The Stabilimentum probably adds stability to the intricate woven and spaced netting of the web. I marvel at how the spider attaches the runners of the web to the wall and then across a large expanse to plant leaves/branches and then to the spaced cross-lines. What complexity in an insect's behavior. The exoskeleton and the insects' periodic shedding during development of it is also a complex process. These observations are consistent with a Designer-not a haphazard development of behavior and structure as a result of mutational changes. Again, mutations do not bring about increasing complexity in life forms.

...Then Will I Hear From Heaven, And Forgive Their Sin, And Will Heal Their Land. Let us continue to pray!
2 Chronicles 7 11 "Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. 12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually." KJV Acts 2 14 "But Peter, taking his stand with the other eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, [n]know this, and pay attention to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you assume, since it is only the [o]third hour of the day; 16 but this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel: 17 ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out My Spirit on all [p]mankind; And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, And your young men will see visions, And your old men will [q]have dreams; 18 And even on My male and female [r]servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, And they will prophesy. 19 And I will [s]display wonders in the sky above And signs on the earth below, Blood, fire, and [t]vapor of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. 21 And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’" NASB Let us continue to seek God with a repentant heart to heal our land!
Jerusalem set upon a hill. Psalm 125
1 "They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. 3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity." KJV And yet, even in the beauty of this bird's flying, appearance and life patterns there is death and corruption. Kestrels hunt other smaller birds, small mammals, reptiles and insects. Diseases affect them. Example: The central nervous system can be afflicted and blindness occur in some Kestrels in Australia. A parasite causes a vasculitis and granulomatous lesions. See Avian Pathol. 2000 Feb;29 (1):51-6.
So again there is beauty and corruption in the Creation-which is consistent with the corruption onset occurring with the Sin and Fall of man which affected the whole Creation as described in the Bible. Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned..." KJV See book below for more information. |
