The Design in the Nature
 This
is not the head of a snake but the tail
of a caterpillar! In a moment of danger,
the caterpillar puffs up its tail which
is designed to look exactly like a snake's
head and intimidates its enemies. |
The fact that living things
have perfectly designed forms proves that they
could never have originated by chance. The design
in nature is a clear sign of creation.
 A
PERFECT HUNTER: THE VENUS' FLYTRAP
A carnivorous plant, the Venus' Flytrap,
is a perfect hunter that swiftly catches
the flies landing on it. It is impossible
for this trap system working with electric
signals to be the work of coincidence or
a gradual developmental process. The perfect
design of the Venus' flytrap is one of the
numerous signs of creation. |
What would you think if you
went out trekking in the depths of a thick forest
and ran across a latest-model car among the trees?
Would you think that various elements in the forest
had come together by chance over millions of years
and produced such a vehicle? All the raw materials
making up the car are obtained from iron, plastic,
rubber, earth or its by-products, but would this
fact lead you to think that these materials had
come together "by chance" and had, by
themselves, manufactured such a car?
Without doubt, anyone with
a sound mind would know that the car was the product
of an intelligent design, that is, it was factory-made,
and would wonder what it was doing there in the
middle of a jungle. The sudden origination of
a complex structure in a complete form out of
the blue shows that it is made by an intelligent
agent.

| This
fish is created with a very interesting
hunting system. It keeps this system undisclosed
under normal conditions. |
When
it sees its prey, it opens its upper fin.
This fin is designed just like a small fish
down to its smallest details. |
The prey,
lured by the fake fish, draws near and suddenly
falls a victim to it. |
The example of the car also
holds true for living things. In fact, the design
in life is too striking to be compared to that
in a car. The cell, the basic unit of life, is
far more complex than any man-made technological
product. Moreover, this irreducibly complex organism
must have emerged suddenly and fully formed.
BONE AND THE EIFFEL
TOWER
Examples of design in nature often
become a source of inspiration for technological
designs. An example is the spongy structure
of the human bone furnished with small
tendons, which inspired the famous Eiffel
Tower in Paris. This structure is responsible
for the strength, elasticity, and lightness
of bones. The same properties also exist
in the Eiffel Tower, though not as effectively
as in bones.
|
Therefore, it is crystal clear
that all living things are the work of a superior
"design". To put it more clearly, there
is no doubt that all creatures are created by
God.
| THE
DESIGN IN OUR HANDS
  The
human hand has a perfect design that gives
us ideal movement ability. Each one of the
27 small bones making up the hand is positioned
properly with a certain engineering calculation.
The muscles that help us to move our fingers
are located in our lower arms so as not
to make our hands clumsy. These muscles
are connected by strong tendons to three
small bones in our fingers.
 Moreover,
there is a special bracelet-like tissue
in our wrists that fastens all these tendons.
The hand has such a perfect design that
no "robot hand" produced by modern technology
has been able to imitate the abilities of
the hand.

In the face of this explicit
truth, evolutionists resort to a single concept:
"chance". By believing that pure chance
can produce perfect designs, evolutionists cross
the bounds of reason and science. The famous zoologist
Pierre Grassé, the former president of the French
Academy of Sciences, makes his point about the
logic of "chance", which is the backbone
of Darwinism:
The opportune appearance of
mutations permitting animals and plants to meet
their needs seems hard to believe. Yet the Darwinian
theory is even more demanding: A single plant,
a single animal would require thousands and thousands
of lucky, appropriate events. Thus, miracles would
become the rule: events with an infinitesimal
probability could not fail to occur… There is
no law against daydreaming, but science must not
indulge in it.12
Grassé summarises what the
concept of "coincidence" means for evolutionists:
"...Chance becomes a sort of providence,
which, under the cover of atheism, is not named
but which is secretly worshipped."13
This is the type of superstition
that underlies Darwinism. |
