Brian Thomas et al. Creatures by Design. ICR, 2021.

This short book (50 pages) very simply and directly asks questions that the theory of evolution cannot answer. There are thirteen short chapters, each with colorful photographs, which emphasize abilities or features unique to certain species. These abilities and features raise an obvious question: This just randomly happened?

We see the acute ability of the “dance of the bees” that indicate rather sophisticated knowledge of mathematics. We see the unique scales of the pangolin and engineered jawbone of horned beetle. Creatures by Design notes that hummingbird wings are set up completely differently from other birds.

Polar bears, monarch butterflies, bats, flying frogs all challenge basic evolutionary thinking. This book is a quick, colorful read. It may not answer every question, but it certainly raises them. The closer we look at distinct features of animals and certain symbiotic relationships, one has to at least consider the possibility of design.
