DISTRIBUTION AND GROUPING OF CELLS 75 



gether in order to build up the arms and legs? How 

 could they contrive to give the arms and legs the form 

 of a cylinder, the length being several times as great 

 as the diameter? How could the cells possibly know 

 that there should be only one bone in each arm above 

 the elbow and two below the elbow and the wrist? 

 How could they know the number of bones that 

 should be placed between the wrist and fingers ? How 

 could they know that there should be a thumb and four 

 fingers in each hand and the number of joints in each 

 finger? How could it be possible for the blind un- 

 thinking cells to build up the two legs and feet, with 

 all their bones, processes, joints, muscles, nerves, ar- 

 teries, veins, etc., without the aid and direction of a 

 supernatural psychic and creative force? 



We are, therefore, compelled to assume that the 

 Creator generates, guides, and controls the forces 

 which distribute and group the atoms and cells in the 

 body of the embryo. 



Sec. 26. Distribution and Grouping of 

 Cells in the Embryo Body, Continued 



The atoms and cells of which the embryo body is 

 built up, and those of which each organ and part is 

 made, are carried to "the building site" and there 

 grouped by force. This force, whatever it may be, 

 must be sufficient to overcome the force of gravity 

 and the friction, which one atom or cell encounters in 

 moving on the surface of another. This force must
