Then whence came I ? The theory, — which we are here taking for granted in respect to the world of matter, — which refers the beginning of an in- dividual's existence to the first creation of the race to which he belongs, which considers intelligent life as con- tinuous through a succession of beings, one springing out of another, and then giving birth to a third, by virtue of prin- ciples infused or machinery contrived in the race, when the original progenitor of it was formed, — this theory, ...we say, will not hold in the present case. It is contradicted by the great fact of my existence as an indivisible unit. Complexity of parts, according to the materialist's hypothe- sis, is essential to the propagation of existence. The seed exists in the fruit ; the germ exists in the seed. It is af- terwards taken from the fruit and the seed, and begins to exist as a distinct plant. But this is the commencement of its separate, not of its total being. It existed before ; it was in the parent plant, as a part of it, and its birth was not a creation, but a division of existence.
