Portrait of Philip Schaff Philip Schaff,  Ante-Nicene Fathers Pseudo-Clementine Literature… (1885)

“ For the body, which consists of bones and flesh, takes its beginning from the seed of a man, which is extracted from the marrow by warmth, and conveyed into the womb as into a soil, to which it adheres, and is gradually moistened from the fountain of the blood, and so is changed into flesh and bones, and is formed into the likeness of him who injected the seed. ”

John Anderson,  The course of creation (1851)

“ Where the viscera, for example, are so constructed as only to be fitted for the digestion of recent flesh, it is requisite that the jaws should be so formed as to fit them for devouring prey—the claws for seizing and tearing it to pieces—the teeth for cutting and dividing its flesh—the limbs or organs of motion for pursuing and overtaking it—and the organs of sense for discovering it at a distance. ”
