Evolutionists argue that finding common chemical fasteners and molecular building blocks in biological organisms points to a common evolution. Atoms, molecules, and the functional groups in amino acids, enzymes, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are indeed common threads in organic matter. But having building blocks in common more preferably points to a common Master Designer who used a common system to create all of life, and “fasten” it together. This is the most straightforward conclusion from observing the extremely complex yet elegant biological structures in the creation!
Mankind is a designer and builder of bridges, buildings, automobiles, airplanes, machinery, computers, playground equipment, locomotives, railcars, ships, traffic lights, and so on. And all these objects of design from the intelligence of mankind use standardized fundamental fasteners, including, bolts, screws, nuts, washers, rivets, studs, and nails. These common fasteners must conform to standard and uniform requirements for performance. Otherwise, how would we know whether a bolt or screw was able to do the job intended? And if we wanted to replicate a certain object, how would we know it would come out the same unless there were certain standardized parts? Modular homes are replicated using common raw materials from common factory-produced parts, just as trees are replicated using common raw materials in soil, water, and air, and common cellular “factories”.
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee F-16 develops and improves standards for general-purpose fasteners. There are over 75 standards which can be specified in ASTM F-16, so that common, replicatable, and high-quality design and construction can take place. If mankind designs and builds many various structures using fundamental fasteners in common, shouldn’t we assume that the evidence of common chemical and molecular “fasteners” confirms the requirement of a common Master Designer and Manufacturer who has used a parallel design strategy in the creation of the myriad forms of life?
This is the straightforward conclusion, which the Bible says we intuitively know to be true in Romans 1:19-20.
