The Source and Mode of Solar Energy Throughout the Universe

29. And Aleim said, Behold I have given for you every useful
plant-substance yielding seed, yielding seed which there is over
the surface of all the earth, and every individualized substance
of tree which has in it fruit pertaining to a tree yielding seed,
yielding seed for you, it shall be for food.
30. And for all animal life of the earth, and for everything
that flies in the heavens, and for every being that moveth over
the surface of the earth which has in it living breath, every
individualized substance which is a green maturing plant shall
be for food. And it was so.
31. Then Aleim looked at every individualized substance which
they had made, and behold it was as good as possible. And there
was a transition from light to darkness, and then there was a
renewal of light; Sixth Day.
(Chapter ii.) 1. Then the finishing was made of the heavens,
and of the earth, and of all the orderly arrangement.
2. And Aleim [the Forces] finished on the seventh day the divinely
appointed and directed work which they had performed; and they
came again to a state of rest on the seventh day from all the
appointed work which they had done.
3. Then Aleim blessed the individualized substance of the seventh
day and sanctified it, because in it they returned to their
primitive condition from all the divinely appointed and directed
work which the Forces had fashioned like the work of a sculptor,
in accordance with the making of creation.
CHAPTER XV.
CONCLUSION. THE HARMONY OF NATURE'S LAWS AND OPERATIONS.
We have passed before us the different orders of celestial phenomena;
we have called down the denizens of the starry skies and placed them
on the witness stand, and we have interrogated them in the light of
the evidence which they have given before; we have compared their
different statements, and have found that in their testimony they
all finally agree. Instead of confusion, we find order; instead of
complexity, simplicity; instead of discord, harmony; and through all
we see the orderly progress of nature with uniform step, from stage
to stage, higher and higher, until at last she stands triumphant,
the handmaid of creative power, in the very center of the arch of
the universe. We have taken the simplest operations which we find
in progress around us, and have extended them to larger operations,
constantly keeping in view their relevancy and the facts which form
their sole support. Mere speculation has been excluded, and theory
has found its every step based on an established fact. In this way
we may hope to make place for further investigation in this field
by abler minds, and that the conclusions of science may then become
so well understood and so firmly established that to go back to the
"dead-and-dying" theories of solar energies will be like going back
to Ptolemy and Tycho for our astronomy.
