That Evolution Could NOT Create
These Features
There is wonderful Evidence in Nature, when studying creatures large and small of many species, that Evolution could not have created these features in these amazing beings!
This collection of brief reviews of these features is by no means complete. But you will be fascinated as you discover things you never knew about these very unusual animals, birds, insects, and some creatures for which we hardly have even a category.
You will enjoy reading and discovering these "proofs of the Creative Hand of God" in so many species!
Desert Rats Make Water - Desert rats in Western U.S. can manufacture their own water! Oh, how we wish we could do it as inexpensively! Our worldwide water shortage is going to keep worsening. Learn how they do it.
Flying Newborn Spiders - Spiders go higher in the sky than any other living creature on our planet. Here is how it is done. When the baby spider is hatched, he just crawls up to a high point. It may be a grass stem or the side of a tree trunk, or a leaf on a plant. Then he upends - and . . . away he goes!
Globe Swimming Eels Coming Full Circle Globe-Swimming Eels Coming Full-Circle. Eels from North American and European rivers travel out into the Atlantic and swim south, to the Sargasso Sea. It is an immense patch of water in the tropical Atlantic Ocean, between Bermuda and the West Indies, which is filled with a variety of seaweed and small creatures. Arriving there, the eels know exactly what to do.
How Swiftlets Zero in on Home Nest in the Dark With fast wings, such as swallows have, the swiftlet flies at high speed into the cave. Rapidly it flies directly to one tiny nest among hundreds. As soon as the bird enters the cave, it begins making a series of high-pitched clicks. The little bird has the ability to vary the frequency of the sounds and, as it approaches the wall, it increases the number of clicks per second until they are about 20 per second. The time required for the clicks to bounce off the wall and return reveals the distance to the wall.
Marsupials- the Very Unique Pouched Mammals. The marsupials are the pouched mammals. Two of the best-known are the American opossum (the only marsupial in North America) and when it is born it is no larger than a tiny bean! It is blind, deaf, hairless, and looks somewhat like a tiny worm. A newborn opossum is smaller than a honey bee, and six will fit in a spoon. There are 12-15 in each litter.
Miraculous 55 Day Gestation for a Petrel Chick. The black-rumped petrel is 2 feet (6 dm) long with a wingspread of 4 feet (12 dm). An ocean bird, has a nesting pattern that is totally inexplicable by any theory of evolution. Call it a miraculous 55-day gestation for a petrel chick - designed by our Creator.
Porpoises-Have-a- Marvelous-Melon Porpoises (bottle-nosed dolphins) never hurt humans, but crush vicious barracudas and kill deadly sharks. It is sonar (underwater radar) that enables them to successfully plan their attacks. With their high-pitched squeaks, they can identify the type of fish, and measure its distance and size.
Porpoises See Sound Pictures Porpoises have a special region in their head (called the "melon") which contains a special type of fat. Because the speed of sound in that fatty tissue is different than that of the rest of the body, this fat is used as a "sound lens" to collect sonar signals from a distance, which are then transmitted by nerves to the brain - producing a small TV screen "sound pictures."
Rat's Teeth Inspire Self-Sharpening Saw Blades. The teeth of a rat are designed so the top two front teeth go behind the bottom two, at just the right angle to produce self-sharpening teeth. Engineers at General Electric wanted to design a self-sharpening saw blade in order to obtain exactly the right angel in relation to the metal it is cutting; so they studied the teeth of a rat.
Riblets for Speed in Water or Air. You do not know what a "riblet" is? It is not an animal. airlines in the United States are saving $300,000 a year because of riblets. Here is the story behind them. Scientists at NASA tried to figure out how certain water creatures could swim so rapidly. They studied some fast-moving fish for months.
Small Creatures with Radar or Sonar. The blackpoll warbler weighs only three-quarters of an ounce; yet twice each year it flies 2,400 miles [3752 km] non-stop for 4 days and nights. These little birds spend the summer in Alaska and then, in the fall, on one day they all know to begin flying eastward. Arriving in New England, they head out over the ocean for a non-stop journey. Climbing high in the air, and quickly becoming separated from one another, they climb higher in the sky.
Sponges with No Brains. The sponge is a creature which lives in many parts of the world, and is regularly harvested in the Gulf of Mexico. This little fellow has no heart, brain, liver, bones, and hardly anything else. Some sponges grow to several feet in diameter; yet you can take one, cut it up in pieces, and squeeze it through silk cloth, thus separating every cell from every other cell, and then throw part or all of the mash back into seawater. The cells will all unite back into a sponge!
Sunlight Powered Batteries in Plants? Brains? Scientists estimate that over 400 million-million horsepower of solar energy reaches the earth every day. Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight is transformed into carbohydrates (the basis of all the food on our planet). This takes place in the chloroplasts. Each one is lens-shaped, something like an almost flat cone with the rounded part on the upper side. Sunlight enters from above.
Termites Blind with no Brains Build Skyscrapers with Air Conditioning. It all starts with two termites, a king and queen. They lay eggs, but never teach their offspring anything. How can they, when they have almost no brains and are all blind? Working together the young build large termite towers, part of which rise as much as 20 feet in the air. Each side may be 12 feet across.
Trilobites Sophisticated Eye Lenses The trilobite is abundant in the very lowest fossil levels; but according to Levi Setti, it's eye is said to have 'possessed the most sophisticated eye lenses ever produced by nature," which required "knowledge of Fermat's principle, Abbe's sine law, Snell's law of of refraction and the optics of birefringent crystal."
Uniquely Designed Creatures show an Intelligent Designer. The quail builds her nest and sets on her eggs on the ground; so they must all hatch at the same time. Not until the entire dozen or so are laid, does the mother quail begin setting. Why does she wait until then? Who told her to do this? >However, all the eggs do not develop at the same rate. Yet all hatched out at the same time.
Warm-Blooded Creatures with Counter-Current Exchange. A man standing with his bare feet in cold water would not survive long, but a wading bird can stand in cold water all day, and the whale and seal swim in the arctic with naked fins and flippers, continually bathing them in freezing water. All such warm- blooded creatures have to maintain a steady body temperature. How do they manage to do this?
What? Their Kidneys in Front of their Mouth? Because crayfish and lobsters live their lives moving backward, they have an unusual internal plumbing system. The kidney is located in front of the mouth, so the gill circulation can carry the wastes away from the body. If the kidney outlet was near the back end as in most creatures, the wastes would be carried to the gills.
