The right cells must be produced in the right order at the right places. First they assemble into tissues that will in turn assemble themselves into organs and limbs.

Austin Allibone – THE UNION BIBLE COMPANION
How did the spider survive millions of years before his web spinning evolved? – Gary Pulliam

Who put the destination in their minds? – Gary Pulliam
Many feel SCIENCE deals with the HOW of our existence—while RELIGION deals with the WHY. – Gary Pulliam
