Ian T. Taylor: One unusual argument that the universe is the work of the creator rather than aimless chance goes like this. Only with the highest quality research and work, often over many years, can man begin to approach the excellence of things in nature. One would think, for example, that it would be a simple job for modern science to create a fireproof fabric better than anything found in nature. After all, no living things in nature, besides man, crash and burn. However, 80% of those who die in airplane crash fires are killed by blinding poisonous smoke, much of which comes from their seat cushions.

The foam in the cushion begins to produce toxic smoke when the treated upholstery fabric gives out at 1,300° and allows the flames to come through it. It took two years of work before an upholstery manufacturer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida came up with something better. The new fabric, which has since been used on some airliner seats, has stood up to 5,000° blowtorch flame for several minutes without catching fire. Amazingly, the fabric itself is a very dense weave of wool backed with flame-resistant yarns. Its inventor says it's one of God's ideas. There are things about wool that are beyond what man can do.

Sheep have no need to produce wool with properties that could help protect them in a plane crash, as would have to be the case if evolution were correct. However, since sheep are part of a larger design in the creator's provision for man, he has given their wool abilities needed by man as well as sheep.
