When an anthropologist, digging in the sands of New Mexico, comes across
a triangular-shaped stone, he examines it carefully. If he sees markings
on the stone that suggest it has been chiseled into shape, he immediately
concludes that an American Indian created the object. He will even attempt
to assign a date to the arrowhead, and determine which Indian tribe it
belonged to. No anthropologist worth his salt ever argues that arrowheads got there by chance. No one has attempted to explain that lightning or wind and water could have shaped these objects. It seems perfectly obvious to everyone that a human being made them. Yet when many scientists dig up fossils, evidence of living things from the past, they make a very different assumption. They don't see the hand of a Creator; they assume these creatures must have been produced by the blind forces of nature, that they just naturally evolved. The animal fossils we discover, even those buried deepest in the geologic layers, represent creatures infinitely more complex than any arrowhead. So why not draw the obvious conclusion: someone had to create them? The Bible suggests a logical answer to the question of origins:“In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
