Hawkes' words underscore a very important point. No matter how
evolutionists may not want to believe it, no intelligent human being or any
other living creature with its amazing qualities could ever have arisen by
the mechanism of chance. Similarly, Cemal Yildirim, a leading evolutionist
in Turkey, admits, despite his loyalty to the theory, that it is very difficult
to believe that natural selection has any creative force. As he writes:
A third and more important criticism is directed at natural selection as an ad-
equate explanatory principle. Living things at all stages of life, from amoebae
up through human beings, exhibit an extraordinary order, and a teleological
[purpose-oriented] tendency that do not allow any physical and chemical
analysis. The mechanical mechanism of chance, or natural selection is unlikely
to explain this. Take the example of human eye. Could an organ, with struc-

formed mechanically, without the purposeful involvement of any creative
power? Could human being, who form entire civilizations along with works
