Examples of Design in Nature (7 of 14 notes)

Part Three
Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

The anti-teleologist would ask us to believe that the lowest of animals developed in and of themselves a kind of photo-sensitivity and that over millions of years, without design or purpose, apart from any external force or power, this characteristic has developed into the intricate mechanism of the human eye, along with the whole optic nervous system with its connections within the brain and with all of its interrelationships with the other parts of the nervous system. Theistic evolutionists do believe in a kind of teleology, that the lower forms of life felt the need for eyes and somehow over the span of millions of years developed them through some kind of will power, but we are reminded of the words of our Lord: “Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?” (Matthew 6:27). And is it not strange that these lowest forms of life are still with us today in exactly the same form in which they existed millions of years ago, never having developed one bit of change?
