Illogical Wisdom
The counterintuitive theory of stochastic resonance shows that adding just the right amount of noise can make a weak signal easier to detect, a fact proven by science in the 1980s. This principle is used in technology and is believed to be naturally built into the human brain to help us focus on a single voice in a noisy environment. Such sophisticated natural design points to the wisdom of a Creator rather than random chance.
Coral Grows Faster than Thought
Coral is made up of tiny animals called polyps that depend on algae living inside them for nutrition and calcium to build reefs. Recent research shows coral can grow much faster than previously thought, reducing estimates for the Great Barrier Reef’s age by a factor of 40.
Flying Sheep?
The difficulty humans have had in creating fireproof fabrics superior to natural materials highlights the complexity and excellence found in nature. Despite advanced research, it took years to develop a fabric outperforming wool, which naturally resists extreme heat and fire. This suggests the universe’s design reflects a Creator’s intentional provision, with natural materials like sheep’s wool serving purposes beyond what evolution can explain.
Humans: The Artists
Stone tools and artifacts survive much longer than wooden or organic items, which can give a misleading impression of early humans as primitive brutes. However, evidence like the sophisticated cave paintings at Lascaux shows that prehistoric people possessed artistic skill, culture, and intelligence.
Plant Sniffs Out Prey
The parasitic dodder plant can “smell” specific host plants and grow toward them, without even having a nervous system. This demonstrates God’s remarkable provision for even the lowliest plants.
Electric Singing and Arguing
Knifefish communicate with electric signals, singing to mates and jamming rivals’ signals.
Trying to Spin an Evolutionary History out of Spider Silk
A fossilized spider web identical to modern webs was found in amber, defying evolutionary explanations. The lack of change over “millions of years” supports creation over evolution.
Doctor Lobster?
Lobsters can detect and avoid diseased peers, helping prevent the spread of illness. This built-in health awareness shows the Creator’s concern for even sea creatures.
Hummingbird Wristwatches
Hummingbirds can remember both where and when flowers replenish nectar, showing episodic memory. Such mental capacity is a purposeful gift from the Creator.
Another Evolution Claim Goes Extinct
The “extinct” rat-squirrel turned up alive in a market in Laos, undermining evolutionary timelines. This highlights the fallibility of human claims and the reliability of God’s truth.
