Any attempt at measurement of one object by the other one involves
the change in the first
one and the same paradox confronts mortal man when he undertakes the chemical analysis
of protoplasm. The
chemist can elucidate the chemistry of DEAD protoplasm, but he cannot discern either
the physical organization or the dynamic performance of LIVING protoplasm. Ever
will scientists come nearer and nearer the secrets of life, but never will
they find them
and for no other reasons than that they must kill living protoplasm in order
to analyze
it. Although dead protoplasm weighs the same as living protoplasm they are not
the same, because the difference between them is the existence of LIFE FORCE. THE
LIVING THINGS- Secular science Teaching
of the secular science today indicates that the fundamental characteristic of
all
living things is the need for energy to do chemical, transport and mechanical
work. Autotrophs,
are organic life forms such as plants, able to obtain energy and inorganic elements
from non-living sources absorbed from their environment such as ocean. Heterotrops
live-off autotrophs suggesting that the first life forms fed on organic forms in
the ocean and from thereon, through natural selection, the life forms have
evolved. Theories
about the primordial cell formation suggests the formation of coacervates (protein-like
cluster of mixed heated dry amino-acids) which ionize in water forming electrically
charged protein-like molecule. Such proteinoids, when cooled slowly, form microsphere
droplets resembling the single-celled organism, appearing somewhat like DEAD
bacterial “look-alike’s”.
Picure 1. Microsphere S.Fox
(2) has found that such protenoid microsphere has internal compartments and
the outer
boundaries with double layers that resemble cell membranes and that
microsphere had
electrical activity, sensitivity to light, ability to catalyze reactions and
hold substances in
membrane-like structures just as LIVING organisms. The
difference, however, between the two is the presence of the LIFE FORCE
manifesting through
the cosmic germ-plasma of the living cell, when compared to “dead”
microsphere. THE
LIVING THINGS- The Urantia Book In
Paper 16, regarding the evolution of the first primordial cells out of the
electrochemical protoplasm
of early seas, has been stated: “First
primordial cells were simple and undifferentiated electrochemical circuits,
established only
from the reactive inorganic atomic-molecular components into which the LIFE
GERM PLASMA
was introduced. Such
first biological unit of material life initiated was the function of Life
Carriers revolutions of
physical electrochemical energy circuits within material particles created by
Physical Controllers,
and initiating this primordial unit into living existence by Divine
Minister’s sent “life-spark”
through Life Carriers catalyzing first primordial electrochemical circuits of
life; because,
when in accordance with the approved formulas, the physical patterns have
been provided
on morontial Life Carrier worlds of Salvington, then the Life Carriers do
catalyze this
lifeless material, imparting through their persons the vital spirit spark,
and forthwith the inert
physical electrochemical patterns become living cell matter. The vital spark, the vital mystery of life, is bestowed
through the Life Carriers, not by them. The Life Carriers do formulate the life plasma and
supervise the life spark implantation itself, but it is the Local Universe Mother Spirit who supplies
the essential life spark to the lifeless cosmic plasma substance that evolves into living physical
patterns. The
first biological unit of material life created was the protoplasmic cell
which communally associated
various chemical, electrical and other basic energies, and the Life Carriers
are always
there to initiate the primordial reactions of the material life as the
catalytic instigators of
the energy circuits of living matter”. Therefore, the first
primordial unit of material life was brought into living existence by the creative function of the Life
Carriers which have generated physical electrochemical energy circuits within material
particles created by Physical Controllers, and further acted as catalysts for the “spark of life”
initiated by the local universe Divine Minister. The
chemical formulas used in creating the first protoplasmic cells differ for
each planetary system,
and therefore the techniques of living cell reproduction used, are slightly
different for
each local universe. In
any case, the Life Carriers as the catalysts of the initial process, are
always there to initiate
the first primordial reactions of the material life as the catalytic
instigators of the energy
circuits of living matter. All
the worlds of a local system disclose similar physical kinship, however, each
evolutionary planet
develops its own scale of life and not two worlds are exactly alike in plant
and animal endowment. Decisions
about the type of systems variations in the planetary life are made after
studies of evolution
of planetary system by these Life Carrier catalysts. Evolutionary
life is initiated often in different number of planetary localities,
sometimes three as
it was on this planet, cosmically registered as Urantia. In
the development of any planetary life the vegetable always precedes animal
and develops fully
before animal patterns appear and begin to differentiate. All animal types
always develop from
the basic patterns of the preceding vegetable kingdom; they are not
separately organized as
we see from the narrative of this paper.
*** The first protoplasmic life
was originally implanted by Life Carriers in three independent places in the briny oceans
waters about 550 million years ago, and all Urantia’s ancestral life has originated and evolved
further from these suitable salt- water habitats. Man’s primordial ancestors
were literally slime and ooze of the ocean bed in the sluggish and warm-water bays and
lagoons of the vast shore lines of the ancient inland seas. Very few species of the early
types of marine vegetation that participated in those epochal changes, which resulted in the
animal-like borderland organisms are in the existence today. The sponges are the survivors
of one of these early midway types, those organisms through which the gradual transition
from the vegetable to the animal took place. These early transition forms,
while not identical with modern sponges, were much like them, they were true borderline
organisms- neither vegetable nor animal, but they eventually led to the development of the true
animal forms of life. The bacteria, as simple
vegetable organisms of a very primitive nature, are very little changed from the early dawn of life;
they have even somewhat retrogressed in their parasitic behavior. Many of the fungi also
represent a retrograde movement in evolution, being actually plants which have lost their
chlorophyll-making ability and have become more parasitic. The majority of
“disease-causing” bacteria and their auxiliary virus bodies really belong to this group of renegade
parasitic fungi. During the intervening ages,
the entire vast kingdom of plant life has evolved from the ancestors from which the
bacteria have also descended. The higher protozoan type of
animal life soon and suddenly appeared, and from these far-distant times the ameba,
the typical single-cell animal organism has appeared. What this minute creature and
his protozoan cousins are to the animal creation that are bacteria to the plant kingdom-
surviving first early evolutionary species, in a collective differentiation
of planetary life, which have failed subsequently to develop further. Hundreds upon hundreds of
species intervened and perished. Those that have survived but have not progressed represent
the stationary types of early lower animals, survived branches of the tree of life which have
failed to progress, and it took one million years for the mutation within progressive Primate
branch to finally produce the first two primitive human beings, the male and female named
Andon and Fonta, which became the first physical hereditary ancestors of all individualized
mankind on this planet, cosmically registered as Urantia. CONCLUSION “Dead” cell or organism does
not have the “life force” functioning through it’s ego-center. Physical
LIFE is a process taking place in the live organism, between the living organism
and
the environment in which every process tends to create and establish
organismal patterns of
reaction to such environment. All such DIRECTIVE PATTERNS stemming
from the soul’s ego-center and it’s lines of force are highly influential in the evolution
of self-goal choosing. It
is through the mediation of the ego-centric mind, that the living self-Self
and the environment
and/or spirit establish their meaningful contact in ORGAN-(real)IZATION of
self. The
ability and willingness of the living organism to make significant contacts
with either surrounding
environment or spirit, as response to the outer or inner drive, represents
the evolution
of living soul’s ATTITUDE of its whole organismal personality and identity
which, when
manifested in the physical phase of the evolutionary development, represents
the creature’s
physical and spiritual evolutionary characteristics of it’s living
ego-centric self-Self. In
conclusion, it is the evolutionary aspect of the universe creation, evolving
from the oceans electrochemical-protoplasmic circuits, planted in the sea by
Life Carriers, that has evolved into the
first primordial cellular planetary life, which has in its final stages,
fostered the appearance of
the first two planetary primitive human ego-centric-self identity forms with
their individualized personalities that became the physical ancestors of all
planetary mankind on Urantia. References:
