[71:14-17] Evolution is a marvelous assembly line of creation designed by God. See 29:18-20; 41:9-10; 7:69; 15:26; 24:45; 32:7-9. Evolution of species through mutation and cumulative selection, as subscribed by the modern scientific community, provides sufficient evidence for the existence of immanent intelligent design in nature. The theory of evolution provides more evidence for an intelligent designer than a fingerprint on a canvas could provide clues about the identity of its human painter. Inferring the existence and some attributes of an intelligent designer from nature is as equally scientific as inferring the existence and some attributes of an unknown creature from its footprints left in the sand. For a debate on Evolution versus Intelligent Design, see the Appendix titled "The Blind Watch-Watchers or Smell the Cheese: An Intelligent and Delicious Argument for Intelligent Design in Evolution" by Edip Yuksel.
