Read the following conversation:
OINOS: I can comprehend you thus far-that certain operations of what we term Nature, or the natural laws, will, under certain conditions, give rise to that which has all the appearance of creation. Shortly before the final overthrow of the earth, there were, I well remember, many very successful experiments in what some philosophers were weak enough to denominate the creation of animaculae.
AGATHOS: The cases of which you speak were, in fact, instances of the secondary creation - and of the only species of creation which has ever been, since the first word spoke into existence the first law.
Which of the following options CANNOT be DEFINITELY inferred based on the above conversation?
Option A is inferred from the context since Oinos admits to Agathos that Agathos was talking about 'creation'.
'Shortly before the final overthrow of the earth', from this statement option B can be inferred.
Option C can be inferred from the last part of Oinos's statement.Â
Option E can be inferred from the last part of Agathos's statement.
In the given passage, no point is mentioned inferring natural laws are creations of philosophers.Â
The answer is option D.
