Excerpt from Schnell Astronomy It also shows that our solar system is a well-organ ized family, obeying and being governed by the same law as the human race; that the planets follow our lives and come into existence the same as we do, by mating, and then have their offspring, which in turn reproduce their kind, the same as Man, Beast, or Bird; that every thing that exists, all organized bodies, obey one law, and that is to propagate their species, only that there are different stages of evolution of the lives that, exist.
