God's creation is so incredibly amazing! The kids and I took my mom to the Denver Zoo today and here are just two examples of God's perfect design for His animal world.
The giraffe stands about 18 feet tall, and the head and neck of a full grown giraffe weigh about 500 pounds. God has designed the giraffe with a strong, large heart, capable of pumping blood against the pull of gravity. In addition, He has given the giraffe a unique series of blood vessels and valves located in the head which regulate the blood pressure to the brain when the head is lowered.
We also learned about the alligator snapping turtle which has a wormlike growth on the tip of its tongue. The turtle will lie still in the water with its mouth wide open. The appendage on the tongue moves, imitating a worm, and when an unsuspecting fish comes for the "worm," the snapping turtle then quickly closes its mouth and enjoys lunch!
Who else but God could think of, and then speak into being, such creatures?
