Friend: There’s one point that you didn’t con-
sider when you proposed your theory, and

that is that there is no consciousness in the
natural world. Rocks, soil, lightning and the
Sun’s rays can’t think on their own. They
can’t do experiments. And there is something

else that you overlooked. You are not uncon-
scious like a rock or soil; like all human be-
ings, you have the ability to think. You will

take advantage of this in your experiments,
but you will see that the results will still be
the same. You cannot form a

conscious, living being from
inanimate matter.
