val—so brief that it is impossible for you to be aware of it—
a message is sent from your foot to your brain, a rapid Schwann
and flawless communication carried out by neurons. In cell
this way, you lift your foot off the ground before it can

of evolution seek to account for this perfect order in the
human body in terms of random coincidences. We can
show just how meaningless these claims are with the follow-
ing example:
Look at the electrical devices around you, each of which has been
specially designed with plastic and electronic equipment, buttons, cables
and other components for a specific objective that will make your life
easier. Dozens of engineers have worked behind the scenes for a single
hairdryer, along with the use of various plants, several branches of sci-
ence and the designs of experts in the field. The result was a device that’s
functional and easy to use. No rational person could logically suggest
that such a device came into being as the result of chance.
