Scientists Seeking to Create Life
By Editor
Eminent scientists in various parts of the world are spending much time in seeking to learn how, in the chemical laboratory, to create life. Some men in both the Old World and the New think that they are on the eve of some great discoveries in the work of becoming actual creators. They claim to have formed a "strange octopus-like creature from chemicals," and that it "seemed to live for hours, and have a voracious appetite." The religious hierarchy and ecclesiasticism have ever stood in the way of progress in science and invention. But it has always been true that the good old Book of God has ever been far in advance and beckoning to come on into wider and more promising fields. And we believe that if these scientists would only carefully study this Book, they could become convinced that there is but one real Creator in all the universe. And we will get true joys from working in harmony with Him rather than in trying to usurp His prerogatives. Science and invention have done much and will doubtless still do more in this age. But it will always remain true that with Jehovah is the fountain of life.
