    lar(ely due to plants that there is an ade+uate balan-e o" oAy(en in the atmosphere that enables you to breathe,

    and that you are not poisoned by eA-essie -arbon dioAide, that the humidity o" the air seldom rea-hes

    The ans&er &e hae is (ien in the introdu-tion to this book, but at this point, it is pertinent to remind

    ourseles that it is Eod, the Creator o" all thin(s, 9ho embedded this ital in"ormation in seeds

    The "a-t that su-h important in"ormation and other -hara-teristi-s are implanted in a tiny seed is an
