Creation Moments

Guest (Male): Discover some amazing facts from creation. Next, on Today's Creation Moment. And now, here's our Creation Moments host, Ian T. Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: Our Creator's work reflects some of His incredible inventive creativity. In Matthew chapter 6, verse 30, Jesus reminds us how God provides for all the needs of all His creatures. Each creature is perfectly suited for its life, even if that requires special creativity from God.

Many of the creatures that live in the deepest and darkest part of the sea are equipped with lights. One has a very bright headlamp to light its way. Others have lights on their tails, jaws, or sides. The light they produce, as the light produced by the firefly, is cold light. The light is generated when chemicals manufactured by the creatures are mixed together.

Or consider the small bird that has an engine powerful enough to fly it 10,000 or more miles. The construction of the bird's heart differs from yours and mine in important ways. However, we couldn't get by with the bird's heart, just as he couldn't get by with ours. While it seems strange to think of the penguin as a bird that flies underwater, that's exactly what it does. The penguin can reach speeds of 30 miles an hour underwater, as fast as the fastest marine mammal, the dolphin.

All of us would benefit from looking at the creatures around us a little more closely. If we do, we will learn a little more about the magnificent creativity of our God. As we learn about their lives and how they are provided for, we will, as one early scientist put it, learn to think God's thoughts about the natural world after Him.
