ful work of building up the embryo body ; and, there- 

 fore, that neither the Creator nor spontaneous gener- 

 ation does it. But "nature" and "heredity' do all 

 their work by and through the germ-cell ; so their 

 powers are identical with those of the germ-cell. This 

 germ is a tiny bit of protoplasm composed of carbon, 

 hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, with a possible trace 

 of sulphur and phosphorus. It has no brain, eyes, 

 ears, nose, touch, nor taste ; no intellect, memory, nor 

 will-power; no knowledge of anatomy, chemical ele- 

 ments, chemical affinity, form, size, time, nor space; 

 nor any constructive power nor force; has no power 

 to generate forces nor to guide and control motions. 



Therefore, it is impossible for the germ-cell, or 

 its daughter-cells, to build up, automatically, the em- 

 bryo body, with all its organs and parts. It follows 

 that this body must be directly and specially created 

 by Almighty God. 



Again, every embryo body is made of cells (organ- 

 ic bricks) and these are made of dead atoms. In order 

 to construct this body it is necessary to group a cer- 

 tain number of these atoms into certain chemical com- 

 binations; next these combinations must be grouped 

 into certain mechanical arrangements. Thus, the skel- 

 eton is made of bones ; they are made of cells, which in 

 turn are made of dead atoms of lime, carbon, phos- 

 phorus, etc. ; these cells must be grouped into phos- 

 phate of lime, carbonate of lime, gelatin, etc. These 

 combinations must then be grouped into the two hun- 

 dred and seventy-eight bones of the embryo skeleton, 

 giving each bone its proper form, size, structure and 

 place in the skeleton. It is clear that neither the
