The profound complexity and beauty in living creatures showcase expert craftsmanship and artistry, not evolution and random processes. The sheer size of our finite universe points to our infinite Creator. Discover why so many scientists have turned from evolution to creation through studying God’s masterful handiwork all over creation.

Marine Sponges Inspire
The oceans are alive with God’s diverse and amazing creatures. Scripture tells us “God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind.” Both vertebrates (e.g., sharks and whales) and invertebrates (e.g., clams and crabs) were created just thousands of years ago, including the allegedly “simple” sponge.
Complex Creature Engineering Requires a Creator
Bats are a remarkable example of God’s handiwork. Especially, their sonar capabilities put anything human-engineered to shame. These creatures appear suddenly in the fossil record in Eocene strata with no evolutionary precursors, and their fossils look just like modern bats. Bats are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight like birds. In fact, they are even more maneuverable in the air than most birds are.
Why Do Creatures in Ancient Amber Look So Modern?
Gall mites are too small to see without aid, but scientists found two of them after scanning 70,000 amber droplets from Triassic beds in Italy. How much have mites evolved in the supposed 230 million years since they were entombed in amber?
Cambrian Creature Had Complicated Brain
Scientists in China recently discovered that a supposedly simple, ancient creature had an unexpectedly complicated nervous system. The creature was an extinct arthropod found in Cambrian rocks, and it had remarkably preserved nervous tissues that showed it had a three-lobed brain connected to fully developed eyestalks.
Architecture and Engineering in Created Creatures
“Nature is a pretty impressive engineer,” states evolutionist Daniel Lieberman in an issue of Nature magazine. He notes: The physical world poses many basic challenges, such as gravity, viscosity and pressure gradients, to all living creatures, which in turn have evolved an astonishing array of solutions. Many of these, such as paddles, valves and hydrostats, are so widespread that we rarely notice them. Others perform so well that we marvel at their superiority to human-made devices.
