34 SPECIAL CREATION 



all men, all over the world. No doubt this is the be- 

 lief of more than ninety-nine (99) per cent of man- 

 kind. 



But this belief is manifestly erroneous for the 

 following reasons: (1) Whatever passes from the 

 parents to the child is transmitted by and through 

 the fertilized ovum; (2) this ovum is short-lived; it 

 has no brain, eyes, ears, nose, touch nor taste; no in- 

 tellect, memory nor will-power; nor inherent power 

 to produce the embryo body; nor to endow such a 

 body with life; nor to create a human soul; (3) each 

 embryo body grows, anew, for itself, without regard to 

 the development and growth of its parents or any 

 other ancestor; and it is a new chemical combination 

 and a new mechanical arrangement of the atoms of 

 which it is composed; (4) each chemical combination 

 of atoms in an embryo body is made according to a 

 prescribed chemical formula ; and each mechanical ar- 

 rangement of atoms in such a body is made according 

 to a specific plan ; in other words the chemical com- 

 binations and mechanical arrangements of atoms, in 

 each embryo body, are identically the same as those 

 in every other such body; (5) conscious intellect, 

 memory, will-power, force and motion are necessary 

 to combine two or more atoms chemically, according 

 to a prescribed formula and to group two or more 

 atoms, mechanically, according to a specific plan; (6) 

 Hence, we are compelled to believe that every human 

 body is a new, direct and special creation by Almighty 

 God.
