Creation Moments

Guest (Male): Meet the crocodile bird next on today's Creation Moment. And now here's our Creation Moment host Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: How would you like to be a dental hygienist for a crocodile? That's how the crocodile bird makes his living. Of course, you do not need to know that the crocodile bird doesn't show up to do his work with any drills or needles. He and the crocodile are on good terms with each other. After eating, the crocodile climbs the riverbank and relaxes with his mouth open. The little crocodile bird enters the crocodile's mouth to clean up the scraps that are left.

And while the crocodile bird makes most of his living as sort of a crocodile dental hygienist, he also helps keep the crocodile free of pesky insects that lodge in his skin. The crocodile also receives one other service from the crocodile bird. Whenever the bird senses approaching danger, he gives a sharp warning call and flies off. The crocodile, now warned, can quickly roll over into the water where virtually no animal can get the best of him.

This is but one of the many unlikely cooperative arrangements that we find in the plant and animal kingdom. Every one of these relationships speaks of a creator and against the idea that either of these creatures or their cooperation evolved naturally. Evolutionists have written whole books on the subject, yet they don't seem satisfied that they have ever explained how these relationships could develop through evolution. We agree that they have no explanation. Nor are they likely to find one as long as they deny a creator who cares for his creation.
