84 SPECIAL CREATION 



These new materials are derived from the blood of 

 the mother. 



No embryo ever takes or uses any organ or part 

 of the body of its father, or mother, except the sperm- 

 atozoon and the ovum, which form the germ-cell and 

 serve as a germ to start the growth of the body. Each 

 embryo is a new combination and a new arrangement 

 of the atoms and cells of which it is composed. It 

 is produced by new forces and motions peculiar to 

 itself, which are similar to, but different from, those 

 which produce every other embryo body. It is admit- 

 ted on all sides, that every human being begins life as 

 a fertilized ovum. It is well known that this infini- 

 tessimal cell has no organs, whatever, it being a mere 

 atom. In no sense can it be called an embryo body. 

 Each person must have his or her own body. No one 

 ever takes or uses the body of any other person, nor 

 any organ or part of such a body, such a thing being 

 unthinkable. It follows, necessarily, that each em- 

 bryo body and every organ and part of it, is pro- 

 duced anew, independently of every other human 

 body. 



Do the atoms and cells of which the embryo body 

 is built up, spontaneously and automatically, form the 

 chemical combinations and make the mechanical ar- 

 rangements, which are necessary to build up the em- 

 bryo body; or is it made by a supernatural psychic 

 and creative force? Which hypothesis is most plaus- 

 ible?
