God Arises
Review

‘How does the shell break?’ was the question that
faced man previously. Now, in the light of recent
observations, instead of an answer, we have another
question: ‘How does the horn develop?’ In the
context of perceived phenomena there is no
difference in the nature of these two questions. At
the most, questions of the type that lead us from
one link to another in the chain of cause and effect,
demand an extension of the observation of facts, if
they are to be answered at all. On this basis, they do
not elicit any valid explanation. The American
biologist, Cecil Boyce Hamann, has this to say:
Where the mysteries of digestion and
assimilation were seen as evidence of Divine
intervention, they now are explained in terms
of chemical reactions, each reaction under the
control of an enzyme. But does it rule God out
of His universe? Who determined that these
reactions should take place, and that they
should be so exactly controlled by the
enzymes? One glance at a present-day chart of
the various cyclic reactions and their
interaction with each other rules out the
possibility that this was just a chance
