Smithson's Theory of Special Creation
Smithson, Noble
Creation
In other words, each spermatozoön is composed of its own atoms, and
these atoms are selected, assembled, combined and arranged by forces
and motions, peculiar to itself, independently of and wholly different
from, the forces and motions which build up every other. The same is
true of each ovum, the necessary changes being made.
It is a well known fact that each human spermatozoön is so adapted
to, and correlated with, each human ovum that these two cells will,
under suitable conditions, fuse and produce a new human being. It is
also true that no other substance, on the earth, will fuse with such
an ovum with the same result. The same is true of each ovum _vice
versa_. These facts prove that each spermatozoön, and each ovum, has
a specific composition, and definite arrangement of its atoms; that
each spermatozoön has the same composition, and, substantially the same
form, size, and structure that every other has; and that each ovum has
the same composition, form, size and structure that every other has.
We cannot doubt that each spermatozoön and each ovum is produced anew,
separately and apart from, and independently of every other, the
production of each having no relation to the production nor to the
existence of any other.
Intellect, memory, will-power, force and motion are necessary to group
two or more atoms into a prescribed chemical combination, or into a
specified mechanical arrangement. So supernatural, psychic and creative
force are necessary to endow the human spermatozoön and ovum, with the
vital properties and potentialities which they are known to possess.
Thus it appears that each spermatozoön and each ovum has mysterious
and wonderful properties peculiar to itself. We cannot believe that
they are produced by accident, nor by chance; nor that the atoms, of
which they are composed, assemble and group themselves, automatically,
into the form of a spermatozoön or an ovum; nor that they are evolved
by the factors of evolution. The man in whose genital organs the
spermatozoön is formed, has no conscious part nor voluntary agency in
its production; nor has he any control, nor any power over it. His
sexual organs “grind it out” as a mill grinds out meal. Nor has the
woman, in whose ovary the ovum is formed, any part nor agency in its
production; nor any control nor any power over it. No man, however
wise, scientific and great he may be, can make any combination of atoms
with the properties and potentialities of the spermatozoön; nor with
those of the ovum.
