Those who are still loyal to Darwinism–those who still contend that life
is a result of chance–are indeed in a state of consternation as we said at the
beginning of this chapter. Just as the biochemist Michael Behe meant while
he said, "The resulting realisation that life was designed by an intelligence

of life as the result of simple natural laws." , the shock that such people

In another verse, mankind is addressed thus:
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not

Today's science has proven the truth of Creation. It is now time for the
