Now, ladies and gentlemen, the subject tonight is,
is man genetically or environmentally controlled?
And I would like to point out to
you that at the start, the communists, the
Marxists, believe that we are environmentally controlled.
That's the basis of their theory of concentration
camps.
You see, if you change the environment, lock
up all the pastors, the environment will make
everybody atheist.
That's their idea.
And the idea of a concentration camp is
to take away any theistic influence.
And if you put them in an atheistic,
brutal environment, then everybody will become a communist.
If you can't, well, that's just too bad
for the patient.
The patient is then wiped out.
The second view is that we're genetically controlled,
and that's the basis of the fascist movement.
Hitler believed that it was the Aryan race
which made his country the destined rulers of
this world, the Aryan race.
The Jews and all the others were missing
links, and God would have wiped them out
in the course of time, but God wasn't
quick enough for Hitler, so he just tried
to help God.
He says so.
He just helped God by wiping them out
genetically, put them in the gas oven.
Now, I want to show you that a
Christian's got to think if he's going to
go through these awful times at the end,
through which we are going.
You live here in a paradise, you know.
I know all the other things that aren't
like a paradise here, but you need to
be instructed on these things.
Other countries are going the way that we
don't want to go.
Now, I'm going to read to you the
Word of God for getting a line on
how we must understand how we become, what
we become.
And the Word I'm going to read to
you is in Luke 8, 4 to 15.
In Luke, the Gospel according to Luke, 4
to 15.
Luke 8, 4 to 15.
When a great crowd came together, and people
from town after town came to him, Jesus
said in a parable, a sower went out
to sow his seed.
Now, seed is a packet of genes, okay?
And here we have the first clue to
why I've chosen this.
A sower went out to sow his gene,
sow his genes, sow his seeds.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on
the path, and was trodden underfoot, and the
birds of the air devoured it.
And some fell on the rock, and as
it grew up, it withered away, because it
had no moisture.
And some seed fell among thorns, and the
thorns grew with it, and choked it.
And some fell into good soil, and grew
and yielded a hundredfold.
And as he said this, he called out,
he who has ears to hear, let him
hear.
And his disciples asked him what this parable
meant.
Jesus said, to you it has been given
to know the secrets of the kingdom of
God.
This parable of the packets of genes, is
a secret of the kingdom of God.
Now, I'm going to teach you, I hope,
God's help, a little bit of science.
But you'll know by it, the secrets of
the kingdom of God.
I wouldn't do it otherwise.
I've taught pharmacology and genetics long enough, and
I've done 40 years of it.
Now, if I weren't teaching you something beyond
that, I wouldn't do it.
So, I want you pay ever such close
attention to all the details I give you,
because it says, you know, in Romans chapter
1, that if we look at science, which
is the study of nature, we see the
nature and being of the living eternal God.
And anybody who doesn't see it, anybody who
doesn't see it, is without excuse.
Understand?
Therefore, if you want to know more about
God, you've got two chances.
You can read about him in the Bible
and become a theologian.
Okay?
Or the other one is to read about
God in nature, in that you study science.
And anybody who doesn't see the eternal God
and his nature in science, is without excuse,
says the Apostle Paul in Romans 1.
I wouldn't do it.
I believe all science to be creation science
myself.
There's nothing else.
It's only that.
Doers be given to know the secrets of
the kingdom of God, but for others they
are imparable, so that seeing they may not
see.
Many scientists see nature and don't see God.
That's what that passage means.
Hearing they may not understand.
Now the parable is this.
The seed, the packet of genes, the seed
is the word of God.
That puts a different light on it, doesn't
it?
The seed is the word of God.
The ones along the path are those who
have heard it, and then the devil comes
and takes away the word from their hearts.
They may not be saved.
The ones on the rock are those who,
when they hear the word, receive it, the
seed, with joy.
But these have no root.
They believe for a while, and in time
of temptation they fall away.
But as for what fell among the thorns,
they are those who hear.
But as they go on their way, they
are choked with the cares of this life,
and the riches and pleasures of life.
Riches and pleasures choke the seed, and their
fruit does not mature.
And as for that in the good soil,
they are those who, having heard the word,
hold it fast in an honest and good
heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Lord Jesus, we ask thee to open our
minds, open our understanding, as thou didst do
to thine own disciples when thou wast amongst
us as man.
Open the words of my mouth, and meditations
of my heart, and our hearts, all of
us, that we may always be acceptable to
thee, our Lord and our Creator.
Amen.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the first man that
started to study genes on a sensible basis
was, of course, Mendel the monk.
And he worked with his garden peas, and
he showed that the heredity of garden peas,
thank you, the heredity of garden peas was
according to mathematics, and it wasn't chance.
Now, Darwin didn't read his work, although Mendel's
work was produced during Darwin's life.
If Darwin had read it, you know, he
was intelligent enough to know that the whole
basis of his theory, in chance, was for
the birds.
If he'd only read it, but he didn't
read it.
You know, lots of things we'd know if
we read, and did as Paul said, continue
in reading and in prayer, developing the mind.
Darwin didn't, and suggested that theory, therefore, because
he didn't read, that has devastated the intellectual
world for over a hundred years, just because
he didn't know.
Now, Mendel found out, you see, that it
was done according to mathematics, and, you know,
I've got my mother's eyes, can't help it.
I've got my father's stature, can't help it.
I have the fresh complexion when I'm almost
dead, you know, I look healthy and well
and blooming and all the rest of it.
My father did until he was 90, and
I'm afraid I'm like it, happily.
Mothers give their temperament, usually, to their sons,
you know.
It's mathematical.
My daughter has got my temperament, poor girl,
and she's got my hands and arms, poor
child, but she's got lots of lots of
nice things from her mother too, all mathematically
wrapped up in packets, and how glad I
am that that's the case.
Now, they forgot Mendel till after he was
dead.
I had a professor in Oxford whose name
was E.
B.
Ford, and he was a tall man, and
he had an even higher voice.
You could hear his voice from miles away.
He had a huge pate with no hair
on it, and his glory was Drosophila melanogaster.
You know all about Drosophila melanogaster, don't you?
The fruit fly.
And he worked on the fruit fly, and
he did some very marvellous work while I
was there.
He worked out on the chromosomes, he worked
out on those chromosomes, the bulges and the
swellings, where the properties of the Drosophila melanogaster
were located.
He made maps of where the length of
the wings was decided, where the colour of
the hair was decided, whether the eyes would
be red, and the animal an albino, or
not.
He got those maps out done beautifully.
The only thing about Ford was that he
didn't know what those bulges were.
He knew they were there, and he could
map them, but he didn't know what was
inside.
And the next two people who went at
that, that particular problem, what was inside the
genes, were Francis Crick and Watson in Cambridge
in England, and they found out that everything
was written down in those bulges in a
code.
The code was a language, and they broke
the code so that you could read it.
And they found out what all the other
people before them, they didn't know, that it
was a book, but a super book, the
most micro book, the most miniaturised book that
you can imagine.
And they broke the code for it.
Now I want to talk to you just
for one minute about what a code is,
because some people don't know, and if you
don't know you'll be lost before we go
very far.
I'm going to show you first of all
what a code is, and then what's inside
those bumps and swellings in the genes, and
then we'll go on from there.
Now this is what a code is.
If I have a concept in my mind,
don't think that you speak in a language,
but don't think that you think in a
language, you speak in a language, but you
don't think in a language, you think in
a concept.
And then, according whether you're American, German, Japanese,
Chinese, you put that concept in which you
think, you put it into a code, and
that's your language.
Now if you have, say, the concept in
your mind of peril, peril, p-e-r
-i-l, danger.
Now danger can be, of course, if I
have appendicitis and I've got a lot of
pain, and I don't do anything about it,
then it may burst, and if a doctor
doesn't do something quickly and carve me up,
and seal it off, and wash me out,
I shall die.
That's a danger.
Now if a person does have a danger,
he has the concept of code, that there's
something wrong in him, a concept, then he
calls out for help.
Now the idea of calling out for help
is rather a mouthful, you see, so we've
called it, this concept, S.O.S. Now
S.O.S. doesn't look like appendicitis.
S.O.S. doesn't look like a car
blowout, but S.O.S. does certainly convey
to anybody that knows the idea that I'm
in danger.
If you're driving along the road, the freeway,
and you're, well you can't do it here,
but you can in Europe, you can drive
at 200 miles an hour along the freeway
if you want to.
It's rather awkward though, if a tire blows
out at that speed.
I had one blow out once, but not
at that speed, but high enough, and the
thing to do is to go to a
telephone box labelled S.O.S. Now you
use S.O.S. for a tire blowout,
you use it for appendicitis, you use it
for an abscess under your tooth, or for
anything else that's peril.
Now what I want you to notice is
this, ladies and gentlemen, please underline it in
your thoughts in red ink.
The code carries a concept, and the concept
is peril, but the code is no natural
law.
It's entirely arbitrary.
Somebody thought that S.O.S., save our
souls, would be a good thing.
That's what it was originally, would be a
good thing to hang a concept upon.
But there's no natural law.
This is very important because we're going to
talk about natural laws in the GED code.
There's no natural law relating this reduction of
entropy, or increase of order, such as S
.O.S. represents.
There's no natural law which couples the two
together.
That's entirely arbitrary, and it's known as a
language convention.
And language conventions aren't built up on natural
law.
They're built up on arbitrariness of men who
need to make codes.
Now the genetic code is no exception.
The genetic code is a code which is
not coupled to natural law.
How you can derive it from natural law
is a mystery to me, because every scientist
wants everything to be coupled to natural law.
He wants it to be naturalist.
He wants it to reside in matter, and
yet he knows perfectly well that a code
does not reside in natural law.
How then can he say it does?
Well, that's one of the mysteries of the
workings of confusion in the human mind, and
I point that out to you right at
the start.
You'll need it two or three times before
I've finished on the scientific part.
Now S.O.S. I can communicate it
to you by writing S.O.S. I
hold it up on a bit of paper,
and you say, oh, the man's got stomachache.
Right?
I've communicated to you very easy.
But you know, it's not very useful sometimes
to take the letters of the alphabet to
get a code over.
It's sometimes more useful to code it again.
And we code it again by writing dot,
dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot, dot,
dot.
S.O.S. equals dot, dot, dot, dash,
dash, dash, dot, dot, dot.
Now, if you're a ship's officer, you know
how to do it.
You get a flag, you get a flash
lamp, or you speak it into the radio,
you tap it out with a key.
Now, dot, dot, dot, dash, dash, dash, dot,
dot, dot, doesn't look like appendicitis, nor does
it look like a blowout on a car.
It doesn't look like peril.
But you see, it's perfectly arbitrary.
And language conventions, codes, even the language convention
which we knew as a genetic code, is
entirely the product of a language convention out
of an intellectual apparatus.
It has nothing to do with natural law.
Now, that's very important to learn, and tomorrow
evening I want to go into that further.
Now, I could, if I wanted to communicate
to you that I've got stomachache, no worry,
I haven't, I've eaten very well today, and
the Americans are awfully kind to me, and
I feel okay.
Now, I could communicate it to you, listen
to this, don't you miss it, if I
don't get you to see a little bit
of oxyhemoglobin into your minds, into your brains,
by making you laugh, you'll never stand this,
because this requires thinking about, and most people
are lazy in respect of thought, and sometimes
in other things as well.
Now, if I want to communicate that to
you, ladies and gentlemen, this is vital, absolutely
vital.
When a vital thing is coming, I'll usually
try, and try my hand at getting you
to laugh, so that I've got just that
bit of extra oxygen up there, so that
it sits.
Now, I can do it, I can communicate
to you, are you listening?
I can communicate to you, what's so much
to do?
I can communicate the concept of peril by
pulling out one of my shoelaces, there they
are, you see, the shoelaces, I pull one
out, and I can tie in it, the
shoelace, I've lost my screen, that's my trouble,
you see, I can pull out the shoelace,
and I can tie in it, one knot,
one knot, one knot, knot, knot, knot, K
N O T, all right, then I can
tie in it, towards the bottom, two knots,
double knot, double knot, so, knot, knot, knot,
double knot, double knot, double knot, knot, knot,
knot, now hold it up to you, and
you see, knot, knot, knot, double knot, double
knot, knot, knot, knot, what do you say?
Oh, he's got appendicitis, you see, The man's
in need, that is an SOS call, but
you see how I've communicated it to you.
Now you think of the advantages.
This is the Inca method of writing, you
know.
This is how the Incas wrote.
They didn't have any paper, nor did they
have pens, but they did have pampas grass,
and they had ropes.
So they took long pieces of string, boot
laces, you see, and they tied into them
knots.
And they did it, the knotting, just like
we write letters on paper.
And they could read it with their fingers
when it was dark.
Just run your fingers down it, you see,
and you've got knot, knot, knot, double knot,
double knot, double knot, knot, knot, knot, aha,
okay.
Fair enough, you see, they didn't use the
moss code, but that's how we would do
it today.
Now, they could not only do it with
their fingers, they could do it with the
light, with their eyes.
You see, the fingers are feeling, and the
eyes are also a feeling, but they're two
different organs, two different senses.
So they could look at it, and just
by looking at it, they knew the contents,
just like we read.
But you think how nice it is to
be able to read your writing, or feel
it, just as you like.
Well, we have to feel it, for the
blind people with Braille, you know.
You've got to make a special form of
writing, because our writing's not suited to that.
But if you have it on a string,
with knots, you can do it by both
methods.
Wonderful method of doing it.
Now, that's what the genetic code looks like.
The genetic code runs on this basis, ladies
and gentlemen.
This is absolutely vital.
The genetic code doesn't use one shoelace, it
uses two.
And between the shoelaces are hung up the
genetic letters.
And instead of having the two letters of
the moss code, you have four.
You see, in moss code, you have two
letters, dots and dash, and then the interval.
And with the dot and dash and the
interval, you can write everything down, everything that
our 26 letters of the alphabet can do.
And you see how much advantage that is?
You could take a shoelace, and with just
two letters and the interval, you could write
up the Bible.
It'd have to be a long shoelace, but
you could do it.
You could write up Goethe, Röslein, Röslein, Röslein,
Roth, Röslein, Auf der Heide, you know, which
you all learnt in German at school, didn't
you?
I hope.
Now, you could write it all up that
way, you could write up Shakespeare.
But the super method of writing books is
simply marvelous, because you can pull the two
shoelaces apart, and from the one ladder that
you put the shoelace up one side, which
goes into one cell, and the other ladder
which goes into the other cell when you're
dividing a cell, each side automatically, by complementarity,
reproduces the total ladder of two shoelaces, and
reproduces the total letters.
So you've only got to pull the thing
apart like a zip fastener, and the other
side of the zip fastener, which is lacking
in each cell, forms itself by complementarity.
It's an absolute genius of an idea, how
to quickly rewrite the whole book.
Now, when you were conceived, there were 23
chapters of the knot method on strings, which
put the total information to make you in
the cell.
Now, we can read the chromosomes and the
genes in a human zygote today, and we
know that there are 46 chapters.
And if we were to write these chapters
down in English, which we can do, they're
chemical instructions.
How to make alanine combine.
How to make the enzymes which make you
work.
How your digestion's got to function.
How your liver's got to be built.
How your kidney's got to be built.
How the concept of your eyes got to
be built.
All these concepts are in code form, we
can read them.
Now, in one zygote of a human, which
you can't see, or scarcely can see with
the naked eye, because it's as transparent as
water, but you can see, if you stain
it right, the 46 chromosomes.
And if you write them down in books,
do you know how many volumes you'd need
to write them down in English on paper?
You'd need a thousand volumes, each of 500
pages, and the smallest print that any printer
knows.
And then you'd scarcely get in all the
instructions, which God has put there in a
code form to make you.
The shape of your nose.
The fact that you're not a crocodile, or
a cabbage.
The fact that you are a human being.
And the remarkable thing is, it's all in
one language, all in one code, throughout nature.
There are only minor variations.
The information written up to make a blue
-green alga, is about the same, in all
essential details.
The information required to synthesize an amoeba, and
to synthesize a frog, and to synthesize a
bee orchid, and to synthesize a crocodile, and
to synthesize an ape, and to synthesize you.
It's all the same language.
Now, you know, if you believe that this
super-language, which is common to all nature,
arose by chance, then you're forgetting that the
basis of a language is the coupling, by
arbitrary means, of a concept with a reduced
entropy system, with a language.
You see, it's entirely arbitrary, this method of
doing things, to say that danger is equivalent
to S-O-S.
There's no natural law behind it.
And it's entirely arbitrary to say that danger
is equivalent to dot-dot-dot, dash-dash
-dash, dot-dot-dot, on a string.
There's no natural law behind it.
And when you look at the...
You know that an intellectual law is behind
it, an arbitrary one.
And when you look at the genetic code,
you just can't find that.
And it's a super-code that we can
read and write down and use ourselves to
make ourselves.
You can go into the lab now, open
a notebook in English, and you can write
it down in the genetic code.
And you put it into an animal or
a plant, and lo and behold, the animal
or the plant will build itself from the
concepts you had first of all written down
in English, and which are now written down
in the genetic code.
It only takes eight or nine hours, you
know, to duplicate the cells of your body.
And you think that's a thousand volumes, each
500 pages, in the smallest script, the smallest
type that you can think of.
You ask a secretary how long it would
take to type out again a thousand books,
each of 500 pages.
I asked somebody that once in a university
meeting, and there was a bright young lady
in front, and I noticed she didn't pay
any more attention to me after I asked
her that, asked the whole congregation that.
There she was, working a computer, you see
here.
She came up with the answer at the
end, and she said, two and a half
years, sir, if I work 24 hours every
day without stopping at all, you don't count
the mistakes I make.
Well now, this is done with no noise,
no noise, just put a few potatoes in
your mouth, and off it goes, by room
temperature, it gears itself.
Now look, think what I've said to you.
Think what I've said to you.
I'm glad you're laughing, I don't need to
make you then, so that you've got enough
oxygen in your brain.
Now, if I say that to you, ladies
and gentlemen, the natural consequence is, oh, oh,
the man is a determinist.
He's a fatalist.
You see, I've said to you really, if
you think it through very carefully, that the
most important thing is to get the right
instructions, so that you're the right sort of
person, genetically speaking.
So I will say to this, I will
say this to you, ladies and gentlemen, that
the most important thing for a young man,
or a young woman, to take care of,
is in the choice of his parents.
You see, if he gets the wrong, if
he gets the wrong instructions from mum and
dad, he's going to suffer for it.
So I would ask you to be very
careful about that little problem of who your
dad and mum are.
Now, and also, when you're thinking of marrying,
consider it too.
Both sides.
Very, very important.
Because there are certain hereditary diseases, which ought
not to be passed on, you know.
Degenerative diseases, which are undermining the state of
our race.
Because medicine allows all sorts of things to
happen, which normally wouldn't happen today, and which
would wipe out those diseases.
Leave that.
Do I believe in fatalism?
Am I like the Muslim, our dear friends,
who just simply say, God did it that
way, and that's it.
Am I determined genetically?
Well, I am, to a certain extent.
You see, I've told you, my genes come
from my father and my mother, and I
can't help it.
Well, I'm very glad, actually, but that's it.
You see, the fact that I'm, have the
genes, X, Y, I have, you see, prove
it, fear does it, X, Y, that was
given me a conception, and I can't do
anything about it.
That I'm a man is just simply determined.
God knew all about that, but it's determinism.
You okay?
The fact that my wife is XX, that
was determined when she was conceived.
She can't do anything about it, neither can
you.
Now, so far, we are determined.
So far that I have blue eyes, that's
determined.
My mother and father didn't have the dominance
for brown eyes, and that's it.
I can't do anything about it.
But I will ask you another question.
Although I can't do anything about XY, and
my wife can't do anything about XX, and
we don't want to do anything about it,
actually, but no, can't argue about it.
Do you think now, let me ask you
a question.
Do you think that because I'm XY, my
wife is sitting there?
What do you think?
Do you think that my XY determined that
I married my wife?
What do you think?
Well, if I were XX, I couldn't, could
I?
But if it's XY, I can.
But then, over and above that, inside those
limits of XX and XY, we have freedom.
But only inside those limits.
You see, you can't do anything about the
color of your skin.
But the color of your skin does not
determine your wife.
It may have a slight influence on it,
but it doesn't determine it.
So you see, you have two outside barriers
within which you have freedom of choice.
There's determinism to a certain extent with your
eyes, there's determinism to a certain extent within
limits, but inside those limits you're free, and
outside you're not.
So you see, it's complicated to talk about
these things, but it's very essential that we
do consider them.
Now let me give you three or four
experiments to show you just how this works.
I'm going to go through them quickly.
If anybody doesn't understand them, just please put
up your thumb and finger, I'll see it,
and try and get it straight.
Experiment number one.
I take some purebred fish, little fish, name
doesn't matter, but they're purebred.
And the father fish fertilizes the eggs of
the mother, and she lays a thousand eggs.
Now all those eggs, each one of them
is a zygote, which is practically an identical
twin to the next one, because you see
they're purebred, there's very little variation in them,
and every fish looks like every other fish
of this race.
Okay?
Now I take 500 of those eggs, and
I put them in seawater, and I let
them hatch out.
When the 500 hatch out, I have 500
hopping little fish that run around, and they
have swim around, and they have two little
eyes at the side of their head, like
two little side lamps at the side of
their head.
Okay?
That's what normally happens.
Now if I take the other 500, which
are genetically practically identical with the first 500,
and I put into the seawater just a
little bit too much, just a trace too
much of magnesium chloride.
Now magnesium chloride is a constituent of seawater,
so I'm putting in nothing new, I'm putting
just a little bit too much.
Not much, but just a little bit.
And I let them hatch out.
And I get out from the seawater with
the magnesium chloride in it, I get 500
little fishes swimming out of their eggs, and
each of them has one huge cyclops eye
in the middle of the forehead.
Now, the genes are there to make two
eyes.
The chemical instructions are there to make two
eyes.
But in the presence of an environment which
is favorable for one eye, like the giants
of old, you know, with one big headlamp
looking at you instead of two, in the
presence of the magnesium chloride, a trace too
much, I get one eye.
What's done it?
The environment controls the expression of the instructions
in your genes.
Your environment controls the expression and development of
your genes.
If your environment is unsuitable, you can have
the best genes in the world.
It won't help you much.
You've got to bring out what's in them
by a suitable environment.
Now, that's experiment number one.
You can repeat it if you like, you
can get the fish and do it.
Experiment number two is this.
You all know, or let me see if
you do know, see if I can see
the expression on your face.
You all know who Alites Obstetricans is.
Sorry, my apparatus is out.
Does it work or does it not work?
Oh, yes.
Alites Obstetricans.
It's on...
You just have to look and see which
one it is.
He's the midwife toad.
Now, he's a very friendly little fellow and
he lives on dry land and he's not
fussy like other toads are.
The father's a very good fellow.
He's a real good one.
Because when the mother lays her eggs, he
takes the slime of the eggs and wraps
them like a string around his body and
he functions as the uterus.
He functions as the womb.
He hatches the eggs himself on dry land.
Friendly little fellow.
And the eggs don't hatch to tadpoles.
They hatch inside this slime to toads that
can look after themselves.
Now, listen.
Alites Obstetricans, the midwife toad, doesn't have like
most toads during the breeding season the little
black copulation pads which ordinary toads have on
their thumbs.
You see, the ordinary toad that lives in
water or near water, the mother, when she's
laying her eggs, is very slippery because of
the water.
And if the male can't hold her, he
can't fertilize the eggs.
In the case of the midwife toad, the
wife and the husband, they both live on
dry land and the female is therefore dry
when she's fertilized and the male can hold
her without these black copulation pads which all
other toads have on their thumbs.
Now, there was a man called Paul Cameron
who lived in Vienna and he believed that
Darwinism was impossible because it was done by
chance.
And he thought that you could put in
the environment into the genes to give them
new information after the principles of Lamarck.
Now, you know Lamarckism has been disproved.
But that's what he thought.
That was his idea.
And so he said, let's see.
Let's see.
We'll take the midwife toad and we'll breed
them through many years on dry land in
the lab where we've got no water.
He did that and of course no pads
or anything developed.
But then he took others and he made
them breed in water so that the female
was always wet and slippery when she was
fertilized.
And you know, after a number of generations
the male toads at the time of mating
all developed little black pads on their thumbs.
Wow.
He published that and said, I've proved that
Lamarck was right.
If you put the environment there the environment
will go into the genes and they'll get
the genes for making toad pads which we
don't usually have.
So they published that.
And Bateson, who was a rabid evolutionist he
didn't like Lamarckism at all.
He hurried over from London to Vienna and
he looked at them.
And he looked at them as a scientist
looks at things with a critical eye.
And he laid these preparations of midwife toads'
legs in the mating period into water.
And out came the Indian ink.
Now, some assistants had tried to help poor
old camera and made the pads a bit
more impressive by injecting very carefully a bit
of Indian ink into each.
The pads were there.
But she was too enthusiastic, it was a
she.
Nobody found out who did it.
But you know, the poor man so lost
his courage over being exposed like that that
he went into the mountains and shot himself
with his right hand through his left temple.
Now it wasn't necessary to do that because
he was right.
You see, what had happened was this.
The environment of the water had brought out
the latent genes in the midwife toad.
He had the genes all along but his
environment was not such that he needed them.
And he didn't develop them.
Now, she says, like me, if I go
into the garden I've got lily white hands
now.
I haven't been into my garden for six
weeks.
When I go into my garden and dig
with the spade and foot method you know,
first of all I get blisters.
Then I get corns on my hands, horny
pads onto my hands here.
Now that is merely the fact that the
pressure on my hands activates my genes and
I produce those things for self-protection.
If I don't work, everything goes back.
But if I do work in the garden,
they come out and I activate my genes.
So you see, you could have lots of
genes in your body and unless you have
the environment acting on them they don't come
out, they remain latent instead of being becoming
patent.
That is the environment triggers the development of
the information on your genes which you've got.
Now I've got a third one which is
very, very important indeed.
It's this.
If you take wistar rats, they're white ones,
you know, with red eyes and you get
nice little fellows.
If you get those rats purebred, you can
breed them together, brother and sister.
You get no abortions and no things like,
no monstrosities out, they're purebred.
There's nothing in them to come out which
is bad and so they breed true even
brothers and sisters like the human race at
the start did, you know.
There's no difficulty about the wives of Cain
and Abel.
They were perfect, you see, so that nothing
bad could come out and even the pharaohs
lived that way, you know.
They always married their sisters to keep the
royal genes within the family.
Abraham married his half-sister the same way
and the Jews are certainly not degenerate.
They are certainly very intelligent people.
Half-brother, half-sister marriage.
These rats, if you take a mother of
a Wistar rat and you let her breed,
say with her brother, and she produces a
litter of 10.
Now they're nice squirmy little things, you know,
blind at the start and all they've got
one interest for is, of course, the mother
to get something out of her and you
take five of them and you put them
to the mother just after birth.
You take the other five and you put
them in solitary cages where they're kept warm
and they're fed from a pipette and then
liquid and then later they get the solid
stuff from an endless belt.
You bring them up in solitary confinement.
They never see anything of life at all,
neither a human nor a rat.
Now if you let them go for a
year like that then you do a rat
IQ.
You all know what an IQ is, don't
you?
I hope yours is 150 and OK, leave
it at that.
You do the IQ of these rats by
a rat IQ method.
When you do that to the ones that
have been in the family they're 25-30
% higher than those who have been brought
up alone in solitary confinement.
And if you cut a section through the
brain and you look at the connections in
the brain, synapses and so on, you'll find
that the rats that are brought up with
the mother are 25-30% better developed
than the brains of the rats that have
been brought up alone.
Now if you let those rats after a
year that have been brought up alone go
back to the mother they can't accommodate themselves.
They can't fit in.
They're sexually impotent often.
They can't bring up a family themselves.
If you do it with monkeys, if you
take a monkey and bring it up alone
you know it can't copulate.
It has no idea of sex and no
relationship to other people.
You see what happens is this, that in
the family the mice react with one another
with the mother and the mother brings up
the mice and the mice bring up the
mother.
And the result is that the genes for
building brain are triggered to build brain by
being in the family.
And the genes of the five that were
brought up alone are all there, just as
they were in the genes of the five
in the family.
But they're not triggered by the environment to
develop.
Now the same is true of the human
being.
If you let the rat go on until
puberty is passed after a year say and
you put the rat back to the mother,
the mother won't know what to do with
the rat and the rat won't know what
to do with the mother.
And the result is all communications break down.
Now you're seeing that here.
Now I'm not suggesting you're rat or anything
like that or even mice, but the same
principle is what you're seeing.
Now I know all about overpopulation.
But you know this that is a fact
that most of the genii which you've got,
the real big men the really intelligent ones,
there are exceptions to this.
But a lot of them were brought up
in big families.
Because it's there you get the stimulation.
And the stimulation brings out the development of
the genes that you've got, brings out your
personality.
And if you're brought up an only child
or if you're brought up I'm not saying
you are only children there are exceptions here.
But I'm talking about generalities.
The idea that you can bring up a
family with only mother or with only father
is surely not stimulating what you need because
a mother can develop in a child that
which a father can't.
And a father can develop in the genes
of a child that which the mother can't.
So God's ordinances of the family is being
rapidly destroyed in our western society.
One of the most grave, the gravest signs
you can see in America and in British
and in European society is that the inventiveness
the creativity is sinking rapidly.
Your last president mentioned it.
America was a nation of inventors.
Look, we've got to.
But that's all going to go suddenly if
children aren't put into a stimulating environment before
puberty.
There's only one way to do that.
That is in a family with many children
where they react on another or in a
good school with somebody who understands these things
where they react with one another that the
genes that are latent in them become patent
and expressed.
If you wait until after puberty, you know,
you learn far less rapidly than you do
before.
Now my children have been exposed to lots
of cultures.
We lived in Switzerland.
We've lived in Norway.
And we've lived in Turkey.
We've lived here.
And we've lived pretty well all around, you
know.
My children just listen to Turkish on the
street.
You know, if they want to say anything
that's rather unsayable in English, they will use
the Turkish word for it and the expression.
They never learnt it.
Now while we were in Illinois, we made
it a rule to understand no English.
I wouldn't.
The result was the children knew we wouldn't
understand and they continued to speak with us
in German.
And also the same applied in Geneva in
French.
And the same applied, although it was a
bit early for them, in Norway.
The result is those kids, before puberty, their
computer is capable of listening to and seeing
any language spoken and decoding it, breaking the
code.
Now if you wait till after puberty, you'll
always speak with an accent.
And your grammar will go wrong.
And your vocabulary will go wrong.
Because we're only given the years before puberty
to learn a language properly.
And you learn it by seeing it and
hearing it spoken.
And the rest is perfectly automatic.
That computer, its function is developed by the
environment.
And if you don't have the environment which
can teach you these things, the whole thing
crystallizes out here and becomes brittle, and you
can't learn anything.
Now you see, my children had that inestimable
advantage of having three languages, besides the Latin
that mother taught them, without having to learn
it.
And they could concentrate on the science.
And with sixteen and a half years, they
entered medical school.
Now, we didn't force them.
You don't want to force a child to
do anything.
But we have the natural ability to develop
our genes, which are there, by the environment,
before puberty.
And everything is done too late, you know,
in our society today.
Wesley, when he went to Oxford, at twelve
years old, could write English and French and
Latin and Greek.
Think of it.
No trouble.
No difficulty.
No sitting down and grinding.
If you let the environment, which God gave
you, work on the genes which he gave
you too.
And the two fit together just like hand
in glove, you know.
No work involved.
But if you wait until you've got four
kids and you're twenty-five, and you go
out then as a missionary and have to
learn the language, well, it's just too bad.
You've got to work a long, long time,
and it usually is so that you don't
learn it perfectly.
There's an enormous, there's almost an infinite capacity
to learn before puberty.
And all the bad things that you do
in the family, you know.
And mum quarrels with dad, and dad quarrels
with mum.
Those are the things that stick.
And then you've got the breakup of the
family.
Unless dad has learned to forgive mum, and
mum has learned to forgive dad, even in
front of the children, the children don't learn
the basis of the gospel, which is certainly
reconciliation, because we're sinners.
If you don't do it, especially with young
children, they'll never learn it later.
The relationship of father and the relationship of
mother is crystallized before puberty.
Now, in Europe, there's the concerted effort, concerted
effort to stop the idea of father and
mother as orientation signs in the family.
The tax laws are so that it's better
for a couple to live in concubinate rather
than marry.
And people aren't marrying.
I was told that a couple could only
go to Australia the other day if they
went there in concubinate.
The law was such that you couldn't do
it otherwise.
Too difficult to get in.
If she went over, the girl, simply to
work and be with her beloved one, but
not live with him, she couldn't get in.
But in concubinate she could.
Think of that.
Now that's the tax laws which are being
made today to destroy this environment working on
the genes and it will deform our civilization.
You've seen it here.
Families without fathers can't grow up.
You know, the disadvantaged persons will be much
better the other way.
Now let me give you another experiment very,
very quickly there because this is highly, highly
important.
If you take a human egg out of
the side of a woman by laparotomy and
you put this egg in a test tube
Yes, thank you.
You put this egg in a test tube
and you fertilize it with the woman's husband.
You will get a human zygote with 46
chromosomes in it.
Okay?
Now if you let that egg grow in
the test tube by putting in the necessary
foods, that egg will multiply 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, 64 cells.
But you know, it never produces a baby.
It produces an amorphous mass.
It must have the egg, it must have
the environment right before it produces a baby.
If you put it into a uterus, a
womb, you will get out of that egg,
other circumstances being normal, a baby, a normal
baby, because the environment is right.
Now, think of this.
The eggs, the chromosomes have got to be
okay.
The environment around the chromosomes have got to
be okay.
Let me give you this last one and
then we'll come and dissect this for you.
If you take the egg of a woman
which has been fertilized with the sperm of
her husband, put it in the uterus, you
get a baby.
Now if you take, say, a bone marrow
cell and put it in a uterus, does
it give a baby?
It ought to, you know.
It's got 46 chromosomes.
If you put the bone marrow cell in
a test tube, it'll divide, but it'll only
produce bone marrow cells.
If you put it into a uterus, it'll
do the same.
Why doesn't it give a baby?
Now, let's try and look at this little
picture I've got here.
You see there you've got a zygote on
my far side, and here you've got a
bone marrow cell.
Now you do this little experiment with me
and it'll explain to you a lot of
Holy Scripture.
Listen.
You then dissect out the nucleus from the
zygote, the little bit that I've got in
the centre, the point, and you put it
at the side there at the bottom.
Could you put that up just a little
bit?
At the bottom there.
And then you take the bone marrow cell,
thank you, you take the bone marrow cell
and you dissect out the nucleus and put
it at the side, you see, just like
this.
There we are, there we are on the
other side.
Now, you then take, you listen to me,
this is quite vital, this is the experiment
that's been done.
You take the bone marrow nucleus, which has
got the 4-6 chromosomes in it, just
as the same as the zygote has the
4-6 chromosomes in it, and then you
put the nucleus of the bone marrow cell
into the cytoplasm of the egg, which hasn't
got a nucleus in it until you put
the new nucleus in it.
Then you swap the nuclei.
Now, if you take that egg, which has
the ordinary cytoplasm of an egg in it,
but it has the nucleus of the bone
marrow cell in it, and if you put
that in a uterus, out comes your bouncing
mouse.
It's been done in three cases in Geneva
by Illmansey.
So, you see, what you've done is this.
You've changed the environment of the nucleus of
the bone marrow cell into the environment of
an egg, and the environment of an egg
produces a baby, whereas the environment of a
bone marrow cell won't.
Okay?
Now, that's very important to notice, that that
actually happens, it's been done, because it gives
you a very good idea of what the
heathen have laughed at for donkey's years now.
Remember when Adam was formed?
Do you think Adam was made from an
ape or not?
That is, did Adam come from a uterus
or not?
I don't think so myself.
Adam was made in a perfectly scientific manner.
The action of spirit, logos, on matter, says
Genesis, gave a living soul or psyche.
That's just how we do it today.
This is nothing that's not scientific to say
that, because if we take matter, which is
correct, and then we apply our biochemistry and
our know-how to it, you can get
out a virus.
Shortly we shall have our Escherichia coli, bacterium
from our own stomach.
And that is exactly, as the Scripture says,
that matter plus know-how, or spirit, gives
you a new organism.
There's nothing to laugh at about that, you
know, it's scientific method.
That is creation science.
It happens.
Now if you take, you make Adam that
way, and then you take out of his
rib a bone marrow cell, this has been
done now, and you put the nucleus of
a bone marrow cell, particularly if it's taken
from an embryo, and you put it into
cytoplasm, which stops the blocking of the genes
that are there.
The genes in a bone marrow cell are
blocked, as you might say, with scotch tape.
Okay?
It isn't scotch tape, of course.
But if you could dissolve off that scotch
tape, when the ribosomes came round to read
the genes on the bone marrow cell, instead
of only reading the bits of the genes
that are free to make a bone marrow
cell, if all the genes were laid bare
by a substance which dissolved the blocking of
those cells, which make a differentiated cell, then
you get a whole organism out.
So when the Holy Scripture says that Eve
was made from Adam's side and didn't come
from a uterus, as the theistic evolutionists say
he did, and she did, then there's nothing
wrong about that at all.
It's perfectly scientific if it happened that way,
because you don't have to make a new
creation.
The creation took place when the genes were
made.
That's where the information was gotten from.
Okay?
All God would have to do would be
to take the XY chromosome of Adam and
remove the Y, or destroy it, and X
would automatically divide itself, and you'd have out
of a perfect Adam a perfect Eve without
a new creation.
There's nothing wrong in these things, you know.
There's no basis for laughing at what the
Bible says.
Today as the years pass by, I'm thankful
because I discover ever more things which prove
that the Bible is not invented.
If you look at other religions, you'll find
that where man was made from a red
blood cell, he couldn't have been made from
a red blood cell, as certain religions say,
because the genes aren't there.
But from a marrow cell, he could.
Okay?
No difficulty.
If you want to read these things, read
them up in the natural sciences, know nothing
of evolution.
Now I want to go quickly ahead now
to this turning round which we read in
the scriptures.
I'm going to turn the situation right around,
draw a little red line under what you've
heard, and this will bring it to a
head such as we want.
A grain of corn, a grain of wheat,
is a packet of genes and chromosomes with
a little food in it.
It's a packet of instructions with food in
it.
Now if you throw the packet of instructions,
the genes, onto a road, traffic comes along,
squashes some, the birds come along, eat up
some, you get the genes okay, but the
environment wrong.
The result is that you get no crop
such as you should get from the information.
If some of the genes are thrown among
thorns and thistles, the genes are okay, the
information is okay, but the thorns and thistles,
they choke choke the realization, the execution of
the genes which are in the packet of
genes in the food.
If you throw some of the genes on
good land, then of course you get the
environment right and the genes right, 30%, 60
% and a hundred-fold growth.
Now that's the second step in the logic.
The packet of genes has got to be
right, and your environment has got to be
right to get food.
Now this is the last step of logic.
Jesus said, are you with me?
Jesus said, the word, the seed is the
word of God.
Now the packet of genes is the seed,
the packet of instructions is the seed which
has power in it to produce the new
plant.
Packet of chromosomes, packet of instructions.
The Bible then is the wheat corn, the
wheat seed.
There you have in the wheat seed all
the instructions which are necessary to produce a
wheat plant to produce a hundred-fold new
wheat for next year.
Now the soil, what about that?
The soil, said Jesus, on which the sower
sowed his seed, is your heart.
Now I've been throwing out at odd times
tonight, packets of information sometimes from the Bible.
To make them grow, you've got to have
the packet of information first and then the
heart has got to be the environment to
make the seed germinate.
Jesus said that the word of God is
very often sewn onto the highway where the
ground is hard.
Now the highway is a place where there's
a lot of traffic.
Do you know what we call it today?
The lot of traffic?
Well I don't mean trucks on the highway.
What I mean is the traffic in your
heart.
You know we suffer from stimulus flooding.
The eyes are chocked full of television pictures.
And the effort required in the brain to
process all those television pictures is something that
you can't say so much.
It's almost infinite.
And we're suffering from too much traffic in
our hearts.
Too much newspaper reading, too little Bible reading.
Too much television, too little time in our
quiet chambers.
Communing with God.
Having our quiet time.
I'm not suggesting you become a monk.
I think that to be unnatural.
And all respect to monks.
Oh I wouldn't say anything about monks at
all.
But I'm not suggesting, I'm not suggesting that
your pastor becomes a monk.
And I'm not suggesting that you become a
monk.
But what I am suggesting is this.
If you've got too much traffic all the
time in your heart, your heart will become
hard.
And no place for the Bible to germinate.
It's too hard.
And it really means that it's so trodden
down by the permanent traffic over it that
it can't sink in.
We're suffering from stimulus flooding.
We don't have the quiet time we ought
to have.
Just to plough up the heart a bit.
Listen, I'm going to test you out now,
with one packet of information which has already
been said to us tonight by your pastor.
I'm going to test you out now, and
you can test your own heart.
I'm giving you a packet of information yet.
And it's this.
He used it.
You sang it.
God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten son, that whosoever believes on
him should not perish, but should have eternal
life.
Now you think.
You think what that means.
It means that God gave his only begotten
son to die for me and for you.
That means that God thought, and you analyze
it, thought that you, to save you, was
more worth than saving his own life.
God's life wasn't saved because he loved you
more.
And he gave his son and Jesus did
it free will.
Now you think.
I've had people come to me today.
I had a case when I was up
in Los Angeles this afternoon.
There was a man, disappointed, rejected by everybody,
smoking himself to death.
So I went over to him and asked
him.
And you know that was one piece of
fruit.
He'd been in many many churches.
One piece of fruit that he'd never realized.
That God loved him more than God loved
himself.
Now you think of the infinite worth of
Jesus' life.
And you're more infinitely worthy and worth the
love of God's life himself.
Now you think that the heart of a
man is too hard to receive that.
God himself telling you that.
And if you're not touched by that, then
I don't know anything that'll touch you if
that doesn't touch you.
If that message doesn't reach you.
The heart is so hard that you can
say that to the average person and you
say, that's religion.
Thank you.
Now you think of a person getting that
bit of information germinate in his heart.
Why don't we, why don't we let that
information, this book of genes, all the explanations
and commands of God to make us into
a new person, why don't we take those
seriously?
Well because our heart is hard.
Now you know, I'm a farmer's son.
During the war, my father had a coronary.
And all his workmen were away at the
war.
So my mother telephoned up to me in
Stockton-on-Tees where I was during the
war, a long, long, long way away.
And she said, look, it's October.
We can't get the work on this huge
farm done.
Fathers and the coronaries, you know.
Couldn't you get a fortnight to you two
weeks off and come and help?
So I went to, we were in a,
you know, in the war.
You couldn't get time off.
I went and explained the situation.
They sent me down.
Just for that specific job of ploughing up
that farm.
Now we had good Berkshire soil.
And after the rains, it was like concrete.
Now the last thing I'd have thought of
doing was going out and sowing that farm.
Putting the information on it.
Sowing the seed.
Because the environment was wrong.
It was hard.
So I went round and got all the
tractors I could to our neighbours.
And I got my brother.
He got some time off too.
We sat on those John Deere Massey Harris
tractors day and night for over two weeks.
Ploughing, ploughing, ploughing that land that was as
hard as concrete.
And then having got it soft, ploughed up,
that which was underneath we put on top.
That's the nature of ploughing, isn't it?
Every farmer's son knows that.
And that which was on top goes underneath.
It turns you upside down.
And that's the first process in softening the
land.
And then we ran over the various drills
and the various rolls and got in the
seed and the fertiliser.
And we had a wonderful crop.
Now if God sees that his word doesn't
take root in you, and there's too much
traffic in it, he sends his plough along.
And he ploughs you up.
I've been ploughed up.
I hope you have been.
And I hope your pastor ploughs you up
too.
You see, he's very faithful.
I know this in planting the seed.
And God is faithful in the troubles you
get.
You see the troubles I've seen today.
Both in the television, I saw one of
the family troubles you get.
You know a mother's heart's broken.
Well now if you think of just having
a heart broken, of having it broken, it'll
frustrate you.
But if it's a means of making you
in time attentive to eternal truths, for temporal
trouble, you've gained eternal good.
And that's a good bargain.
That's a good deal to do.
So God will make you go through temporal
trouble.
You send the John Deere along, and the
Massey Harris, and you'll go under.
But remember this, that the hand that guides
that plough, the hand that guides it, is
a hand that's wanting to make of you
a new plant.
If anybody is in Christ, he is a
new creature.
The old has passed away.
Behold, all things have become new.
Now when God starts with illnesses, and with
trouble with your kids, with trouble with unemployment,
trouble with all these things you get, say
you get unemployed, well now you get some
relief, use it to plant in your heart
thankfulness that God's given you at the time.
I mean that.
To understand the genes and the chromosomes, the
instructions to make a new man and a
new woman out of you.
That's what I'd like you to do as
you go about your daily job today.
Take one other thing that I'd like you
to do.
Here's another gene, and with that gene I'll
finish.
We all, it says, with unveiled face, beholding
the glory of the Lord in his word,
are being changed daily into his likeness from
one glory to another.
This comes from the Lord who is the
spirit.
Who is the spirit.
And Jesus said, my word is spirit.
And here you've got the whole package of
God's information to sow in your heart to
make a perfect new being of you.
And he does it by stages.
Just as you do farming by stages, he
starts at you with one particular job and
goes on to another.
The job is to insert the information, the
genes of God's word into your heart after
it's been prepared like an onion bed.
And then it'll grow.
If anybody's in Christ, he is a new
creature.
Old things have passed away and old things
have become new.
And that's a process which is progressive.
Now what does a new plant need?
A new plant needs, first of all, the
right nourishment in the bed, as I pointed
out.
The second thing it needs is plenty of
sun.
Do you know that song here?
Do you sing it still?
Son of my soul, thou saviour dear, it
is not dark, it is not night if
thou art near.
The first thing you need is plenty of
fellowship with God and his word and God's
people.
And there's nothing like sun for bringing up
a new plant.
The grain of corn doesn't look like the
new ground.
But the grain of corn, when it's in
and produced a new plant in the sun,
is something entirely new.
Something entirely new can be made of us.
But plenty of sun, plenty of fellowship with
Jesus is the first thing.
What's the next thing you need to make
a plant grow?
You know that.
Plenty of rain.
Plenty of dark days.
May I say it?
I'm not a sadist, but may I say
it?
Plenty of sadness.
Plenty of dark and shadowy days.
They're necessary, you know.
When the rain comes down, we say, ooh,
it's raining again.
Think of what it does.
When you get into trouble, think of that.
The third thing we need, and that's the
end of it all, is plenty of breezes
to bring in the carbon dioxide, you see,
to make the plant grow.
And you know the wind is the same
word as ruach in Hebrew.
It means the wind of the spirit.
Where the wind of the spirit bloweth, there
the plants grow.
And you want a church, as you've got
here, where there's plenty of ruach, the wind
of the spirit of God.
And the wind of the spirit of God
will make all these plants thrive on the
whole word.
If a plant only takes part of its
genes, it'll only produce a differentiated cell, and
no whole plant.
What you want is the whole word of
God to make you a whole man of
God.
But the heart's got to be right to
support it.
And that's the relation of genetics and environment.
We'll pray together.
Thank thee, Lord Jesus, the study of the
nature that thou didst make is the study
of thyself.
We thank thee that thou dost reveal thyself
and thine eternal Godhead in thy works.
We thank thee that we're fearfully and wonderfully
made, and that makes our soul praise thee
right well.
Help us in all our various needs, and
help us to thank thee in the troubles
which thou dost send to us, to make
us fit to take thy word and receive
it with joy, and bring forth fruit thirty
and sixty and one hundredfold.
Amen.
