THE 'BLIND WATCHMAKER' WHO IS ALSO DEAF AND DUMB the profound objective t<mark>his</mark> served in the scheme of creation. Why a massive meteorite should have brought about the end of the age of the dinosaurs precisely at the time when t<mark>his</mark> end was needed? If predesigned by God, as we believe, one purpose it could and did serve was to give other forms of life a chance to develop their evolutionary potentials to the maximum limits, undeterred by dinosaurs. . The second highly essential purpose it served, but was understood much later in time, was to bury dinosaurs deep d<mark>own</mark> by the sea shore to gradually convert them to oil, which man of that age would have so direly needed. Such is the work of an All-Knowing Creator. None can attribute t<mark>his</mark> perfect exercise to mere chance. It is impossible for it to have happened accidentally, while now we can clearly read a perfect well-coordinated design in t<mark>his</mark> entire exercise, serving at least two essential purposes in the scheme of things. How on earth could t<mark>his</mark> be the work of natural selection!. H theo. OW WE WISH Dawkins had applied <mark>his</mark> all-pervasive theory to the real mysteries of nature which he so competently describes instead of the phantom games <mark>his</mark> mind creates. Incidentally, we draw <mark>his</mark> attention to figure 5 on page 61 of <mark>his</mark> book, which he has presented to justify <mark>his</mark> theory of accumulating small change. Each figure sh<mark>own</mark> there, starting with the one resembling a swallowtail, could have at random created any other figure sh<mark>own</mark> in t<mark>his</mark> group of seventeen. T<mark>his</mark> is a deliberate attempt to mislead the innocent computer which is only attuned to <mark>his</mark> master's voice. What concept of genes was fed into that will ever remain a mystery because the behaviour of genes is unpredictable and they do not work in a two-dimensional world of lines and figures. The world of genes is far more complex than the land of biomorphs where evidently the figures at every generation are doctored 542
