But if Bostrom had lived to study the 

 modern cytology he would have found 

 a more adequate comparison within 

 man's organism, and one that perhaps 

 in several respects would have modified 

 his conception of the world of divine 

 ideas. 



God is related to man as man is, not 

 to the cell, but to the lower units of 

 which the cell is composed. Between 

 God and man there is at least one 

 other organism that we know of, name-

 and for simplicity's sake imagine the 

 relationship as that of man to cell it 

 should be evident from what has been 

 previously said that man is and must 

 be something else to God than he is to 

 himself.
