Question 50

Explain how one thing demonstrates Godly desing rather than evolution

Answer 50

Do you believe in evolution in animals? I am going to show you how animals are a part of God's design. Zoologists are the scientists that study animals. They study the things that proves God's creation and design. This is why I believe in God's creation. Animals (and humans) are made from complex systems with cells, tissues, organs, and systems. This already shows an example of God's creation. Animals were not made from single-celled creatures; it's just not possible. God made animals with all their complex systems so they can live and function properly. Even the fact that animals have senses show how complex animals are. It is a clear example of God's wonderful creation. Animal bodies have to have so many different parts just to have senses. In conclusion, animals are just too complex to be made by random chance. It took God six days to create everything (seven including His rest day), not billions of years from evolution. All life was created by God for a purpose. God made animals to function properly, not slowly developing new limbs and other structures/features over time. Animals were created, and they did not evolve over millions or billions of years.
