Conscious intellect, memory and will-power are necessary to generate,
guide and control the force and motion employed in the construction of
a compound physical structure, whatever its form or size may be.
Each spermatozoön is composed of myriads of atoms. The atoms of each
are chemically combined and mechanically arranged in the same manner
that those in every other are, all spermatozoä being identical in
chemical composition, mechanical arrangement, form and size. The same
is true of each ovum and fertilized ovum, and of the atoms in them,
respectively, _vice versa_. So each embryo is composed of myriads
of cells, the cells in each having identically the same chemical
composition and mechanical arrangement that those in every other
embryo of the same age and sex have; all embryos of the same age and
sex having substantially the same chemical combinations and mechanical
arrangements of their cells, organs and parts. It follows that each
human spermatozoön, ovum, fertilized ovum and embryo, of the same age
and sex is constructed according to certain prescribed “plans and
specifications.”
We are, therefore, compelled to assume that the force and motion
necessary to construct the spermatozoön, ovum, fertilized ovum and
embryo are generated, guided and controlled by a Being with full
knowledge of the “plans and specifications,” of the chemical elements,
their affinities and combinations, of mechanical arrangements,
etc. The Architect must know the “plans and specifications;” must
be able to compare the work of construction with them, as the work
progresses; must have memory to bear in mind and recall the plans and
specifications; and must have will-power to begin and continue the work
until the “structure” is completed. So He must see that each organ and
part attains its proper form and size at the right time; that each
organ and part is properly proportioned to and correlated with, every
other on each day of its growth. In other words: He must see that the
forces at work, and the motions produced in each organ and part of
the embryo body are proportioned to and in harmony with the forces at
work and the motions produced in every other; that the development and
growth of each organ and part keeps pace with those of every other.
This knowledge, power and creative force belongs only to the Creator.
