Misdirected Marvellings

This praise is directed by the evolutionist to the evolutionary processes. To the creationist this praise is rightfully directed to the Creator.

An interesting example of misdirected praise is found at the end of a paper titled “The Surgical Replacement of the Human Knee Joint” by David Sonstehard et al (Scientific American, Jan. 1978) It reads:

Even then, patients, surgeons and engineers should not forget that the natural human knee joint is a remarkable product of evolutionary engineering. Although it can be imitated with increasing success, it will never be duplicated. [Emphasis added.]

The creationist knows that time and chance are destructive, not creative. He also knows that he will not be able to duplicate the natural knee joint perfectly, because his skills and intelligence are so much less than those of his Creator.

All of nature, according to evolutionary theory is less the product of nature’s authorship (engineering) than of her editing.
