Biologists were curious how the Borneo’s giant pitcher plant got its nutrients. They discovered an amazing process whereby the plant lures rats and tree shrews with sweet nectar, not to eat them, but to feed them. During the day, the tree shrews come to lick the nectar from the rim and defecate into the plant. During the night, rats come to lick the sweet nectar and also use the pitcher plant as a toilet. The plant needs the rat, and the rat needs the plant. Did...
Read MoreSTICKY FEET!
Tree frogs live in trees, sticking firmly to branches and leaves – even walking upside down on these surfaces. How do they keep from falling off? It’s all in the feet. Close inspection of a tree frog’s foot reveals pads with cracks and crevices from which mucus oozes. This mucus first cleans the dust and dirt off the surface to which the frog wants to cling. Then more mucus oozes out – creating a thin layer of “adhesive” to grip the surface. These...
Read MoreNo Free Rides!!
Ships traversing the ocean have to be regularly cleaned of barnacles, or they lose significant streamlining and efficiency. Even many whales can be seen with barnacles clinging to their skin for a free ride. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of whale species have barnacles clinging to their skin, and each of these whales are home to their own specific species of barnacle. Yet, the pilot whale is barnacle-free. Why don’t barnacles cling to pilot whales? It’s...
Read More#2 of the “Seven signs of evolution in action”
People are more often picking the taller and possibly more potent Tibetan Snow Lotus plant. “The result? Researchers have reported that the height of the snow lotus has nearly halved over the past century.2,3” “…But the Tibetan Snow Lotus6 is most certainly not an example of ‘evolution in action’…That’s because here, as always, natural selection7 can only remove existing genes; it cannot create new ones. And now that the Tibetan Snow Lotus population is losing the...
Read MoreMutation, Adaptations, and Natural Selection PROVEN TRUE!!…But Evolution…?
Changes have been observed to have occurred in Nebraskan Deer Mice! There was a mutation. Natural Selection did favor a different colored mouse population. But the mutation did not create new genetic information, but a change or loss in pre-existing information as we can see with this quote: “Note the malfunction of the already-existing pigment regulator, in this case involving the deletion of an amino acid.13,14 Evolutionists need to find mutations that...
Read More“Why are the very oldest trees the most complicated?”
That is what the secular researcher asked having studied the now extinct Claadoxylopsid trees (supposedly dating to 393-372 million years ago). Its extinction, in fact, is also a big question mark for secular scientists because their fossils are found already complex and fully formed with no more primitive ancestors and their fossils have been found in sand and some buried in volcanic ash. In fact, the ash preserved them so well that scientists could make out every cell...
Read MoreHeating Up to the Point of Death!
Remember Tuesday’s post about how bees cluster and vibrate to create heat – TAKE A LOOK AT THIS! This is one of my favorite videos! The video suggests that they have evolved this behavior, but I think it may be more reasonable to say that they were designed with that intelligence/instinct. Think about it, evolutionists have a huge challenge trying to explain unlearned animal instinct! ...
Read MoreA Bee-sized Heater!
As we saw a couple weeks ago, it is more reasonable to believe that bees and flowers were designed together rather than evolved. (See post from Tuesday, February 13th.) How does a honeybee, a cold-blooded insect, survive the winter? Bees like to keep their hive at 95°F. But how do they do this? As the temperature becomes cooler, the honeybees form a cluster. Those inside the ball of bees are kept warm, and they rotate with the bees on the outside of the ball so...
Read MoreMiraculously Cooperating!
“Darwin’s theory of biological change was based on competition, or survival of the fittest, among the individuals making up a species. He admitted: “If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory, for such could not have been produced through natural selection” (The Origin of Species, 1859, Masterpieces of Science edition, 1958, p. 164).” Beneficial...
Read MoreWhich Came First…?
If certain plants need certain insects to pollinate them or else they die…did they just happen to have evolved miraculously at the same time? Evolutionists have also had a confusing understanding of the supposed evolutionary history (of which organisms came first – see http://www.icr.org/article/flower-fossils-100000000-years-out/). See these amazing examples of symbiotic relationships. “Some species, you will have to agree, have very unique harmonious relationships...
Read MoreAssumed, Not Supported
Evolution is often simply assumed rather than supported by evidence! I think this is so often the case. In reviewing an evolutionary book, one research notes that the book “is not about how eyes evolved, but rather how the author imagines that eyes had evolved. In fact, throughout this work, the author takes evolution as a given (i.e. eyes exist, therefore they evolved) and does not attempt to test it in any way. Schwab freely interprets anatomical features, often in...
Read MoreAn Animal that Sweats Blood?!
What animal looks like it sweats blood? The 7,000-pound hippopotamus. The five-inch-thick hippo skin has sweat glands that ooze a red slime, which later turns brown. This oozing slime protects the hippo from sun (as a sun block), from insects (as a natural repellent) and produces antibiotics to stop deadly bacteria. How many millions of years did it take to get the glands just right? God knew what the hippo would need and provided for his protection. Read more...
