96 SPECIAL CREATION 



that He endowed these spermatozoa and ova with the 

 power to produce new men and woman, automatically ; 

 and that He ordained that they should have the 

 power to produce new spermatozoa and new ova, with 

 the same properties and potentialities that were pos- 

 sessed by the original spermatozoa and ova, that were 

 generated in the bodies of Adam and Eve and so on 

 forever. 



This brings us back to the proposition that every 

 human body is a compound physical structure, com- 

 posed of atoms and cells, which are grouped into cer- 

 tain chemical combinations and mechanical arrange- 

 ments; and that intellect, memory, will-power, force 

 and motion are necessary to make these combinations 

 and arrangements. To do this work, automatically, 

 these atoms and cells must be endowed with divine 

 intellect, memory, will-power and creative force ; and 

 this is equivalent to a special creation. So if it be 

 said that each fertilized ovum is endowed with the 

 power to produce a new man or woman, the answer 

 is that this endowment is equivalent to a special 

 creation. 



The reader may argue that the Creator endowed 

 Adam's spermatozoa and Eve's ova with the power 

 to develop men and women, who were endowed with 

 the power to produce new spermatozoa and new ova, 

 with the same properties and potentialities that were 

 possessed by those of Adam and Eve and so on for- 

 ever to the nth. generation. 



There are several insuperable objections to this 

 theory : 



First. It is inconceivable that a man could be
