Applying Engineering Principles in Creation

We have seen that evidence of the Master Engineer is evident in creation, and the more we learn, the more we should be amazed at creation. People use biomimetics to copy traits of creatures such as the bombardier beetle for fuel injector technology and studying bats to build flying robots.

Also seen is irreducible complexity (like the bombardier beetle) where biological mechanisms must be functioning at the same time or nothing works. God uses engineering principles in his design work, but Darwinists foolishly say reusing designs is evidence of evolution!

When a design works, an engineer reuses it again; there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Our Creator used successful design principles in different organisms in specific and complex ways that Darwinists cannot understand. Oh, they pretend to know, and use speculations that they pass off as research, but they are simply denying credit due to God. Some creationists are building a biological design theory using biblical and engineering principles.

Most of us know the phrase “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” It means that we hope to take the solution for one problem and readily apply it to another. For efficiency and simplicity, most people will take this approach if they can. This is especially true for engineers, computer programmers, or others in technical professions.

Whoever engineered the first wheel used the same methods that a skilled engineer would use today. Engineers must choose (or specify) the design, materials, and processes to build wheels. But consider this: If they make the choice to not reinvent the wheel, then their specification to re-use that same design in another application is still an act of engineering.
