But What One Learns In Chemistry Is That Nature Wrote All The Rules Of Structuring; Man Does Not Invent Chemical Structuring Rules; He Only Discovers The Rules. All The Chemist Can Do Is Find Out What Nature Permits, And Any Substances That Are Thus Developed Or Discovered Are Inherently Natural. It Is Very Important To Remember That.
