You Do Have Rocks in Your Head!
The inner ear contains an extraordinarily precise balance system made up of fluid-filled canals and tiny calcium crystals that detect movement and gravity. These parts must work together and send accurate signals to the brain, making the system a striking example of the intricate design found throughout living things.

Jonathan Cotton: You really do have rocks in your head. More next on today's Creation Moment. And now, here's our Creation Moment host, Ian Taylor.
Ian T. Taylor: Some biological structures are so complex that evolutionary scientists say that they took many millions of years to evolve. At the same time, and usually unsaid, is the fact that these structures could only work in their finished form. The evolving forms would have no survival value. In the hearing organs of your ear is a complex system that helps you keep your balance. This system is made up of fluid-filled cavities and semicircular canals that are also filled with fluid. These organs provide a constant stream of information to your brain along with what you can see and touch, and they tell you where you are in space.
The key to this system are called calcium crystals called otoliths that literally mean ear rocks. These otoliths are held inside a gelatin-like membrane. Tilt your head to the right and gravity causes the otoliths to bump into tiny hairs that send signals to your brain. If these ear rocks break loose, they bump into the wrong hairs. This results in the brain receiving signals that don't agree with what you are seeing. These conflicting signals then produce vertigo. Our elegant and precise balance system is useless to us unless it is in finished form. That simple fact rules out any evolutionary origin.
The obvious alternative is that our balance system, along with everything else that exists, has an all-wise creator.
