Abstract

Patterns in nature, indicative of the existence of a Creator-God, are evident in the spiralling of pine cones. That spiralling, as many other natural phenomena, fits the mathematical abstraction known as the Fibonacci series. Pine cones display numbers of right and left spirals which are adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci series, 8 and 5 for the major southern pines. Approximately 50% of the cones will show maximum spiral counts to the right, and 50% to the left.
