Abstract

This article uses the desert primrose and its unique ability to germinate only after a specific amount of rainfall from above as a central example. The author, Willis E. Keithley, a nature photographer and evangelist, argues that such complex biological mechanisms, like the seed's rain-measuring capability and germination inhibitors, point towards a "Prime Intellect" or divine design rather than random chance. Keithley suggests that attributing such precise functions to "Mother Nature" or the plant kingdom itself is illogical, implying that life's intricate features necessitate a creator.
