Fibonacci Sequence in Nature: Spirals and the Case for a Creator

The sequence begins with the numbers one, one, two,

three, five, eight, thirteen, twenty-one,

thirty-four, and continues indefinitely.

Each number is obtained by adding the last two digits together.

If we were to take a perfect or golden rectangle, break it down

into smaller squares based on Fibonacci's sequence, and

divide each with an arc, the patterns begin to take shape.

We begin to see Fibonacci's spiral.

The spiral in and of itself is insignificant.

Its importance is revealed in where we find it.

Take, for example, the sunflower.

The display of its florets are in perfect spirals of fifty-five,

thirty-four, and twenty-one, the sequence of Fibonacci.

The fruitlets of the pineapple create this same spiral based on the

sequence. The pine cone does the same.

As currents move through the ocean and the tide rolls onto the shore,

the waves that bring in the tide curve into a spiral that

can be mathematically diagrammed onto a plot at the points

one, one, two, three, five, eight,

thirteen, twenty-one, thirty-four, and fifty-five.

Buds on trees, sand dollars, starfish, petals on

flowers, and especially the nautilus shell

are formed with

this exact same blueprint. With each segment of

growth, the nautilus adds to itself one more value

on

Fibonacci's scale. This blueprint can be seen around

us on a small scale every day. This sequence, our

blueprint, appears to be the trademark of a designer,

a proof of a

creator.
