Creation
On the other hand the materials of which the body of the human embryo
is built, are carried by the blood of the mother to their proper places
in the body; and different portions of the same raw material, namely:
the mother’s blood, are then differentiated and specialized into bones,
muscles, nerves, arteries, veins, and other tissues, which go to make
up the human body.
These bones, muscles, nerves, etc., are all new creations, independent
of those of the mother, father or any other human being that ever
lived. Except the tiny germ-cell, which is less than one-trillionth
part of the infant, at birth, they are built of atoms that never
formed any part of any other human body. The human body is not only a
compound physical structure, consisting of hundreds of bones, hundreds
of muscles, arteries, veins, etc., and of trillions of cells; and of
many organs, as the brain, heart, lungs, etc., but each of its tissues
and each of its organs and parts has its own chemical composition and
its own mechanical arrangement, peculiar to itself. For example, all
the bones are composed of phosphate of lime, carbonate of lime and
other elements peculiar to the bony tissue. Again, the atoms (cells) in
each bone are mechanically arranged in a manner peculiar to that bone.
Thus, the atoms in the bones of the skull are so arranged as to make
them flat and curved, with an inner and outer plate; those in the other
bones are so arranged as to make them long and cylindrical (arms and
legs); others short (hands and feet); others flat and curved (ribs);
others with complex forms (vertebræ), and so on. The muscular, vascular
and nervous tissues are each composed of chemical elements peculiar to
themselves; and their atoms are so arranged, mechanically, as to form
the muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, etc.
The human body is not only a compound physical structure, with all
these tissues, organs, cells, etc., but life is added to all the other
wonderful properties, which it possesses.
Now, the chemical elements, which compose the bones, muscles, arteries,
veins, nerves, etc., either assemble, automatically, and group
themselves, chemically, and at the same time, automatically, arrange
themselves, mechanically, in such a manner as to form the bones,
muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, brain, heart, lungs, stomach, etc.,
without the aid of any extraneous psychic or creative force, or this
wonderful work is done by the Creator, Himself. Which hypothesis is
most plausible?
