412 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



find the female cell shows the same wisdom, foresight and 

 intelligence as the smartest general in the army. The 

 centrosome or general manager of the cell body in his 

 careful management of the division of the cell body shows 

 the same foresight and intelligence. His forces are wisely 

 conserved and correctly used. In the face of these clearly 

 and wonderfully intelligent acts, it is absurd to use such 

 words as "instinct," "heliotropism" and "Natural Law." 

 Anyone who can see any explanation in such words and 

 phrases is clearly lacking in the power to correctly ob- 

 serve things. It is just as sensible to say that man is able 

 to produce his battleships, etc., by reason of his "instinct" 

 or that he goes to a banquet by reason of his "heliotropism 

 or that he writes a book by reason of natural law." The 

 difference between the living and the dead is clear and 

 certain. The science of chemistry has proven that atoms 

 and molecules of matter must obey fixed laws in just the 

 same manner as the larger particles of matter like grains 

 of sand or stones and bricks, that everywhere in the uni- 

 verse matter does, always has and always will follow 

 fixed laws. 



Based upon these facts man can now produce a large 

 number of things contained in the body and found in liv- 

 ing structures, such as carbon compounds and many 

 others. We must, however, not lose sight of the fact that 

 these are not the cell itself, not the living beings them- 

 selves. These chemical compounds are the productions 

 of the cell for his own use and purpose. We must remem- 

 ber that the cells cannot produce them for his own use in 

 any different manner than man. The cell or man must 

 follow and observe the fixed laws of matter and force in 

 order to be able to produce the particular article desired. 

 The same laws must be observed in handling atoms and 

 molecules as in handling mortar, bricks or electricity.
