I saw a stickbug on the side mirror of my car recently. Amazing! It looked just like a stick (just like in the pictures, but it's another thing altogether to see it in person).
It dawned on me as I was looking at this little creature just how unintelligible the theory of evolution is. Everything about it, from the way it looks to the way it moves, cries out, "Creature!"
It is absurd that such a creature could self-direct its genetic process over time to eventually look like a stick. Even to suggest that God made it in some other form and then guided its development to the point where now it looks like a stick, even that is a stretch. I think it's more rational simply to say, "God made him."
The stickbug looks like a stick because God made it so, in order that, on the one hand, it may exist successfully in the world, and, on the other, we may praise God's glorious wisdom seen in created things.
