by Creation
In the early 1960s, engineer Robert Kearns was driving in misty rainy weather. He was irritated because his windshield wipers only had 2 speeds – fast or slow. On slow speed, they scraped the windshield. When he turned them off, the rain was too heavy to see the road.
So he asked himself, ” Why not copy the blinking of my eyes? Aren’t they basically wipers that operate intermittently to keep my eyes clear?”
When we blink, saline fluid washes across our eyes to remove dust while moisturizing and protecting. Our blinking is intermittent depending on a number of factors such as humidity and the amount of dust. Kearns began tinkering with wiper motors until they could work at intervals. This was difficult because compact integrated circuits had not yet been invented. Finally, in 1964, he patented the first intermittent windshield wipers with adjustable delay. Today, all cars have this same feature.
The intermittent wiper did not happen by time and chance. We know the inventor’s name: Robert Kearns. When we see a windshield wiper, we know there was a creator of the windshield wiper. In the same way, when we see a blinking eye, which is enormously more complex than a windshield wiper, we know it also had a Creator, and His name is Jesus Christ.
