As we have pointed out, Darwinists see “coincidence” as the
principle that has created all living creatures, their complex anatom-
ical structures and genetic infor-
mation. They believe that acts
that in reality require forms of in-
telligence—such as calculation,
planning, design and judg-
ment—are brought to a success-
ful conclusion by coincidences.
Defenders of this absurd under-
standing attribute extraordinary
roles and meanings to “coinci-

Yet the evolutionists claim that living creatures’ complex systems were
formed in phases, by coincidental mechanisms. In blind defense of their the-
ory, they claim that living creatures are products of coincidence—even
though this assertion is untenable even in the case of a simple clock.
