Design Demands a Mind

One of the coolest toys I had as a kid (if you call it a toy) was a Spirograph. You put an ink pen in a numbered point on a disk and rolled the disk inside or outside a ring to create all kinds of geometric figures. I would show-off my geometric "art" to mom or grandma saying "Look at the design I made" or "See what I created!"

Design… Made… Created…? Why did I use those words? Why didn't I say something like "Hey, I was randomly scribbling on this paper with my eyes closed and look what evolved? Anybody with half a brain would respond with a long "Right" while twirling their finger around their ear.

My point is that when we look at a pattern such as the one printed here, we automatically think of words like order, thought, purpose, design, artistic, architect, and creation. There's nothing about the pattern that suggests randomness. Yet, evolutionist would have us to believe that our physical world, which by the way is FAR MORE COMPLEX than a simple geometric design, all happened by chance – without purpose and without an architect/Creator. What kind of fool do they think I am?

Proverbs 18:2 says, "A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind." According to Scripture, it is the evolutionist who is the fool. They look past the evidence of intent, purpose, and design in our world, and have us put faith in the theory that this all happened by chance. Refusing to believe in God, the Creator, they refuse to enjoy (delight) in the wonder (understanding) of God's handiwork. Instead, they concoct senseless and Godless ideas in their own finite minds in a attempt to describe the miraculous beginning and workings of the universe.

Now, an Evo may state his case saying my brain evolved into a thinking, creating, grey matter, and thus I can create such a design. "Well, your honor, I present to you exhibit A – a snowflake." I wouldn't think a snowflake is very high in the chain of the so-called evolution process – it's frozen water crystals. I didn't create them, nor has any man, yet snowflakes come in incredible geometric shapes and designs. "Hey, look what God created! And He didn't even need a Spirograph."

Caitlin and I just last night talked to one of her old friends who is, in his words, "1000% atheist," and he tried to pull the whole "I believe in science, which is based on facts" argument on us. He then tried to tell us that MICRO-evolution has been proven, and when I told him that the preservation/elimination of certain traits by natural selection from one generation to the next is a far cry from a fish growing fur he wouldn't have any of it and effectively ended the conversation by telling us that there was nothing we could say that would change his mind. It's kind of ironic that someone claiming to be so dedicated to "facts" chooses to rely more on faith when opposing views are offered, but... that's an evolutionist for you! Now if only we could get them to see that too...
