Chemistry

In the Urantia Book

Chemical facts

• chemistry has its ancient origin in alchemy 81:2.9
• Chemical behavior is wholly dependent on the activity of the freely revolving electrons. 42:7.6
• chemism, in origin, nature, and destiny, is same thing as light, heat, electricity, magnetism, energy, and matter. An there are other material realities as yet undiscovered 42:4.1-2
• At any moment of time, in the blood stream of any human being there exists the possibility of upward of 15 millions chemical reactions between the hormone output of a dozen ductless glands. 65:6.6

Beyond chemistry

• the highest chemistry could not predict that the union of two gaseous hydrogen atoms and one of oxygen would result in a new and qualitatively superadditive substance—liquid water 12:9.3
• chemistry alone cannot explain how a human being evolved. The laws of physics are not responsive to training; they are immutable and unchanging. 65:6.8
• The concepts of truth, beauty, and goodness are not inherent in either physics or chemistry. 195:6.11
• We cannot pray to a chemical formula, supplicate a mathematical equation, worship a hypothesis, confide in a postulate, commune with a process, serve an abstraction, or hold loving fellowship with a law. Due to this God is a personal Deity 102:7.3
