ABSTRACT

“The riddle of the universe” is still unsolved! Of all the amazing and perplexing questions that have fascinated and baffled the mind of man, the problem of the origin of life is the most stubborn. Science has solved uncounted enigmas, but the simple fact of life has so far resisted every effort of the man of research, and its origin is as much a scientific mystery as it ever has been. Even the vaunted theory of organic evolution which has held sway and retarded true scientific investigation and progress for so long, never offered any explanation of the origin of life, but was content to speculate on the progress of that which was already here.
