GOD’S MIRACULOUS POWERS!
Did you know that the Golden Plover is a bird that migrates from Alaska to Hawaii for the winter? This flight is 2400 miles over open sea and there are no islands in this flight path. This bird cannot swim, it must stay in the air all the way. To make its way from Alaska to Hawaii requires 250,000 consecutive wing beats and lasts 88 hours (3.6 days). The Plover must store up fat in Alaska to provide the energy to make the flight. If it stores up too much fat, it can’t complete the flight. If it stores up too little, it can’t make the flight. They must fly at the most economical cruising speed which they invariably do. How do they know this?

Did you know that even though there are about 200 species of true woodpeckers they all have the same construction and design and purpose. Their feet; tail; skull; beak; neck muscles; nostrils; shock absorbers; tongue play a major role in their gathering of food because they eat as they go. The woodpecker doesn’t store up food it pecks and eats! He can eat 900 beetle larvae or 1000 ants at a single sitting. He can eat up to 2000 ants in a single day. He plays a major role in the control of insects and the preserving of many of the world’s forest. The Evolutionists would like us to believe that their body parts slowly evolved over millions of years. If this was so they would have died the first year. No tongue; no dinner! No shock absorber, no brains left! No stiff tail, he couldn’t hold his position on the tree! No strong beak; no hole! No strong neck muscles; broken neck!

Did you know there are many large fish with big teeth that roam the ocean floors. As they feed on smaller fish and shrimp, their mouths begin to accumulate food debris and parasites. This calls for a visit to the local cleaning station, or in our case the Dentist. These are special areas usually marked by the presence of certain shrimp and small, brightly colored fish, such as wrasses and bogies. The big fish swim up to the cleaner fish and open their jaws. The cleaner fish swim inside to eat the debris and parasites. The big fish even opens it’s gill chamber so they can get cleaned also. After the cleaning is done, the big fish allows the cleaner fish and shrimp to leave. Big fish swims off and starts looking for small fish and shrimp, to eat again.

These are three of the unbelievable creations that we are encouraged to believe came about through the random processes of the theory of evolution. These complex systems boggles the mind when you think about a bird who’s flight patterns are not a matter of trial and error but must be perfect each time. When you realize that the tongue of the woodpecker is twice as long as his beak with sticky stuff on the end so that he can reach into the hole he has made to capture the larvae he’s after and then recoils his tongue up inside his right nostril. To consider that the big fish seeks out the same kind of fish to clean their teeth that they ate in the first place to get them cruddy. This mutual arrangement could not have come about through evolution. This was programmed into these creatures from the beginning.

"You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" Psalm 8:6-9. The only reasonable explanation, is that it was designed and created by God! His creation laughs at the foolishness of the theory of evolution. We must laugh too! Jane Ann
