72 THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE UNIVERSE IS NOT BY CHANCE

For millions of years, the
countless, varied plants on the
Earth have known what they
must do and when they must do

it, thanks to a program stored in
their seeds; and they remember
this program and carry it out
without error. A peach tree never
grows from a cherry pit, nor does

a strawberry ever come from the
seed from a lemon tree. It is
surely impossible for a piece of
wood with no brain, eyes or in-
telligence to put such a perfectly
working program into operation

by itself. The idea that this sys-
tem can have been functioning
perfectly for millions of years
due to the success of chance oc-
currences is a fantasy that all

sensible people will
find ridiculous. It
is God Who cre-
ates plants.
