Today, new life emerged, that is, life that didn’t exist,
now exists. This runs counter to the theory of the indestructibility of
matter—or better, that no new matter can come to exist. New life is not simply
the reorganization of elements of matter, but completely extra, new,
additional—something on earth that hasn’t existed until now.
That
new life may only be a lamb; only, in the sense that millions of lambs and
other creatures have received new life throughout history. Yet that one birth
is a symbol of the miracle of new life that occurs in nature every spring and
in creatures every day.
Whether new life will ever arise in a test tube
remains to be seen, but the only evidence we have to date is that life proceeds
from life. That can only mean life on earth proceeded from Life beyond it. Even
the unlikely theory that aliens brought life here, begs the question of where
that life came from!
It seems to me, life has an innate desire to unite with its
source, and the human soul is astray and lost seeking for its destiny
elsewhere. In fact, those who consider independence from that Life their goal
will eventually lose the life they have—both in meaning and in fact.
