The Error of the Evolution
                                                 of Species


                          Dolphins' nose-like protrusions have served as a model

                       for the prows of modern ships. Leading international heli-
                       copter manufacturers have produced new models imitating
                       the flight systems of the dragonfly. Robot manufacturers are
                       now trying to develop small robots inspired by anatomy and
                       locomotion found in insects. (Many examples of devices
                       modeled after life forms are provided in our books  The
                       Design in Nature and For Men of Understanding.) 122

                          No doubt, living things' superior characteristics that per-
                       mit us to develop new products and techniques once again
                       better our understanding the sublime nature of God's cre-
                       ation.

                          All living things consist of cells, the most complex struc-
                       tures that science has yet encountered. Cells are the build-
                       ing blocks of life, and the cell's data bank is the DNA mol-
                       ecule. An amazing quantity of information is recorded in the
                       DNA molecule, which is far too small to be seen with the
                       naked eye. For example, in the single DNA molecule of a
                       single human cell, there is enough information to fill an en-

                       cyclopedia consisting of millions of pages. This giant data
                       bank is encoded using four special bases, known as nu-
