facts in their natural connection proclaim aloud the one God whom man may know, adore, and love, and natural history must in good time become the analysis of the thoughts of the Creator of the universe' as manifested in the animal and vegetable kingdoms." Lord Kelvin, the famed English thermodynamicist once said, "I cannot admit that, with regard to the origin of life, science neither affirms nor denies Creative Power. `Science positively affirms Creative Power'.

Forty years ago I asked Liebig [famed chemist Justus von Liebig--BT], walking some-where in the country, if he believed that the grass and flowers that we saw around us grew by mere chemical forces. He answered, `No, no more than I could believe that a book of botany describing them could grow by mere chemical forces'.... Do not be afraid of being free thinkers! `If you think strongly enough you will be forced by science to the belief in God', which is the foundation all religion. `You will find science not antagonistic but helpful to religion.'" . One cannot help but wonder what has caused many of the most prominent and brilliant minds of both days gone by and of our day to make such statements. No doubt, at least a partial explanation lies in the fact that they saw a few, or many, of the thousands of "signposts" or "ensigns" scattered throughout the natural world which point clearly to the unseen Designer of nature. These "signposts" are multitudinous in our world, and plainly obvious to those whose minds have not been blinded by the "god of this world" (II Corinthians 4:4), "refusing to have God in their knowledge" (Romans 1:28). An examination of these "ensigns" m...
