The apostle Paul in Romans 1:20 said that by studying nature we can see God. What did he refer to?

Two great realities stand out. One is the great diversity of living things. The other is its marvelous complexity.

We are told there are 1,359,000 species in the world. They are divided into fish, insects, vegetation, germs, animals, etc. They vary from a head of lettuce to a giant redwood tree, from an elephant to a mouse, from a hummingbird to a condor. And they all came from a common ancestor, a single cell which “just happened” to come live around some volcano vent in the depth of some ocean.

Just to state the problem is to answer it. Knowing life and its reproduction systems is to know it was not self-generated. Studying the complexity of an eye, which requires an optic nerve and a brain to make it operate, shows the impossibility of chance mutation explaining its origin. There is no example of mutation creating a new organism. All mutations are small changes within a specie.

In the light of such amazing complexity and diversity, the “chance” of evolution seems a ridiculous theory. The only explanation is that in the beginning, “God created...”
