I thought this was an interesting sign. :) Notice that they ask a very good question... "So how did they wind up looking and acting the same?" In other words, how come two different birds 'evolved' to be soooo complex and amazing? There isn't an answer on this sign- but I think I have one: Because they didn't evolve; they were created by an AMAZING and wonderful Creator. I'm into some veeeerrrry complicated Science in High School (At least I think it's complicated!) and I keep being amazed by how amazingly ordered and well-designed this universe is! The one problem is- It's so hard to understand it all, so I'm... uh, not getting the best grades on my tests. :( It's so fun to learn about all of this, but then to understand and remember it all... yikes! :) And if I struggle to learn and understand all of this, then how could all of this complexity and order have evolved by random, accidental mutations? There is absolutely NO WAY that that ever could have happened. The only logical explanation for our world is: God is our amazing, creative, intelligent, wise, wonderful, all-knowing, all-powerful (and the list goes on and on) Creator.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalm 139:14, KJV)
But anyway, back to the zoo...

Sweetness! :)

The train
No, we don't all smile for pictures at the same time. It just doesn't happen. No matter what family picture you look at, not one of them will show all of us smiling sweetly. :) Not that we don't smile at all, we just don't all smile at the same exact time. :D
Look at those big eyes! :)
Gloria and Bjorn- so cute! :)

Knut decided to stand on the hippo.
So Thor did, too.
I never knew my siblings were otters! Although they sure do love to play... :)
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Amen!! I think it is ridiculous that so many people are blind to the truth. I mean, how do you explain that all of creation was created by a big BOOM????? All of creation is so complex, that it's ridiculous to believe that it all came about by random chance. Where did the molecules come from to create the untrue Big Bang anyway?????
ReplyDeleteAll of creation is evident that we have a God. If we were just created by chance, how did we JUST HAPPEN to land on the only planet able to support life??
And there are a host of other "how did"s. We just keep coming back to the fact that life is too complicated to come about by random chance! There's no way that we could be here except by God's hand.
ReplyDeleteWhen homeschoolers get started on apologetics... we tend to go on and on! :)
