From the article:

“The report on Zipp’s new wheels is a clear example of how evolutionists are content to plug a massive void of empirical evidence with their faith that nature somehow exercises agency, “At the unveiling of the 454s in London Wednesday night, Zipp engineers repeatedly turned to the idea of biomimicry, an old concept of approaching engineering problems by looking to how nature has solved them.” But nature can’t solve anything because it has no mind or will—it can’t think, plan, or build.”

“Fortunately, God hasn’t patented any of His designs and He is likely pleased and honored when humans apply them into useful technologies—if He is duly credited. “

The author has inadvertently stumbled on a tenet of natural selection and evolution!

Bunk.

Poorly adapted beasties tend to die early. Better adapted beasties tend to live long enough to pass on their better adaptations.

Give it a few million years (which I guess for your purposes can be compressed into the time since October 4004 BC) and the world is filled with the better adapted structures.

No planning or thinking required, just reproduction and environmental culling.
