Abstract
It seems that, in nature, no sooner is a rule formulated than an exception is identified. Sexual reproduction, for instance, is the rule among the higher living beings; yet parthenogenesis occurs occasionally. If the nature of living beings were controlled by some mechanical process of selection, it would be hard to see why there should be so much variety. But since creationists hold that the nature of living organisms is due to a Creator who might be considered an Artist and likes variety, all of this variety in nature is what should be expected. In fact, it might be one of the predictions of the Creationistic viewpoint that the more closely nature is examined the more variety will be found. At the same time, these facts show that the Creator is not a machine-like being, but one to whom personality may be ascribed.
