"...I find myself deeply persuarded that the analogies that help most here are biological, organic, more specifically, embryological."

"The over-all problem of the embryo was long ago described by the Psalmist--- in the course of giving his own answer:

Thine eyes did see my substance yet being unperfect; And in they book were all my members written; Which day by day were fashioned: When as yet there was none of them.

'When as yet there was none of them,' how do they know what to become next in the course of becoming what in the end they have to be? That is the problem of the embryo."
