"If You Call it Nature, I May Call it God!
"If Nature Produced the First Cell, Then I Am That Nature!"

"There is a Science Transcending All Physical Science"

"Mans Finite Mind Cannot Measure Nor Fathom Out GOD'S Omniscience!"

In reply to the question of a guest at the 126th Street Banquet Table, FATHER DIVINE volitionally delivered a very scientific Message,
of which the following is an excerpt. The doctor questioned why FATHER disapproved of nature's method of propagation,
the union of a male and a female cell.

Given January 17, 1939. 1:50 A.M. At the Banquet Table, 120-160 126th Street, N.Y.C., N.Y.,
The New Day, January 26, 1939, pp. 63-64.

FATHER DIVINE:

Before the beginning of the creation if there was GOD, or if there is GOD, whichever, before these two came forth or were created, male cells and female cells, before there were any cells but the ONE cell, WHO created the first one? It is true, here in this sinful world of mortality, you find the propagation of the sexes, of both man and beast, because they are trying to do something!

There are many cells in one body, it is true, but according to science, of which you are representing it is true, science will tell you that there were not, in the beginning, as many cells in the great creation as there are now . . . the one-cell creature. Then, how did he begin? Did the one cell creature have a female creature some place, without a cell? I have just stepped back to the pre-historic days, before the creation and the pre-creation of things, into the pre-creation of things, before the creation began.

We may find these cells coming up, and we may find them meeting each other according to physical science it is true, but that is what I AM talking about where did the first cell come from? If you call it nature, the producer of the first cell and the producer of all other cells through propagation, the First One in HIS Creation, had to come from some place! Then, if you call it nature, I may call it GOD! If nature produced the first cell, then I AM that Nature! If Spirit or if Mind created the first cell, then I AM that Spirit or I AM that Mind! Because the first cell was created and it formed itself here, and then it formed another one, how did it form the first one? Something was back of the other one, something caused the other one to be formed, and then cell after cell, and tissue after tissue being created and taking form infinitely, until today!

I AM going back before there was a cell! Now, this is the One of whom you have to deal with! One who brought about the first cell of all creation! That is what I Am talking about! As with the first cell, so with all other cells. Every cell in creation must be reckoned, as the first one, and you must see and know definitely, if there are billions of decillions of decillions of decillions of decillions of cells . . . the first one that was, GOD was, in other words, the first one that was, GOD IS, and GOD always IS!

Then, if that be true, HE was before there were any cells but the one or even before there was a cell. Now, tell ME from whence it came! Then if you can tell ME from whence it came, I can tell you exactly where this comes to us who say and know the Truth so logical because we have gone back to the Foundation, before the creation of any existing cell, or any cell was surmised by the versions of finite man!

When we get back there, why, then you see every tongue is stopped! Mortality would desire to have ME stay in mortality and stay in the mortal version, where I would have a destination; but in the Infinite Mind there is no destination. GOD is infinite, and HIS Truth and HIS Understanding go into infinitude! You cannot vision nor surmise the slightest per cent of a fraction of a grain of the infiniteness of the Infinite ONE!

So in conclusion, jot these thoughts down in your memory once and forever! If there are any cells, this will answer the question, in short, most distinctly; and if there is a female cell and there is a male cell, where was the first one, and from whence cometh the first one? There is where I Am before there was a cell! There is where I Am!
