Concealed Layers of Design

Those with Atheism Spectrum Disorder suppress evidence for the existence of God that is clearly seen (Romans 18:1), needing to repeat the mantra that things only appear designed. They would have to count many Darwin beads and chant very fast when seeing hidden layers of complexity.

In medical science and other areas of biology, advances in technology enable us to view microscopic things we never realized existed, such as cellular machines. In the trees, under the soil, in the oceans are amazingly complex worlds testifying of the Designer.

George Washington Carver was a Christian and a creationist. He prayed for wisdom, and God guided him to discover about 300 uses for the peanut. The peanut. It was designed to have many uses. Indeed, Proverbs 25:2 tells us that God has concealed things, and kings discover them. They are not hidden because he does not want them found, but concealed so his work is gradually seen in many areas. How many more things are waiting to be discovered, how many more layers of design? It takes a great deal of blind faith to believe in evolution. That should be obvious.

Intelligent design is not an imagined pattern of nature, overlayed on an indifferent reality by adherents of a minority movement. The truth regarding the study of nature is that evidence for design, purpose, and foresight pervades the physical and living world. Perceiving the underlying reality of design in nature serves as a motivation for ongoing research. Here, let’s highlight hidden design in some examples from nature that seem mundane, commonplace, and easily overlooked.

What could be more mundane than dirt? In a previous article, David Coppedge cites research that has uncovered an incredible richness of essential biodiversity living beneath our feet — in the soil of planet Earth.
