Engineering in Nature

when we consider just the example of wings. How did these incom-
parable designs come about? Why is it that the owl has silent wings
that lets it hunt at night, and not the noisy wings of a pigeon or a
swan? How does the pit viper locate its prey at night by using its in-

frared sensor? Who placed all these complex systems— which our
human engineers now strive to duplicate—in the bodies of living
things?
Evolutionists answer such questions by supposing that living
things acquired their present characteristics through accidental ge-
netic changes in their bodies over time, in other words, by "gradual
change." Yet this claim is meaningless when considered in the light of
logic and reason, as well as the scientific facts. It is impossible for cells
to have come about by chance and then, of their own accord, to have
combined to form such flawless structures. This is just as irrational
and illogical as claiming that giant skyscrapers or bridges came into
being by accident.
It's impossible for even one of the billions of cells that comprise the
bodies of living things to have arisen by chance. The cell's structure is
so complex that it cannot be reproduced even with today's technol-
ogy. All attempts to create an artificial cell have ended in failure.
Countless similar examples of design in nature reveal the evident
truth that God, the Lord of infinite might and knowledge, designed

all living things right down to their tiniest details, in an incomparably
perfect manner. Evolutionists find themselves in a position that needs
to be weighed more carefully.
The presence of perfect technologies in the bodies of a tiny insect,
fish, or bird, far superior to those planned by man, reveals proof that
they were created. These unique designs in nature are the work of
Almighty God, Who in one verse reveals:
