This book contains the original experiment by Andrew Crosse in the 19th century, along with a successful replication of his experiment by the London Electrical Society: In the year of 1837 Andrew Crosse endeavored to create synthetic crystal formations with silicates, water, and electricity. A couple weeks into the experiment, Crosse saw tiny crystal nucleations. Success, he thought. But, in the weeks to come he would notice something revolutionary. These crystal formations were developing the exact anatomy of an insect from the genus acarus! Eventually, these insect mineralizations dislodged from their rocky birthplace and began moving around. They even responded to external stimulus, such as light, implying that they developed some sort of sensory ability. When Crosse shared his results with the local community, an outrage ensued. "Only God can create" yelled the angry community. Ironically, Crosse had given evidence that life could be created from dirt, thus supporting the notion of creationism. Even more interesting, the initial conditions in Crosse's experiment are similar to those in Genesis; earth, water, and electricity: 1. The earth (Genesis 1:1) is comprised of about 70% silicates in its crust. 2. Water (Genesis 1:2). 3. Electricity is implied when light becomes present (Genesis 1:3), because light is electromagnetic radiation. Electricity is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Crosse demonstrated that life can arise from ways we have yet to understand through modern science. Many laugh and say his experiment was simply infested with the ova of the described insect. Crosse discusses his various methods of aseptic technique which insist that this was not the case. Even more convincing, his experiment was successfully recreated by William H Weekes of the London Electrical Society. Both Crosse's and Weekes' full experiment are contained within this book. Weekes' recreation took further precautions in ensuring that there was no biological infestation occuring. Regardless of any implications regarding the creation of life, this is a truly amazing experiment that deserves to be known by every person seeking answers to life's grandest questions. Many will wonder why more people don't know about this. My best guess is because it is inexplicable. It is as if life is encoded in electricity, or rather, light.
