EVIDENCE PROVING THE STATEMENT OF THE CASE 33 



The most import ant fact to grasp is: the Natural system- 

 involves a successive order of higher and higher power or 

 energy in species of atoms and molecules to permit the 

 various so-called chemical reactions. There is a " law 

 of the strongest " even in atomic and molecular com- 

 linations, and this is the foundation of the same law in 

 anim a Is and p lants . 



Chemists and Physicists, while fully recognizing this 

 combining of atoms, have absolutely no idea of what is 

 meant by this operation, and they fall upon analogy, 

 and very useful it is, to take the place of the conception 

 they want to grasp. Now this mode of reasoning by 

 analogy, while it is very convenient and very useful, is 

 absolutely pernicious, as it ties the mind to rigid ideas, 

 and to conceptions which do not exist in Nature. 

 More, these specialists are educated from youth with 

 these rigid ideas the brain is formed by this educa- 

 tion. It means a serious struggle to free the mind, 

 to give it that elasticity required in order to grasp 

 the grand fundamental facts in Nature. And both 

 chemists and physicists will struggle and succeed in 

 doing this great work.
