butterfly, the great variety of fish, crustaceans, birds, reptiles, and most
importantly, human beings with intelligence and consciousness?
When a true scientist examines living things, variation is not the
only aspect to be taken into account. On the contrary, it is evident that
a much more important and basic matter is the extraordinary design
found in these beings. When dealing with finches, he would consider
their flawless flying mechanisms, wings so wonderfully constructed
with perfect technology. He would explore the aerodynamic quality
of a single feather, its delicate but pliant structure that enables the bird
to fly, and the millions of small hooks holding the feathers together. A
scientist with open-minded awareness and no preconceived ideas will
see a plain and evident truth: this flawless design, matchless beauty
and innumerable variety can only be the work of the Creator.
The reason that Darwin and his followers put this reality out of
sight is their psychological attachment to materialist philosophy, a
spiritual condition which is clearly perceived in Darwin. His comment
on the structure of the eye and the feathers of the peacock is a good
example:
I remember well the time when the thought of the eye made me
cold all over, but I have got over this stage of complaint and now
small trifling particulars of structure often make me very
uncomfortable. The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever
I gaze at it, makes me sick! 54
