ticular purpose. Naturally, aimless and random-
ly occurring coincidences cannot give rise to liv-

tures designed for specific objectives. Blind
chance cannot endow living things with com-
plex organs and systems.
The more those with common sense examine
life forms, the more they will realize the nonsen-
sical nature of the theory of evolution, which
bases the origins of life on chance. Perceiving
design but calling it purposeless, seeing order
but calling it accidental, is nothing more than a
deliberate denial of the facts. At the root of this
denial lie evolutionists' devotion to materialist
philosophy and their bigoted reactions against
the fact of creation. Rather than admit their
Creator’s existence, evolutionists prefer to
believe that blind chance is a mighty creative
force and that this concept—an expression of
purposeless, unconscious happenstance—can
perform miracles.
But the distorted nature of this belief is easy
to see: If you strew the components of an air-
plane on the ground, random forces such as
wind, lightning, rain and earthquakes can never
make them combine into a complete, functional
aircraft. In addition, all the components in this
example have already been created to be mutu-
ally compatible. Nonetheless, no matter how
long one waits it is impossible for the parts to
assemble themselves into a complete model.
This finished product can come into being only
if a conscious entity assembles all the compo-
