Exhibit 18: Balance of Nature

There are millions of situations where different species are dependent on one another, or prevent one another from overpopulating. Things like life spans, birth rates, the food chain, and metabolism are delicately balanced! Is this the work of random chance, or an intelligent designer?

The following statistics are from a computer program which simulates Evolution by using a random number generator as the mechanism for mutations (also presented in Exhibit 14 Probability).

The chance against each specie for this sample is only 1000 to 1 which is far smaller than the trillions to 1 it would really take. For this simulation, the computer was told to "evolve" 100 species represented by the numbers 1 to 100. To simulate the food chain and progression, it must select the numbers in sequence.

Total Species Simulated	100
Over populated	46
Ate too much	44
Lived too long	47
Re-evolved	16,453
Food Chain Errors	34,115
Average mutations per specie	3,466

From the above we can see that 79 of the 100 species over populated, over ate, and/or lived too long which would have disastrous results for all life!

If you don't believe God created all living things, male and female, in 6 days....
How many millions of years was it between the first male and the first female?
