Show CREATION IN LABORATORY professor Sajs Life Is Due h to Physical and Chem- leal Forces. .-. .t) CHICAGO, Jan. 4. That life Is ' the result of purely physical and chemical forces, irrespective of - any divine or vital force, was de- ' clared by Prof. Albert P. Mat- thews of the University of Chi- cagro to his class in physiological chemistry. While refusing to dis- ) pute the theory of the divine or- igin of life. Prof. Matthews took the Stand that the present crea- tion of life has been proved the result of purely physico-chemical S ractions. "Certain chemical substances," ' . he said, "coming together under ".r certain conditions do and are bound to produce life. There .' Is no getting away from facts, '". fj and the results of laboratory ex- periments, in regard to the pro- duction of certain phenomena J of life are convincing." Prof. Matthews predicted it is : only a matter of time before life itself will be produced in the la- boratory. |
