ONE MORE TIME

Randomness implies a lack of planning or order but when things occur with some kind of order we can assume some intelligence is driving the result.  I"ve been wondering about the sameness of reactions by different kinds of animals to danger, fear, hunger and similar life situations.  If each of our origins  were different and we evolved in an accidental, random way , how could we have developed these same physical and emotional responses so much alike? There should have been a variety of ways to evolve to meet whatever need there had been.  It seems impossible that some intelligence did not guide this development.

Even the lowest form of animals seem to have a method of communication.  How, unless it were by design,  would every creature find a way to "talk" only to like creatures?  I don't know, but I would guess that only sparrows understand "sparrow" and blue birds "bluebird.  Just as we have different languages, each type of creature has its own.  Could that be coincidence or is it a plan for birds of a feather to flock together?  Have you  ever,ever,ever seen different kinds of birds in a single flock "together"?  The ability to communicate with each of our own kind is essential to our existence.  Without expression, our brains would be useless except to ourselves.  Only you would enjoy your best jokes.

Coincidental sameness among living things, which evolved in a random fashion, can be imagined only by someone who believes in the Easter Bunny.  Any designer will reuse the basics of good designs of the past.  If something works in one case and you can reuse it, wouldn't you?

This overlapping of design among species is just one more piece of evidence which points to an intelligent designer who used and reused a single design, with minor modifications, for a variety of creatures.  It's not quite the same, but similar. to the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
