PENGUINS WITH SUNGLASSES
Hebrews 1:3
"Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"
Have you ever gone outside on a bright, sunny day and been almost blinded by the light? Then imagine what it must be like for penguins to go about their lives with the intense glare of polar sunlight reflecting off a snowy or watery landscape.
Penguins, of course, can't slip on a pair of sunglasses, but they don't need to. These marvelous birds have an external eye fluid that filters out blue and ultraviolet wavelengths from the solar spectrum. This gives them clear vision while protecting their eyes from harm. As you might have guessed, eagles, falcons, hawks and other birds of prey also have this fluid.
Inspired by these birds, scientists have been able to develop an orange-colored dye and filter that duplicates the penguin's retinal fluid. The orange dye has been used to produce orange-tinted sunglasses which provide improved vision in bright sunlight and on foggy days.
According to Donald DeYoung's book Discovery of Design, many welders now use orange-colored masks that are safer and more transparent than the old-style dark masks that made it difficult for them to see. There is also the hope that orange-tinted glasses may someday help patients suffering from visual loss due to cataracts or macular degeneration.
When engineers and designers look at nature to design new products and product improvements, they are looking at intelligent designs, not the products of chance and billions of years. The "sunglasses" worn by penguins were designed by their Creator!
Heavenly Father, I am filled with gratitude that You have given me not only eyes to see the world around me but spiritual eyes that can see the truths in Your Word! Amen.

DIGGING UP THE DIRT ON FRAUDULENT FOSSILS
1 Samuel 12:24
"Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you."
How far will scientists and museums go to get people to believe in the theory of evolution? As scientist Carl Werner reveals in his book and on his webpage Evolution: The Grand Experiment, they will readily fabricate fake fossils and pass them off as real.
Dr. Werner said at his website, "Whales with four legs, walking on land, are currently considered one of the best fossil proofs of evolution." But after interviewing the two scientists who reconstructed the fossils of the three famous walking whales, Rodhocetus, Pakicetus and Ambulocetus, he concluded that the scientists created false models of these skeletons and skulls and passed them off as real to the biggest and most respected museums in the world.
In a Generations Radio interview, he said, "If you go to the largest museums in the world right now, there's fabricated fossil after fabricated fossil, where they've attached whale body parts to walking animals and said, 'Oh, look, we have walking whales.' These are on display currently, and I have interviewed the scientists who put the whale body parts onto four-legged animals, and they admitted to it."
Dr. Werner predicts that someday the fossil fakes will be quietly removed from museums. But for now, these fakes will deceive those who go to museums and websites where they will learn about "whales with legs". This is yet another reason why those of us with the truth must not remain silent but must share the truth with all who will listen.
Heavenly Father, telling evolutionists about the fraudulent fossils in museums can be important, but in the end I know that the only thing that can change their heart is the Gospel. Amen.

THAT'S EVOLUTION FOR YOU!
Luke 12:6-7
"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
"That's evolution for you!" That's what Dr. Rick Fairhurst, malaria researcher at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said when talking about malaria parasites that are becoming resistant to drugs that had been effective at fighting the deadly disease.
The World Health Organization estimates there were 207 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2012, killing 627,000 people, most of them children under age five. Science News laments that there is no approved vaccine against the protozoan malaria parasite, which is spread by mosquitoes and causes fever, chills, convulsions and more severe symptoms.
The whole point of the article is that "the history of malaria treatment is peppered with drugs to which the parasite has become resistant." But as Creation Moments has pointed out many times in the past, drug-resistant bacteria didn't get that way through evolution. Drug-resistant bacteria represent a loss of information. It would be like saying that you have evolved resistance to tennis elbow because you lost both of your arms in a car accident.
To evolutionists, though, everything is an example of evolution. This is nothing but shoddy thinking resulting from what they already believe to be true. It is the same kind of bad thinking that led to the banning of DDT, a harmless pesticide that kills parasite-carrying mosquitoes. DDT could have prevented the deaths of millions. It is no less tragic when scientists say "That's evolution for you!" when it has absolutely nothing to do with evolution!
Heavenly Father, while science has given us DDT, environmental activists have taken it away. I pray that world leaders will realize that human life is of infinitely more worth than imagined threats to our environment. Amen.

TISHA B'AV
Matthew 24:1-2
"And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
One of the most solemn days of the year for the Jewish people is not a biblical holy day. No, this national day of mourning - known as Tisha B'Av - is commemorated because of the catastrophes that happened to Israel throughout history on the ninth day of the month of Av.
According to rabbinic tradition, five disastrous events took place on the ninth of Av. We have time to mention just three. It was on the ninth day of Av in the year 587 BC that King Solomon's Temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians after a two-year siege. The people of Judah were then sent into Babylonian exile.
Nearly seven hundred years later - again on the ninth of Av - the Second Temple was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 AD. This date also marks the beginning of the Jewish exile from the land of their fathers, an exile that continued for almost nineteen hundred years.
The third event we will mention today happened in the year 132 AD. It was on the ninth day of Av that the Romans crushed the Bar Kokhba revolt, killing more than 100,000 Jews and ending the Jewish hope of overthrowing Roman rule. Since many Jews believed Bar Kokhba to be the long-awaited Messiah, this was a tragedy of epic proportions.
Even more tragic is that so many Jews back then and today do not realize that the Messiah has already come . and is coming again! Tell every Jewish person you know that their Messiah is Jesus!
Heavenly Father, I pray for the Jewish people who have suffered so greatly throughout the centuries. Never let me forget that Your Son came to us through the line of Judah to be the sacrifice for our sins. Amen.

THE INVISIBLE MOUSE
Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
It looks like H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man has just come closer to becoming a reality. A group of Caltech researchers recently announced they have succeeded in making a mouse transparent. The researchers said that their new scientific technique - called Perfusion-assisted Agent Release in Situ, or PARS for short - will help scientists study organs and tissues in the lab, and could even help diagnose illnesses in humans.
So how did they pull this off? They did it by pumping a detergent through the dead mouse's tissues to remove the fat cells. Sure enough, this made the mouse transparent. However, it also caused the mouse to quickly decompose. To solve this problem, the researchers replaced the fatty lipids with a transparent gel to maintain the mouse's body structure. By pumping this cocktail of detergent and gel through the mouse's circulatory system, they were able to make the mouse's body transparent and ready for research.
According to The Washington Post, labs have already begun using the lipid-clearing technique on tissue from human biopsies. Using the technique for finding cancerous cells, said one researcher, is a no-brainer.
Truly, we live in an age when it seems as if science can solve any problem. But there's one big problem that science will never be able to solve - the problem of sin and death. Only Jesus can take a person's sin-stained heart and turn it white as snow. Only Jesus can make our sins vanish from God's sight!
Heavenly Father, I am thankful to live at a time when medical advances are improving the quality of human life. But in the end, everyone dies, so I thank You most of all for eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Lord! Amen.
