The word “mimic” means to imitate or copy something. Maybe you have a little brother or sister who sometimes mimics or copies what you say. The prefix “bio” means life. When you put these two words together, biomimicry means “to copy life.” In nature, we find all kinds of amazing designs and remarkable capabilities. Plants and animals have certain features that scientists study to see how they work. These researchers then use what they learn to create things that help humans. We have learned that many designs in nature are more complicated and efficient than anything humans have been able to invent. That means that Whoever designed nature must be more intelligent than humans. These designs could not be the product of millions of years of evolution.  When we copy nature’s design, we are really copying God’s handiwork. “For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.” Hebrews 3:4
