This programming makes the plant
seek out nutrients in the soil, or it wouldn't survive. Evolution would
have you accept that.somehow.natural
selection was involved in the process. But the process is way
to advanced for the antiquated
explanation the natural selection tenet
of evolution
provides.
Roots have a
definite structure and a planned purpose. Look at one under magnification.
At the tip of a root is a root cap, which are cells that have ceased to
grow. This root cap protects the meristem,
which is still growing by dividing.(cells
multiply by dividing).its
cellular structure used to increase the length of the root fibres pushing
the cap further into the ground.
Within this area of fibre
growth, root 'hairs' are generated and emerge to go into the soil, expanding
the plant's ability to absorb water and other nutrients. These hairs are
constantly being replenished
as they become abraded.
Bob Gibbons, botanist, explains
in his fine book,.The
Secret Life of Flowers, that around the roots and root hairs of many
plants, expecially the orchids, heathers and some forest trees, there is
a cob web like net of fungal strands forming a special relationship with
the plant. Both benefit from the relationship.
"It's almost as if the fungus
tries to invade the roots but is only partially successful; the attack
is contained and the roots absorb water and minerals salts from the fungi,
while they in turn derive some nourishment from the roots",
says Bob.
There are different types
of root systems dependent upon conditions the plant is growing under. Plants
can have tap roots.(difficult
to pull up, like carrots, radishes, beets, etc., where nutrients are stored
in them and we eat them).and
fibruous root systems and adventitious
root systems. Fibrous systems can branch out everywhere. A four month old
rye plant, for example, can have over 14 million roots covering a surface
area of some 2,500 square feet.(232
square meters). In addition to this,
14 billion of its root hairs can extend further by another 4,300 square
feet. And that's one plant! It truly is an amazing transport system.
Adventitious root systems
involve a root producing additional roots from its stem. This occurs if
the main root is waterlogged, as Bob points out; or, as in the case of
ivy, where the stem needs to adhere to walls or trees.
Bob points out in his book
that one plant of common couch grass.(also
called quack grass).about
2 years old can have a root length of over ??, ok, you guess first. How
many feet, yards.(or
meters or miles or kilometers).is
its root length at this time?
Whadda ya think? 8-10 inches,
12-14 inches, 16-20 inches, 1 foot, 2 feet, 5 feet, 1000 feet? 2000 feet?
a mile? 5 miles? 25 miles? 50 miles? More? Take a guess! Whadda ya think?
Highlight
from bracket to bracket to get the answer
.(300
miles {483 kilometers} – amazing!).
In soft damp soil the roots
are tightly compacted, not needing to spread out in search of needed nutrients.
From where came the programming that the plant is able to sense its need
to either be tightly compacted or to spread out, if not from the intelligence
that designed it?
Also, some of a plant's cells
are directed to become part of the plant's rigid structure. Others carry
nutrients throughout the plant as needed by passing nutrients from cell
to cell.
To learn more about.how
complex is this.manufacturing
and distribution centre.(stems,
leaf structure, energy production, transpiration, a plant's hormones and
its growth, mitosis,
seed dormancy
to germination
to mature plant, life cycle variance {evergreens, etc.}, reproduction {vegetative
and sexual} and varying pollenation
timing mechanisms, varying beautiful scents, geographical preferences,
photosynthesis.{and
how some plants do not need it,
like the parasitic dodder}.and
how air enters leaves and how all plants have a commonality yet exhibit
almost
infinite
variation in design).get
the
book!
A plant seed contains all
the information it needs in the chromosomes,
to tell it what particular kind of plant it is and how it should behave,
look, etc. Who but Creator-God could have put the information in the seed?
The programming by the Creator
determines how the plant's final form occurs. The programming involves
what defines which cells produce leaves, etc. and resolves how the flowers
become red, yellow, multi colored, etc. In addition, plant systems are
designed in such a way to accommodate insect pollination. All these intricate
processes work together beautifully, flawlessly. These are mysteries deeply
buried within each particular plant's
encoding that provide only the explanation of intelligent design vy
the Creator-God to be as they are.
Cellular structure:.Man
builds rigid
structures and creates rigid laws. Nature builds flexibility
with ranges of
variance
generously allowed and where severely.eccentric.alterations
are easily corrected.
Eccentric
alterations include bending in the wind of a tree's trunk and branches
and all the way to the
nano
world within
the cell. Indeed,
where rigid structures cannot exist or cellular functioning would be brought
to a halt, this Great Being designed the flexibility within molecular structures
where cells are able to flex, 'breathing' in the process and where the
oxygen.molecules
are held deep by myoglobin.(a
deep red protein).in
a pocket deep within it.
For the oxygen to enter,
the molecule
must flex or 'breath', a transitory
process that forms channels that allow passage. Proteins
use a carefully designed change of shape to regulate their
action.
