I just can’t see how anyone can observe nature and not believe in its Creator.

Behold the ocean sunfish! I was totally intrigued by this creature, when I became old enough to page through books and magazines and at least look at the pictures. It didn’t look at all like any other fish! I mean, come on–it’s like a great big head without a body.

But look at it in its natural habitat. Here it works just fine. Here it moves gracefully.

“Evolved by blind chance–” Uh-huh. But it’s not chance that’s blind.
