False sentiment perpetuates hopelessly defective human strains, hindering race improvement in early human evolution and stunting the progress of civilization. (52:2.11,12) 99:3.5

God's absoluteness pervades all levels of universe reality, yet in his vast family relationship with creatures, the infinite God is governed by divine sentiment as the Universal Father. 4:4.5
