Tool-Using Animals
Animals like chimpanzees, elephants, and woodpeckers use or even make tools. While evolutionists once denied this, their shifting explanations reveal evolution’s inconsistency. Humans remain unique, created in God’s image, despite animals’ cleverness.
Mark W. Cadwallader: Discover how some animals use tools. Next on today's Creation Moment.
Mark W. Cadwallader: And now, here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.
Ian T. Taylor: Evolution devalues man. It tries to find the most unflattering way to describe human beings to try to counter the Bible's claim that man was created in God's image.
For generations, evolutionists said that man's use of tools was all that made him different from animals. Creationists who objected, saying that there was obviously more of a difference than that, were ignored as unscientific.
It wasn't so long ago that evolutionists scoffed at creationists who showed them that there are animals who use tools, and therefore the evolutionist definition was wrong.
Elephants often take sticks in their trunks to scratch their backs. Galapagos woodpeckers use cactus spines held in their beaks to probe insects out of cracks in trees.
Chimpanzees even use sticks as levers to move heavy objects. They also make tools out of sticks by shaping them to the right size to poke into termite nests. The stick full of termites they pull out of the nest offers them a tasty snack.
West African chimps actually use stones as hammers to crack nuts. So today, evolutionists recognize that some animals not only use tools, but make them.
Only now, they claim that animals who use tools prove their theory, which only goes to show that evolution is not science that can be disproven. It is a faith that will be believed even when the facts contradict it. The facts say that there is an unbridgeable difference between man and animals.
