Abstract

Natural adaptations are so extraordinary in complexity and finesse that it is impossible to explain them as evolved. They must have been planted in the creature by its Creator. Adaptations display incredible virtuosity. To illustrate, the writer discusses in some detail scores of examples of remarkable adaptations for predation and defense, respiration, pupation, detection in space, locomotion, reproduction, etc. One of the great defects of evolutionary writing is that evolutionists dodge difficulties like these and dwell on generalities. On the whole, too, they tend to avoid insects and instinct and argue about vertebrates, especially mammals. They should be held to account for specifics, especially in insects, and not excused until they produce an adequate evolutionary explanation. This cannot be done. Nature is too complex, too intellectual and too versatile. Let the critics of evolutionary theory continue to pin evolutionists down to specifics. It will make evolutionists a good deal less arrogant.
