65:4.1 Do not overlook the [[fact]] that [[Urantia]] was assigned to us as a life-[[experiment]] world. On this [[planet]] we made our sixtieth attempt to [[modify]] and, if possible, improve the [[Satania]] [[adaptation]] of the [[Nebadon]] life [[designs]], and it is of [[record]] that we achieved numerous beneficial [[modifications]] of the [[standard]] life [[patterns]]. To be specific, on [[Urantia]] we worked out and have satisfactorily [[demonstrated]] not less than twenty-eight features of life [[modification]] which will be of [[service]] to all [[Nebadon]] throughout all [[future]] [[time]].
65:4.2 But the [[establishment]] of life on no world is ever [[experimental]] in the sense that something untried and [[unknown]] is attempted. The [[evolution]] of life is a [[technique]] ever [[progressive]], differential, and variable, but never haphazard, uncontrolled, nor wholly experimental, in the [[accidental]] sense.
65:4.3 Many features of [[human]] life afford [[abundant]] [[evidence]] that the [[phenomenon]] of [[mortal]] [[existence]] was [[intelligently]] [[planned]], that [[organic]] [[evolution]] is not a mere [[cosmic]] [[accident]]. When a living [[cell]] is injured, it [[possesses]] the [[ability]] to elaborate certain [[chemical]] substances which are empowered so to [[stimulate]] and [[activate]] the neighboring [[normal]] [[cells]] that they [[immediately]] begin the secretion of certain substances which [[facilitate]] [[healing]] [[processes]] in the wound; and at the same time these [[normal]] and uninjured cells begin to proliferate—they actually start to [[work]] [[creating]] new [[cells]] to replace any fellow cells which may have been destroyed by the [[accident]].
65:4.4 This [[chemical]] [[action]] and [[reaction]] concerned in wound [[healing]] and [[cell]] [[reproduction]] [[represents]] the [[choice]] of the [[Life Carriers]] of a [[formula]] [[embracing]] over one hundred thousand [[phases]] and features of possible [[chemical]] [[reactions]] and [[biologic]] repercussions. More than half a million specific [[experiments]] were made by the [[Life Carriers]] in their [[laboratories]] before they finally settled upon this [[formula]] for the [[Urantia]] life [[experiment]].
65:4.5 When [[Urantia]] [[scientists]] know more of these [[healing]] [[chemicals]], they will become more [[efficient]] in the treatment of injuries, and indirectly they will know more about controlling certain serious [[diseases]].
65:4.6 Since life was [[established]] on [[Urantia]], the [[Life Carriers]] have improved this [[healing]] [[technique]] as it has been introduced on another [[Satania]] world, in that it affords more [[pain]] relief and exercises better [[control]] over the proliferation [[capacity]] of the [[associated]] [[normal]] [[cells]].
65:4.7 There were many [[unique]] features of the [[Urantia]] life [[experiment]], but the two outstanding [[episodes]] were the [[appearance]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:4._THE_ANDONIC_CLANS Andonic race] prior to the [[evolution]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six colored peoples] and the later [[simultaneous]] [[appearance]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA Sangik] [[mutants]] in a single [[family]]. [[Urantia]] is the first world in [[Satania]] where the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:5._ORIGIN_OF_THE_COLORED_RACES six colored races] sprang from the same [[human]] [[family]]. They ordinarily arise in [[diversified]] strains from [[independent]] [[mutations]] within the prehuman [[animal]] stock and usually appear on [[earth]] one at a time and [[successively]] over long periods of [[time]], beginning with the red man and passing on down through the [[colors]] to indigo.
65:4.8 Another outstanding variation of [[procedure]] was the late arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]]. As a rule, the prince appears on a [[planet]] about the time of [Free will|will]] [[development]]; and if such a [[plan]] had been followed, [[Caligastia]] might have come to [[Urantia]] even during the lifetimes of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:1._ANDON_AND_FONTA Andon and Fonta] instead of almost five hundred thousand years later, [[simultaneously]] with the [[appearance]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 six Sangik races].
65:4.9 On an [[Normal|ordinary]] [[inhabited world]] a [[Planetary Prince]] would have been granted on the request of the [[Life Carriers]] at, or sometime after, the [[appearance]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:1._ANDON_AND_FONTA Andon and Fonta]. But [[Urantia]] having been designated a life-[[modification]] [[planet]], it was by preagreement that the [[Melchizedek]] [[observers]], twelve in [[number]], were sent as [[advisers]] to the [[Life Carriers]] and as overseers of the [[planet]] until the subsequent arrival of the [[Planetary Prince]]. These [[Melchizedeks]] came at the time [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:1._ANDON_AND_FONTA Andon and Fonta] made the [[decisions]] which enabled [[Thought Adjusters]] to indwell their [[mortal]] [[minds]].
65:4.10 On [[Urantia]] the endeavors of the [[Life Carriers]] to improve the [[Satania]] life [[patterns]] [[necessarily]] resulted in the production of many apparently useless [[forms]] of [[transition]] life. But the gains already accrued are sufficient to justify the [[Urantia]] [[modifications]] of the [[standard]] life [[designs]].
65:4.11 It was our [[intention]] to produce an early [[manifestation]] of [[Free will|will]] in the [[evolutionary]] life of [[Urantia]], and we succeeded. Ordinarily, [[Free will|will]] does not [[emerge]] until the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64 colored races] have long been in [[existence]], usually first appearing among the superior [[types]] of the red man. Your world is the only [[planet]] in [[Satania]] where the [[human]] [[type]] of [[Free will|will]] has [[appeared]] in a precolored [[race]].
65:4.12 But in our [[effort]] to provide for that combination and [[association]] of [[inheritance]] [[factors]] which finally gave rise to the [[mammalian]] [[ancestors]] of the [[human]] [[race]], we were confronted with the [[necessity]] of permitting hundreds and thousands of other and comparatively useless combinations and associations of inheritance factors to take place. Many of these seemingly strange by-products of our [[efforts]] are certain to meet your gaze as you dig back into the [[planetary]] [[past]], and I can well [[understand]] how puzzling some of these [[things]] must be to the [[limited]] [[human]] [[viewpoint]].
