"Made In Heaven" by Ray Comfort and Jeff Seto

About the book: Science shamelessly steals from God’s creation, yet refuses to give God the glory!

• How the glow of a cat’s eyes innovates road reflectors
• The naturally sticky inspirations for Velcro and barbed wire
• A fly’s ear, the lizard’s foot, the moth’s eye, and other natural examples are inspiring improvements and new technologies in our lives

Engineers and inventors have long examined God’s creation to understand and copy complex, proven mechanics of design in the science known as biomimicry. Much of this inspiration is increasingly drawn from amazing aspects of nature, including insects to plants to man in search of wisdom and insight. We are surrounded daily by scientific advancements that have become everyday items, simply because man is copying from God’s incredible creation, without acknowledging the Creator. 

My thoughts: Master Books, a division of New Leaf Publishing Group, specializes in books on topics from Biblical studies to the scientific and for the very young, the school student, and on to the theologian of multiple degrees.

Made In Heaven addresses the sciences of biological (study of life) and engineering (study of man engineering or creating products) and shows how much like God's creation many of today's scientific advancements and inventions are similar.

The book's supposition is that God created and man copied His creation - or scientists doing some reverse engineering by studying God's creation to invent products for man to use based on what has been observed in natural science (or in God's creation).

Without direct testimony from the actual inventors of man's products as to the source of their ideas for inventions, one might think it pure conjecture to assume that man has copied God's creation.  However, Made in Heaven absolutely does show astounding similarities between how objects have been manufactured based on incredible counter-point objects (insect eyes, leaves, fish scales, etc.) from nature (God's creation). 

The book has absolutely stunning photography showing close-ups of the human eyeball, insects, ants, fish.  Then there are drawings that illustrate ideas with charts, graphs, etc. that are clearly defined.  The print is somewhat small and thin making it sometimes difficult to read.   

While at first glance one might think the book is designed for the young elementary to middle grades student, it is not.  All ages can glean from its contents.  I see it sparking the imagination of a student to read further into how stuff is made and designed.  I see it as drawing the scientific minded into a further examination of a field of study.  I recommend it as a book to add to the school and home library.
