Trees are more aerodynamically efficient than jet planes due to their flexible branches and leaves, which adapt to the wind and reduce drag. The Creator's design principle of resilience and adaptability in nature highlights His wisdom and care.

Is the concern over increasing carbon dioxide levels valid? Learn more next on today's Creation Moments. And now, here's our Creation Moments host, Ian Taylor.

Did you know that a tree is aerodynamically more sleek than the smoothest jet plane? As the wind blows, the leaves and the branches of a tree move, allowing the wind to pass. As a result, the tree has less aerodynamic drag than a jet plane. The creation is full of examples of the Creator's principle that life needs to be resilient to change. This means that for the sake of survival, life is not rigidly designed, but has certain flexibility.
Much is said today about an increase in carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, and concern is expressed about global warming. However, man's production of carbon dioxide is infinitesimal compared to the carbon dioxide from volcanic eruptions. Now science is learning how plants are designed to regulate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When carbon dioxide levels increase, many plants increase their absorption of carbon dioxide at the same time making more oxygen available. With increasing carbon dioxide levels, plants also tend to produce tissue that decays less readily. This ties up the excess carbon for longer periods of time.
Our Creator expects us to take care of his creation. However, he knows that we cannot change conditions on the planet Earth that are beyond our control. And for this reason, he has built in mechanisms into the creation that adjust to stabilizing changing conditions. How wise he is in his goodness to us.
