32 SPECIAL CREATION 



without their knowledge and without the aid of any 

 psychic or creative force, whatever? Is it possible for 

 the atoms of which each spermatozoon is composed, to 

 assemble and group themselves, automatically into it 

 without the aid of a supernatural psychic and crea- 

 tive force. In another section of this work, I have 

 argued that each spermatozoon is a new, direct and 

 special creation. The same is true of each ovum. 

 I believe that the same psychic and creative force 

 which generates guides and controls the forces, that 

 build up the body of the embryo, continues to gen- 

 erate, guide and control many of the forces which 

 affect the human body during its whole life. I believe 

 that the same force determines the growth and waste 

 of cells ; and by this means fixes the size of each 

 normal body. Why does an elephant grow larger than 

 a mouse ; an ox larger than a man ; an eagle larger 

 than a humming bird? How does it happen that all 

 men, elephants, mice, eagles, etc., are of substantially 

 the same size ? 



It is clear that neither man nor an other animal, 

 has any control over the growth of cells in his body, 

 nor over his own size. The cells of which these bodies 

 are built up,. have no intellect, memory nor will-power. 

 It would be impossible for them to know when a suf- 

 ficient number of cells have been made to bring these 

 bodies to their proper sizes. The cells have no power 

 to control their production nor their waste. It follows 

 that the Creator must govern and control the forces, 

 which produce the cells in each animal body ; and that 

 he fixes within certain limits, the form and size of 

 each body.
