Creation SuperConference Part 3 - The Designed - The Designer

Beauty in nature confounds evolutionists. 
They cannot explain it.
(Stuart Burgess Design Engineer The UK) 
Stuart Burgess is one of those rare practical PhD people. He is the design engineer for the solar array for the largest satellite in the world for the European Space Agency. He developed a military surveillance drone. He also designed the most efficient racing bike in the world for the Rio Olympics British team. They won six gold medals. And he has developed a friction efficient prosthetic knee.

The commonality among all these projects is that he studied God's creation in order to come up with the design ideas that were so incredibly successful - a dragonfly, a fish jaw, the human blood stream...

Think about it. Try designing something as simple and yet complex as a banana peel. Wouldn't the food industry love it! A container that changes colour as the expirty date approaches AND one that is so easy to open and yet keeps the contents completely fresh and protected. 

Thinking about creation from a designer's point of view is incredibly revealing. This spectacular design of course points directly to the fact that there is a  Designer. We are dealing with a very wise God.

And yet, this Designer goes beyond mere function.
It is the beauty He has added to His creation that defies the entire philosophy of evolution.

Beauty like the peacock tail, that has magnificent colour, not because of pigment but from optics.
Beauty that takes pains in the detail to prevent the stem of the feather from interfering with the eye on the tail feather.
Beauty that the peahen cannot even see. 

Beauty like the songbird song
Songs that have melody, rhythm and musical structure.
Songs that finish with a major third or fifth
Songs that have musical anticipation.
Songs that have variety like the nightingale which has over 300 songs in its repertoire. Studies show you can listen to 70 songs before you hear a repeat. 
Songs that music students confuse with compositions by J.S. Bach...

Beauty - a Hallmark of Design.
