Keypoint 1 Everything Designed Has a Designer The design of the human body demands the existence of a designer. Have you ever pondered all that’s involved in the
simple act of seeing? Scientists tell us that the delicate engineering
of the eye's cornea and lens make the most advanced camera seem like a
child’s toy by comparison. The tiny rods and cones in the eye change
light into electro-chemical impulses through processes the most sophisticated
laboratory can’t reproduce. And brain cells transform these electrical
impulses into the miracle of perception – something no high-tech
computer can come close to doing.
Engineering, chemistry, information processing – all are involved every time we open our eyes. Charles Darwin once stated that the thought of the eye, and how it could possibly be produced by natural selection, made him ill. Here’s why: The human eye could not have evolved over long periods of time, because it is absolutely useless unless complete. The lens, which focuses light, would be useless without the retina, which senses light. And all the light received would serve no purpose without the nerve fibers which carry signals to the brain. Vision involves a complete system of organs – all interrelated, all thoroughly designed. That’s the way it is with the whole human body. Lungs and heart, nerves and muscles, all perform incredibly complicated tasks that depend on other incredibly complicated tasks. No wonder the Psalmist concluded that the human body speaks loud and clear of a wonderful Creator: “I
praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well.”
