Seed Dispersal
[“Seeds of Life”], the parachute-like structures on seeds is expressed as
“an unresolved subject:”
Not yet understood is how evolution could develop devices so finely
adapted to flight. 30
As the above quote shows, evolutionists attribute independent
powers to an abstract, imaginary concept like evolution. They refer to

When the seedpods of the poppy and the snapdragon sway in the
wind, thousands of fine seeds are dispersed into the environment. The-
se seeds are so small that they look like specks of dust in the air. The
upper sections of the pods containing the seeds are pierced with little
holes like the top of a saltcellar. In fact, at the beginning of the last cen-
