Evolution has no answer for the transcendent laws of mathematics. Take, for example, the famous golden ratio, represented by the Greek letter Phi (๐). This ratio, commonly called the Fibonacci number, can be expressed as:
๐ = (1+โ5)/2 = 1.61803398874989484820...
This number, occurring seemingly everywhere in Godโs creation, has been known since very ancient times. Mathematicians love it for its simplicity, purity, and transcendent properties. Just as the number Pi (๐ = 3.141592653589793...) describes the relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a circle, ๐ represents a special relationship to the basic shapes and proportions of nature (seen in rectangles, pentagons, spirals, and so much more). This particular ratio appears in aesthetic architecture, in the proportions in the human body, in the arms of spiral galaxies and in the development of hurricane winds. It is seen in the spirals of seashells, in the seed patterns in the head of a sunflower, in the growth patterns of pinecones, pineapples, and cauliflower, and in even in the dimensions of seaworthy vessels, just to name a few examples.
Creationists love ๐ because of its common occurrence throughout the created world. It is reflected in the number of cones to rods in the intricacies of the human eye. It is found in the spiral of the cochlea within the ear structure of humans and many vertebrates. The proportions of the human hand and fingers, the distribution of the limbs on the torso, and even the facial features of man are all measured by ๐. The bodies of animals and insects alike exist in this golden ratio. It is also heard in the relationship of the musical scale and is pleasing to the ear. The ancient Greek, Pythagoras observed, โEverything is arranged according to number and mathematical shape.โ This is the hand of God seen in creationโas though His signature, even found in the structure of DNA.
On the other hand, evolutionists despise such patterns in nature. The very thought flies in the face of chance and happenstance in the supposed evolution of man and the universe. What possible natural mechanism could explain the recurring use of the Fibonacci number? A cursory search on the web reveals such comments as, โIt's the myth that just won't die.โ and โGreat. Now I'm picturing God as a bored programmer sitting in a cubicle copying and pasting lines of code into his Sim game.โ [1]
No. Evolution does not like to acknowledge any evidence of a Creator. The golden ratio is another example of the marvelous universe created by our glorious God! โThe heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth His handyworkโ (Psalm 19:1).
