Designed to Fly


Henry Morris III wrote in Six Days of Creation, "All of us have marveled at the birds of our world. Some are exquisitely brilliant in color, some sing so wonderfully that our hearts weep with joy, others glide and soar like the most graceful acrobats and ballet dancers. The lure of flight has driven many to experiment, from Icarus of Greek mythology to the Wright brothers. Yet all of our engineering skill, fighter jets, rockets, and commercial aircraft fail miserably to mimic the efficient and effective design of the tiniest bird."

"Feathers are not simple. They vary in type and use from the soft inner down to the varied wing, tail, and head crests. Feathers have shafts, veins, and barrels. They have colored pigments that vary across the spectrum, as well as various types of built-in prism designs that refract light. Nothing in the observable world gives any evidence of "developing" feathers. There is no kind of fossil that shows some creature's skin developing sticks that turn into quills that turn into feathers. Feathers came into existence at the same time birds did."

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for the beautiful birds you created. Thank you for all your creation that clearly shows You are the unbelievable artist and creator. Amen.
