According to Dr. Gardner, studies of human
biology have shown that impulses arise from the
higher level of the brain. These impulses enter into
the bodily system and generate hormones of
different kinds which are necessary for physical
growth. One of these turns protein into sugar. This
natural process in those children who grow up
denied of their parents’ affection is greatly
inhibited. As a result, their bodies are unable to
make full use of the available protein necessary for
their growth.
This is an example which shows how fatal it is to
deviate from the path of nature. Man cannot make
another world of his own by deviating from the
world created by God. On the contrary, he must live
out his life in accordance with this world. If he
abandons the path of nature in favour of some other
path, this will only end in failure, if not actual
disaster.
