Disproving the "law" of heredity

The Bible reminds us that God, good, is the only source of our inheritance.

From the February 2000 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When I was in my early teens, a dentist expressed concern over the overcrowding of my teeth. The right eyetooth had failed to appear, and X-rays showed that it was lying diagonally above my other teeth. Attempts to correct the problem surgically were only partially successful.

At the age of thirteen, my son obviously had a serious problem with his right eye-tooth. I took him to a dental surgeon and asked whether he thought this tooth should be removed or left alone. The dentist examined it carefully and recommended that we leave it for six months. Then he would reexamine it.

As the offspring of God, we have a spiritual, perfect origin.
