There was a time when... "Lion" and Lamb" did lie down together in God's Creation. Genesis 1:30-31 Gid said, I have given every green plant for food. And it was so... and indeed it was very good. The animals would not have killed each other before sin entered the world.

Charles Darwin in 1860 said The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick! He could not figure out how the spectacular feathers would help in "the survival of the fittest" theory and then settled on the idea that the more beautiful, the more offspring. Which has also been disproven. The peacock's spectacular fan-like tail, complete with patterns that look like eyes, has all the hallmarks of having been designed- by a Designer.
