At first glance, the immeasurably rich diversity in nature sometimes seems to be utterly inordinate, as, for example, the jumbled, swirling array of organisms that we can observe through a microscope in a drop of water appears to confirm at first glance. But looked at more attentively and studied more closely, it is not difficult to recognise the basic tenet of an orderliness prevailing everywhere. As soon as we look closer, we find amazing order! The leaves of a particular species of plant are always serrated and veined in the same way; among insects of the same genus we find that one looks like the other. The efflorescence of certain metals show the same crystal forms; salt always crystallises into the same rectangular shape. The honeycombs of all bee colonies always have the same familiar shape. If you look at the starry firmament at night through a large telescope, you will see the constant unchanging shape of the spiral nebulae. The astronomer calculates and measures the planetary orbits for decades and centuries in advance with uncanny accuracy, without needing to allow for any unforeseen deviations from their current course.
We are surrounded by countless examples proving to us time and time again, that order is distributed everywhere in nature. We human
