He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

This is a delightful statement of the interdependence of the creation. A simple set, a few sentences which demonstrate the remarkable way in which all elements of the creation demonstrate a planned development that is totally at odds with the randomness of evolutionary theory.

The handiwork of the LORD, God, the Almighty, demonstrates a ‘correct from the beginning’ that is absolutely necessary for the creation of the universe where every part, parcel and piece has to fit with a beautiful divine click. The cattle came into being when God said, Let there be, and there was. And the grass was there to feed them—not a minute too soon or late.

Another point is that there has not been enough time for the try, test, and try again approach to do the job. If you consider evolution as a t, t, & t method, there is not enough time to test all the first order dependencies, let alone the dependencies upon dependencies upon dependencies that the real world displays. Wild asses need to have developed a complex order leading to reproduction while bees are working out their part in the pollination of grasses (I think they or some other mechanism must participate)

To demonstrate the rapid way in which complexity increases as a function the number of elements, consider the following. As a chef, my menu listed a total of 13 possible ingredients for the guests to chose their morning omelet from. Those 13 ingredients led to total number of omelets of 8,192 different omelets. Adding a 14th ingredients would double the number of omelets. Consider the complexity facing the ardent evolutionist?
