THE MIRACLE OF MIGRATION IN ANIMALS

Charles Darwin and his book The
Origin of Species, containing his
confessions on the subject of ani-
mal instincts.

Finally, it may not be a logical deduction, but to my imagination it is far
more satisfactory to look at such instincts… not as specially endowed
or created instincts, but as small consequences of one general law lead-
ing to the advancement of all organic beings,—namely, multiply, vary,
let the strongest live and the weakest die. 41
Here, Darwin clearly acknowledges that a much more plausible
explanation for instincts is the existence of a Creator. Then he says
that even if it is true, by using your imagination it is possible to claim
that all these perfect skills referred to as instincts appeared by coinci-
dence. But as you can see, the founder of evolutionary theory himself,
cannot explain the existence of instincts with evolutionary theory.
Nevertheless, from the moment they are born the animals in
question exhibit intelligent behavior that the evolutionists cannot ex-
plain. They all perpetuate their species by the inspiration of God,
their Creator. They have no rational intelligence or judgment of their
own. Almighty God, Who knows all things better than they and Who
knows their needs better than they do, has created them together with
these characteristics.
