiction in `Abdu'l-Bahá's works where he refers to humankind's always existing, and humankind's evolving ; the Master's argument is teleological ; Bahá'í cosmology is also dialectical -it values becoming over being.
