Bumpy and spiny Taiwanese cucumber: the evolution at work?

The surface of the Taiwanese cucumber (小黃瓜) is bumpy and spiny.  Is this God’s design or evolution at work?  This design can prevent from being eaten by animals.  The first bumpy/spiny ones might be created by mutation and became the only survivors to produce as the smooth ones were all eaten.  I wrote the following letter-to-the-editor to Newsweek nearly 20 years ago.

There shouldn’t be a conflict between creation and evolution theory.  God is a responsible and tireless creator; a perfectionist.  Through evolution He makes sure all living things He created can adapt to the ever changing environment.  A God’s work is never done!
