While humans engineer hydraulic systems for machinery like car brakes, the Creator integrated these exact fluid-pressure principles into nature. For example, spiders lack rigid skeletons and rely on pumping fluid to extend their legs, while plants like the dwarf mistletoe use high hydraulic pressure to launch seeds up to 50 feet. These complex, fluid-driven mechanisms imply intentional design rather than random natural selection.
