The Error of the Evolution
                                                 of Species


                       is obtained from the foxglove. Vinblastine and vincristine,

                       two chemical substances (effective against Hodgkin's dis-
                       ease and infantile leukemia) were obtained from the
                       Algerian violet. Thanks to a clotting agent in the horseshoe
                       crab found in North America and the West Indies, poten-
                       tially fatal bacteria found in vaccines, pills or medical equip-
                       ment can be identified. Antibiotics used against microbes

                       are generally obtained from bacteria and fungal moulds.

                       More than 3,000 species of plant are used for birth control

                          Were it not for this diversity in living things, we would
                       have no medical and pharmaceutical industry to speak of.
                       Obviously, many living species have the ability to alleviate
                       certain human diseases and health problems. Despite this,


                       Many living things, including the rabbits pictured here, are
                       used in testing treatments administered to cure diseases and
                       in the manufacture of drugs. There is no doubt that it is God
                       who creates these animals and their properties that serve  as
                       cures for diseases and disorders.
