Darwinists never explain how annual desert plants
protect themselves against droughts by remaining dormant in
seed form, and that once it has rained, these seeds sprout very
quickly. How are plants, devoid of consciousness, able to imple-
ment this plan?
Darwinists never realize how an apple seed contains
all the information about the tree it will grow into, its shape and
color, its fruits, the flowers that will bloom, the smell of those
flowers and all the other features possessed by that tree.
Indeed, how could the creation of spring be difficult for the Possessor of
Absolute Power, Who each spring makes the face of the world into a
plain of resurrection, and brings forth there a hundred thousand exam-
ples of resurrection? 27

Darwinists never realize how a single seed will even-
tually develop into a tree 4 to 5 meters (157 to 196 inches) tall
and weighing hundreds of kilos. This growth cannot be ex-
plained by any scenario of gradual evolution.
Darwinists never realize that the leaves of coniferous
trees possess a special protective coating against the winter
cold, and that their waxy surfaces prevent water evaporation to
make the leaves more resistant.
Darwinists never realize how all a plant’s details—for
example, the red color of the rose, the folds in its leaves, the
number, the softness and the velvety texture of its petals, its
perfume—are all installed inside the embryo. No coincidence
has the power to gather together so much detailed information
inside that tiny embryo’s DNA.
Darwinists never appreciate that a seed requires care-
ful protection until the embryo can germinate. This is why
seeds have outer casings that vary according to the species and
