CREATION'S MYSTERY |
 Who
made the creatures? 
Where did everything come from? |
  Who
made all the bright flowers for us to enjoy? |
  There
are detailed amazing creatures everywhere about us. How can the delicate
swallowtail butterfly emerge from a chrysalis?
How can these pretty daffodils come from a rough brown bulb every year? |
  Who
made innocent little babies turn into silly boys?
Lets look at clues in nature then let's look at what the Bible says. |
 Woodpecker
The woodpecker is designed in such a way that he does not get a headache from pounding on the tree with his head. He has a cushion for his brain.
His feet are designed to grasp the tree and his tail anchors him so well that he can hang on while his head is banging on the tree.

| Have you ever seen a computer in pieces. Has there ever been a story of someone putting computer parts in a box, shaking it and suddenly the computer comes together and works? The big bang theory does not make any sense either. For all life forms are more complicated than even the best computers. |
| Trilobite Fossils have been discovered which have
very complicated eye structures. This makes a problem for those who
believe things started from a simple form and turned into a very
complicated animal. There are missing pieces to the puzzle. If the story
was true that complicated people came from a small cell over millions of
years, there would be fossils in layers from simple to complicated ones.
Among famous groups of extinct organisms, trilobites probably rank second only to the dinosaurs in fame. Their fossils are instantly recognizable and often strikingly beautiful. In fact, prehistoric people liked them as much as we do. At Arcy-sur-Cure in France, one of the artifacts found by archeologists was a trilobite that had been drilled to be worn as an amulet. Evolutions believe each rock layer represents several million years. But scientists often find fossils shooting straight up through several layers of rock. Fossilized trees are found standing upright, cutting through 40 feet of rock. If it really took millions of years for the sediment to be laid down, the trees would have rotted away long before they could fossilize. But there's no sign of decay. Each tree must have been covered all at once -- 40 feet of sediment laid down all at one time.

 Polonium Halos.
Polonium halos in granite rocks offer evidence that the Earth was rapidly formed and not cooled over millions of years. This polonium decays rapidly. It takes only about six minutes for this radioactive isotope to fully break down and create this halo in the granite. There is a halo formation from nuclear particles. Because they disappear so fast, any substance of cooling materials that take time to get hard, would never have a print of their halo. There is a 30 minute video and many books showing this research in much greater detail. It's fantastic for understanding the halos. You can look up his web site.

The
Platypus 
The duck billed platypus is the Strangest animal that lays eggs and uses its bill like a metal detector to find food. New findings about these Australia creatures shows amazing skills. This animal has a bill that kind of looks like it belongs on the duck. His tail looks like a flat beaver tail.
In 1984, however, a platypus jaw with three large teeth was found among a collection of opalized bones at Lightning Ridge in northern New South Wales
Out of the water, the platypus's hearing is acute. And its beady eyes are well placed for scanning the river banks. When disturbed it growls like a puppy, or rumbles like a broody hen pulled from her nest. Its short legs have strong claws and webbed feet.
And digging is important for the platypus, for it digs a long winding tunnel up to 20 meters ( 30 feet) long into the stream bank in which the mother lays her eggs. As she may use this burrow in future years, it can become steadily longer and more elaborate. The Bible account is the most reliable account of the history of our world and the creatures living here. Let's look at what it says.
|
 In
the beginning, when God created the earth, the earth had nothing on it.
There was just water. There was nothing formed. (Genesis 1:1 |
 Then
God said, "Let there be light" and suddenly there was light. God
was happy with what He saw. He made light during the day and darkness
during the night. Evening and morning made the first day. We call the
first day Sunday. (Genesis 1:3-5)
1 |
 Then
God said, "Let there be two separate places for water. Some will be
in the air and more will be in the rivers and oceans." Evening and
morning made the second day. (Genesis 1:6-8) We call the second day
Monday.
2 |
 Then
God said, "Let land appear and let there be plants." So the
plants came right out of the earth according to His design. Evening and
morning made the third day. (Genesis 1:9-13)
3 |
 Then
God said, "let there be light in the sky to separate the night
from the day." The special lights are to make months, days, and
years. The sun was to make light for the day. The moon and stars were
planned for lighting the night. The evening an morning were the fourth
day. We call the fourth day Wednesday. (Genesis 1:14-19)
4 |
 On
the fifth day God said, "Let the water be filled with many kinds of
living things, and let the air be filled with birds." God was pleased
with what He saw. Evening and morning made the fifth day. We call the
fifth day Thursday. (Genesis 1:20-23)

The
Fish With Four Eyes
The amazing four eyed fish has large bulging eyes like a frog's. He uses half above and half under water. The waterline eyes are divided by tissue into upper and lower parts with separate corneas and retinas. Actually the two eyes function as four eyes. It is really hard to catch this fish because he watches above water and below water. This is similar to the bifocal lenses people use on their glasses when they use both near and far sighted vision in the same lens. Most aquariums do not keep these fish for they are good jumpers. Another unusual habit is that when swimming it continually ducks its head under the water. This is because, unlike most land animals, it does not have a tear duct to keep the eye moist and so must duck to prevent its eyes from drying out. It is extremely difficult to see how something as complex as this could develop by gradual stages, and the more parts that have to develop, the greater the difficulty. This includes the complex brain setup needed to simultaneously decode the double images being received by the two retinas. How did all this evolve until it was fully functional? There is, in fact, no evidence that Anableps evolved. Genesis 1:21 shows when fish were made. This accounts for the formation of all the parts of the eyes and the needed complementary parts of the brain, with everything in working order from the very beginning.

 The
sixth day God said, "Let animals come from the earth." God was
happy with all the animals. God then said, "Let us make man in our
own image. They will look like us." So God made a man and a woman. He
told them to have children. He told them their work was to take care of
the animals and fish. He gave them fruit and grain to eat. The animals
were given plants to eat. Even and morning made the sixth day. We call the
sixth day Friday. (Genesis
1:26-31)
6 |
 The
seventh day God stopped working. He blessed the 7th day and set it apart
as a special day because He had completed His creation.
7 The 7th day is the Sabbath. SONG |
 From
new moon to new moon and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all shall come and
worship Me, says the Lord.
SONG
In heaven, God will meet every Sabbath with us just like He does here. We cannot see Him meet with us now but we will when we get to heaven. Besides every week on Sabbath, we will meet together every month. This is our appointment with God. This appointment begins at sundown on Friday night and stops at sundown on Saturday night. If you go to church on Sunday for this blessing, you will get just the leftovers. Yet leftovers of any blessing from God are still good. They are just not as abundant and special as they are if you meet on His appointment day. The very best Sabbath treasures are received on the 7th day the Sabbath. Meeting on the 7th day Sabbath shows God you believe and want to obey His law (Exodus 20) that never changes. That law that is kept in the throne room in heaven says the 7th day is the Sabbath. This day of worship will soon be made the test. You honor God by obedience to His law. He will save all who obey the light they have. Now you have the light of the Sabbath, and you should pray for help to obey God. God is the God of creation and He only has the right to make this law. No one can change His laws. |
 The
Sabbath can be spent in Bible study and in searching out the mysteries of
nature. There are so many flowers to enjoy. From these Sabbaths spent in
nature, the family will find they are refreshed, and invigorated and
braced for work and trial of the next week. There are amazing blessing
given to those who spend time with God this way.
Will you get on your knees today and tell God you plan to keep His Sabbath holy. He will help you. By obeying, He can show you more truth.

You can find a picture of a Trilobite here.
He has a tongue that is uniquely packed in his little head so he can
enter the deep holes he makes in the tree and grasp the grub he is after.
After eating, he packs up his long forked tongue. It curls around
behind his brain.
If he had not instantly been created this way, how could he have
slowly practiced until all these special features worked to help him get
food? He would have gone hungry and died trying to learn how to get food.
The woodpecker is evidence of a Master Mind design which was instantly put
into place at creation.
Mammals give live birth to their young and feed them milk from their
breasts. But the mother platypus has no teats. Yet it was covered in fur.
There is no other animal like this platypus. This is another evidence for
the belief in the Bible account of creation. The more we see about the
platypus, the more this becomes obvious.
Why
is it only found in Australia? All fossils found of it are essentially the
same as today's living creatures. It certainly shows no signs of
evolution. Its only significant change seems to have been to lose some
teeth and shrink in size. Indeed, evolutionary scientists are baffled
about the ancestry of the platypus. 
Some
of the most marvelous engineering in God's creation can be seen in this
shy ball of fur. When under water the platypus catches its food with its
ears and eyes firmly shut. So how does it find food on the murky
river beds? Platypuses don't stay under water long to collect food; only a
minute or two before surfacing. Then another minute or two at the surface
to sort and chew its food, which it holds in large cheek pouches, before
diving again. Its bill is a highly tuned receptor that picks up the
weak electric fields of the shrimps and worms it eats. This sense is so
sharp it can even detect prey under mud, & rocks.
