cision on the basis of what he has
understood. But in this case, the messa-
ge consists of a hormone composed of a
few molecules; what sends the message is a
collection of cells; what receives the message is
a slightly larger collection of cells. It is certainly a
miracle that cells read and understand mes-
sages (hormones) that come to them just
as a human being understands a messa-
ge he reads.
Moreover, how does this zygote
know what materials it will need in
the course of its growth?
For example, think of yourself.
What do you need to eat in order for your
body to become strong? What minerals do

The heart, nerves, spine, arter-
ies, lungs, teeth, bones, taste-
buds—all these vital parts are
formed while the embryo goes
through the stages in the
mother's womb. For example,
at the end of the third month,
the sex of the baby has been
determined. The parts of the
brain have been formed. At the
end of the eighth month, virtu-

have been formed.
