Life is necessarily the union of intelligence and matter.
Without intelligence, matter could not even exist. Without matter, intelligence could not be expressed. We are never aware of motion unless we perceive matter moving. The study of physics shows us that some form of energy gets into matter to make it move. Without this energy, matter is inert. The study of physics also shows us that no matter is totally inert; therefore it always has some energy in it. Energy must have origin. From its character of precision and accuracy, we deduce that its origin is intelligence- nothing less. These facts from which we derive our conclusions are axioms- can be perceived everywhere. Our recognition of the intelligence of life or of motion in matter depends upon our ability to recognize law.
