How to make a plant walk was an idea that some inventive menorg pondered over seriously at one time during the dim past.

That idea, however, was subsequently put into a practical form, in a crude way, and the origin of animals was the result—the first models being microscopic in size.

One of the first attempts to make a plant walk resulted in the design and construction of a creeping thing that contained characteristics of both plants and animals, namely, Slime-molds. Zoologists give them the more pretentious name of Mycetozoas, while Botanists call them Myxomycetes.

These Slime-molds were first constructed with legs made like the roots of plants and they depended more or less upon the force of the wind to move them from one place to another.

The most primitive animals on record are known as Protozoans and there are more than eight thousand different species of them now in existence. They are mostly single celled animals of microscopic size.

Some of these tiny animals have never developed beyond their first structural stages. But some of them have been developed with minute mental and muscular systems.

Then there are the Root-footed types of primitive animals, known by scientists as Rhizopoda, who move through the use of false feet that can be extended or retracted from the body as needed. The Amoeba belongs to this type.

By progressive development there were also produced such primitive animals as worms, insects, fish, snakes, and birds in ever increasing numbers and complexity.

There are, perhaps, more than a million different species of WORMS on earth today and each and every one of them was designed and constructed by menorgs to meet the call of Nature.

There are today more than a half-million different species of insects on earth. They are described as six-legged arthropods and many of them have wings.

There are more than two thousand different species of sponges which scientists call Porifera, meaning pore bearers.

There are more than four thousand species of Coelenterate. These animals, containing a combined body cavity and digestive tract are designed in cylindrical form. Jelly-fishes and corals come within this classification.

Of course, long periods of time elapsed during the development of both plant and animal life.

However, all of the numberless types and species of both plants and animals were introduced through the planning of different menorg inventors and designers. There was no other method of creation.

It is erroneous to suppose that all of these different types and species came from a single progenitor.

Menorgs designed and built each new model separate and distinct from one another.

A blade of grass was not the progenitor of the oak tree. Neither was the Slime-mold nor the Jellyfish the progenitor of man.

Just as each progressive development was introduced into man’s mechanical machines by designers with advanced ideas, so each progressive development in plant and animal machines was introduced by more enlightened designers among the menorgs who constructed and operated them.

Just as plant life was spread all over the earth with increasing size and complexity, so animal life was spread all over the earth with increasing size and complexity through continuous improvement in design.

But, notwithstanding this continuous improvement in designs and construction work as well as in operation methods, nevertheless, the first primitive designs continue to be constructed and operated throughout both plant and animal life to this day.

It was the better planning of some menorgs than others that produced the better types of plants and animals.

Still, all types and species of plants and animals that are now in existence are necessary for Nature to be able to utilize everything without the loss of anything.
