Sec. 9. Human Body is Constructed on a Definite and Specific Plan

Every bone, joint, process, muscle, nerve, artery, vein and part has

its own chemical composition, form, size, structure and position in the

body. Each normal human body has the same tissues, organs and parts,

that every other such body has; the form, structure, organs and parts

of all normal bodies being identically the same.

If the so-called factors of evolution were at work in every age and in

every part of the earth, as maintained by the evolutionist, we would

surely find variations and diversities in the form and structure of the

bodies of men in different ages and countries; for we know that the

environments of the different varieties of man differ very greatly in

time and space. For example, the eskimos live all their lives in the

frozen regions at the North, while the inhabitants of the tropics spend

their lives under a blazing sun; yet there is no anatomical difference

between the body of an Eskimo and that of a Cuban.

What is the inference to be drawn from these facts? The evolutionist

and the naturalist say that the facts imply that all men have descended

from a common ancestor, that each individual inherits, from his

parents, every organ and part of his body, that “like begets like.”

They maintain that the law of heredity has produced the uniformity

of size, form, features, organs and parts, which we discover among

all men, all over the world. No doubt this is the belief of more than

ninety-nine (99) per cent of mankind.

But this belief is manifestly erroneous for the following reasons:

(1) Whatever passes from the parents to the child is transmitted by

and through the fertilized ovum; (2) this ovum is short-lived; it has

no brain, eyes, ears, nose, touch nor taste; no intellect, memory nor

will-power; nor inherent power to produce the embryo body; nor to endow

such a body with life; nor to create a human soul; (3) each embryo

body grows, anew, for itself, without regard to the development and

growth of its parents or any other ancestor; and it is a new chemical

combination and a new mechanical arrangement of the atoms of which

it is composed; (4) each chemical combination of atoms in an embryo

body is made according to a prescribed chemical formula; and each

mechanical arrangement of atoms in such a body is made according to a

specific plan; in other words the chemical combinations and mechanical

arrangements of atoms, in each embryo body, are identically the same

as those in every other such body; (5) conscious intellect, memory,

will-power, force and motion are necessary to combine two or more atoms

chemically, according to a prescribed formula and to group two or more

atoms, mechanically, according to a specific plan; (6) Hence, we are

compelled to believe that every human body is a new, direct and special

creation by Almighty God.
