102 SPECIAL CREATION 



posed of the spermatozoon and ovum) to produce, un- 

 aided and alone, a child with the qualities, character- 

 istics and traits of its parents; nor can they prove 

 that the germ-cell and its daughter-cells do, in fact, 

 automatically, produce the child without the aid of the 

 Creator. 



Assuming for argument that the spermatozoon, 

 ovum, germ-cell and its daughter-cells appear to do 

 automatically all the wonderful things that the evo- 

 lutionist and materialist say they do, the question re- 

 mains : do these senseless, unthinking atoms and cells, 

 spontaniously and automatically build up the embryo 

 body with all its organs and parts, or does the Crea- 

 tor, in fact, generate, guide and control the forces 

 and motions, which group these cells into the embryo 

 body? In other words: when the atoms and cells, 

 which go to build up the embryo body, appear to act 

 spontaniously and automatically, are they, in fact, 

 moved, guided, controlled and grouped into the form 

 of the embryo body by the Creator? 



The facts in relation to the development and 

 growth of the embryo are easily described and under- 

 stood. But the real question is this: "What force 

 or agency causes this development and growth?' 



What force or agency causes the child to resemble 

 its parents. Do the germ-cell and its daughter-cells 

 spontaneously and automatically cause this resem- 

 blance; or does the Creator cause it? 



Referring to the origin of life in the individual, 

 Professor Martin says: 



"At present we know nothing in physiology an- 

 swering to the match which lights the furnace; those
