he theory of evolution, as you know,
claims that living things and the complex
structures and systems within them came
into being spontaneously, under natural
conditions. Yet as we have clearly shown
up to now, the photosynthetic systems inside even a
single plant leaf possess an exceedingly complex de-
sign. It is therefore impossible for coincidences to
bring these into being, as evolutionists would have us
believe.
To show this system could not have come about
by chance, let us ask some questions of those who in-
sist on defending the theory of evolution. Who de-
signed this incomparable mechanism established in a
microscopically small area? Can we assume that un-
conscious plant cells, in other words plants, planned
such a system themselves? We cannot, of course, hy-
pothesize any such thing, because there is no question
of plant cells reasoning or designing anything. It is
not the cell itself that makes the flawless system we
see when we examine it under a microscope. Then is
this system the product of human intelligence, of the
only entity capable of rational thought? No human
being has constructed the world’s most complex facil-
ities in a space one thousandth of a cubic millimeter.
Human beings cannot even observe what goes on in-
side these microscopic facilities.
The theory of evolution maintains that all living
things developed in progressive stages, from the sim-
