The Design in Nature

The fact that living things have perfectly
designed forms proves that they could never

have originated by chance. The design in nature
is a clear sign of creation.

origination of a complex structure in a complete form out of the blue shows
that it is made by an intelligent agent.
The example of the car also holds true for living things. In fact, the design in life is too striking
to be compared to that in a car. The cell, the basic unit of life, is far more complex than any man-
made technological product. Moreover, this irreducibly complex organism must have emerged
suddenly and fully formed.
Therefore, it is crystal clear that all living things are the work of a superior "design". To put it
more clearly, there is no doubt that all creatures are created by God.
In the face of this explicit truth, evolutionists resort to a single concept: "chance". By believing
that pure chance can produce perfect designs, evolutionists cross the bounds of reason and
science. The famous zoologist Pierre Grassé, the former president of the French Academy of
Sciences, makes his point about the logic of "chance", which is the backbone of Darwinism:
The opportune appearance of mutations permitting animals and plants to meet their needs seems
hard to believe. Yet the Darwinian theory is even more demanding: A single plant, a single animal
