These unique beetles mate, and then the female lays her eggs in the bark of the still smoldering wood. The eggs hatch and burrow into the tree, free to munch away on trees without interference from the tree’s protective defenses. On the underside of these beetles are tiny pits equipped with infrared radiation detection sensors. This infrared radiation detection system can detect the invisible heat rays given off by a forest fire up to 50 miles away! Do infrared...
Read More45 minutes without a heartbeat?
Marine iguanas are excellent swimmers and search for their food underwater. Sharks, however, love to eat marine iguanas and have sensitive hearing. They can hear the heartbeat of an iguana 12 feet away. So what’s an iguana to do? Stop its heart from beating? Incredibly, an iguana can stop its heart for up to 45 minutes! How do evolutionists explain this ability? A creature’s ability to stop its heart requires some major internal modifications. For an iguana...
Read MoreHave you heard of the boxer crab?
It carries around pom poms like a high school cheerleader – but its pom poms are deadly sea anemones. The crab uses these anemones to sting small animals in order to eat them. The sea anemones then share in the meal. This is a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship. The tiny boxer crab, measuring only one inch across, would be an easy lunch without the protection of the stinging sea anemones. The threat of a one-two punch from the sea anemone’s “pom poms” is...
Read MoreFEED ME!!
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 MoreA New Home!!
“A hermit crab cannot make its own shell to live in but has to find an empty shell to occupy. Once found, he backs into the shell; his twisted body is ideally designed to fit into a spiral shell. Often, a hermit crab carries a sea anemone on his shell. Sea anemones are covered with stinging cells, which release poison and kill the crab’s enemies when touched. When a hermit crab has to move to a new home, he will “plant” the anemone on his new shell. How did...
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...
