f them in the human, with the function of contraction and release. From the smile on the face of the newborn baby to the legs of the marathon runner, the muscles are in charge. They are placed, however, into two systems--the `voluntary system' over which you have control (reach out and grab a ball), and the `involuntary system' over which you have little or no control (try stopping a kidney). Are we to believe that the skeletal and muscle systems, in all their complexity, "just happened"? No one could ever convince you that, for example, a Cadillac limousine "just happened." Yet something infinitely greater in design and structure-- the human body--we are asked to believe "just happened." What kind of incongruous logic is that, to reach such a conclusion? As G.K. Chesterton once said: "When men stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing. They believe in `anything!'" How true. One does not get a poem without a poet, or a law without a lawgiver. One does not get a painting without a painter, or a musical score without a composer. And just as surely, `one does not get purposeful design without a designer!' Consider, for example, the human ear and the human eye. The average piano can distinguish the sounds of 88 keys; the human ear can distinguish over 2,500 different key tones. In fact, the human ear can detect sound frequencies that flutter the ear drums as faintly as one- billionth of a centimeter (a distance one-tenth the diameter of a hydrogen atom).. The ear is so sensitive that it could even hear, were the body placed in a completely soundproof room, the blood coursing through the veins. Over 100,000 hearing receptors in the ears are sending impulses to the brain to be decoded and answered. The human eye is the most perfect camera ever known to man. So perfect is it that its very presence caused Charles Darwin to say, "That the eye with all its inimitable contrivances...could have been formed by natural selection seems, I f...
