Did you know we have a sixth sense? Find out about it next on today's Creation Moment. And now, here's our Creation Moments host, Ian Taylor.

Name the five senses. Every school child is asked that question. However, now the question is outdated because a sixth sense has been discovered. Years ago, University of Utah anatomist David L. Berliner noticed a strange reaction among co-workers. Normally, his co-workers did not get along well. However, when he was working with open vials of extracts from human skin, there was a noticeable rise in friendliness. A few months later, when he sealed the extracts, co-workers were again unable to get along with each other.

That experience led Berliner, 30 years later, to discover the purpose of the vomeronasal organ, VNO for short. In animals, the VNO detects odourless pheromones, chemicals used to communicate readiness to mate, and other similar messages. Evolutionists thought that the human VNO was a useless vestigial organ left over from our evolution. Berliner discovered that the centimeter-long organ in our nose detects odourless human pheromones. It uses a system completely different from your nose. The VNO sends its message to the hypothalamus. While the nose is wired to other sections of the brain, the hypothalamus controls basic drives and emotions.

Scientists long ago thought that they had identified all the senses. The discovery of the VNO shows that science still has very much to learn about the material creation, and that places science in a poor position to pass judgments upon biblical truth.
