The Implications of the Galapagos Islands

Louis Agassiz. the well-known Harvard University zool-
ogist, visited the Galapagos in 1872 and stated that he saw
no fight for survival among the living things there, but that

they lived lives administered by a beneficent Creator. 251
Indeed, the tame animals on the Galapagos Islands refute
Darwinists, who claim that nature consists of a struggle for
survival. Professor Agassiz, one of the most famous biolo-
gists of his time, has explained the invalidity of evolution
and defended the idea that Creation was the origin of life. 252
Anyone who sets aside prejudices and preconceptions
in looking at the Galapagos will immediately agree with
Agassiz's observations. These small areas of land in the mid-

dle of the ocean, a thousand kilometers from the mainland,
contain plants and animals of a richness, variety and beau-
ty not to be seen anywhere else on Earth: verdant tropical
plants and trees, brightly colored, dazzling birds, a whole
range of living things, with flawless designs and matchless
beauty ... Anyone with normal understanding will be
amazed at these species' vivacity and variety, and will con-

clude that a magnificent Creation is on display. That is the
natural conclusion; what one might expect. The surprising
thing, however, is how Darwin and his followers saw all this
