I was cutting wood yesterday and was hearing a woodpecker. I got thinking how odd for such a creature to somehow develop, for some odd reason, the ability to even WANT to try to develop this ability. Or to mutate to something like this, by chance.
Anyway, this morning, i decided to get opinions on this on google tying words of evolution to woodpeckers. Sure are a lot of sites about this. I haven`t really analyzed any of them yet. But several speak about the woodpeckers backwards tongue and how unlikely something like this would have just evolved.
They also mentioned its feet.
I will be looking for sites that are not say from christian science museum, or such slanted sites.
I want an honest open look at this.
.
I also plan to ask google about say a list of creatures or organisms that seem to defy evolution.
.
I have questioned religion since age 14 or 15. But this world, with all its workings, creatures, and organisms, and what they all do, and why so many things forked off some evolutionary tree to do all the stuff they do, blows my mind. That just because there were/are niches to fill, that the niches got filled. Truly fascinating. Underground, on land, in water, in land and water, in the air, inside other organisms, etc.
But of all the creatures...a woodpecker clanking its head many times a second, into a hard suface, to try to get at some food, seems really odd, for anything to have developed like this, on its own, without 'something' planning for a creature like this, to do a certain job or perhaps several jobs.
I just read where the speed of their beak is up to 23 ft/sec and stopping action is 1000g`s! And about its remarkable hairy sticky tongue that can extract an insect faster than you can see.
.
And this is just one of thousands of distinctly different creatures. It amazes me about worms also. You can cut one and it can regenerate. A certain flatworm can regenerate its whole body from just a 1/300th sliver of itself.
.
But what bothers me with all this thinking... that certain, even many, creatures evolved in so many complex and radical ways... that even though it may be hard to explain...there is still the fact that certain creatures can fall off a mountain without being killed, or get ran over by heavy things and live, or regrow new limbs or entire bodies or teeth. Yet, we humans, which were to be what our world was made for, according to the Bible, don`t possess any of these great features. And to me, that has really made the Bible story fall short of realistic expectations regarding us and a maker that is mindful of us.
So i think, could there still be a 'supreme designer', where the Bible has certain things right, simply gleaned from observation and logic?...but whose 'story'
was basically fabricated to suit the purposes of those people at that time?
