There was a period in the history of the Earth when what we know today as water-vapour and falling rain was a chalky substance, rising and falling. Then comes a strange development: the chalk is particularly attracted to the gelatinous, gristly masses; it permeates them, impregnates them with itself. And thanks to the Earth-forces which, as I told you, it contains, it dissolves the whole gelatinous mass which has formed as congealed albumen. The chalk takes from the heavens what the heavens have formed in the albuminous substance and carries it nearer to the Earth. And out of this the animals with calcareous bones came into being.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Es bildet sich Kalkdunst und wiederum Kalkregen. Die Erde hat eine Zeit, wo dasjenige, was heute bloß verdunstetes Wasser und herunterfallender Regen ist, kalkhaltige Substanz ist, die hinaufgeht und wieder heruntergeht, sich hebend und senkend. Und da entsteht das Eigentümliche: dieser Kalk, der hat eine besondere Anziehungskraft zu diesem Gallert, zu diesen Knorpelmassen. Die durchdringt er, die imprägniert er mit sich selber. Und durch die Erdenkräfte, die in ihm sind - ich sagte Ihnen, die Erdenkräfte sind in ihm -, löst er die ganze Gallertmasse auf, die sich da als geronnenes Eiweiß gebildet hat. Der Kalk nimmt dem Himmel das, was der Himmel in der Eiweiß-Substanz gebildet hat, weg und trägt es näher an die Erde heran. Und daraus entstehen dann allmählich die Tiere, die kalkhaltige Knochen haben. Das ist etwas, was in der späteren lemurischen Zeit sich ausbildet.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":184,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/232/1923-12-01/p022"}],"english":["GA 232/1923-12-01/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":184,"en_words":153,"ratio":0.83,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.89,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4960,"original_word_count":5577,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"E.
