"Woodchucks and badgers also
have their front limbs directed down for good locomotion...The
paws of the moles are like large scraping shovels. Each forepaw has an
extra bone...making it.(the
shovel).even
wider. A mole's breastbone is deeply ridged to allow attachment of strong
chest muscles that power its digging...Like the rest of its body, the fur
of the mole is styled for tunnel life. Its pelt lacks the stiff, coarse
guard hairs that protect the soft inner fur of most mammals. For moles,
these guard hairs would make passage through tight tunnels more difficult.
"Even their inner fur has
a special adaptation to make underground travel easier. While most mammal
hair is thick at the base and tapers toward the tip, each mole hair has
flat sections along its cylindrical length. These act as hinges and allow
the hair to bend easily in any direction, In addition, the mole's shiny,
dense inner fur has no grain to it. It lies sleek and smooth no matter
which way it is stroked. This allows a mole to slip through its tunnels
forwards or backwards with little resistance...The moleskin sold in drugstores
today to protect the skin from chafing is synthetic."....Nature
Canada Magazine.(cnf.ca).,
Spring, 2000.
Moles spend more time in
winter underwater than in summer. Their longest dives reach to one minute
and about one meter underwater. They live mostly on Earthworms at about
8000 of them a year, seldom attacking roots, bulbs or shoots in gardens
and yards.
Animal mathematics:.Animals
have an even number of legs. Was this randomness or design? Why not three
legs? Or maybe 5 or 7? The mathematics of creation are seen
many places.
The mathematics
of walking is most interesting.
Instinct is nothing more
than mathematical rules; preprogramming as it were or perhaps better to
call it a predisposition
to respond to the physics of creation.
Mathematical
rules have much to do with the
web of life.
Photosynthesis:."One
surprise in the structural
comparison of reaction centers from different photosynthetic
systems has been that they are similar to each other in terms of their
overall three-dimensional
structure. This suggests that all photosynthetic reaction centers are related
to each other and share a common ancestor."....Wim

The supreme intelligence
of the Great Infinite One gives us the idea as we examine His mind evidenced
in His creation. Then, we take the lead to produce wonderful things.
Photosynthesis
and related processes can be applied to many more areas than just solar
energy conversion. There are a myriad
of possible applications of artificial reaction centers and related molecules
in nanotechnology. As
mentioned above, they could be applied as optical switches and sensors
in
computer technology to facilitate
chip-to-chip or board-to-board contact, among others.
Many synthetic pigments have
also found biomedical uses in tumor detection, as they, for unknown reasons,
tend to accumulate preferentially in tumors and are highly fluorescent
and thus easily detectable in a patient who is being operated on to remove
a tumor.
"In the biotechnology field,
photosynthetic organisms are likely to play an increasing role in the production
of enzymes,
pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and so forth. Until now, these valuable
molecules have been produced primarily by genetically modified forms of
heterotrophic
microorganisms such as yeast and selected bacteria,
which can live off only organic
matter. Photosynthetic organisms do not need an added fixed carbon source
for growth. Therefore production costs are lower and the chances of contamination
with other microorganisms are less. By addition of a new gene to a photosynthetic
organism, synthesis
of a 'new' enzyme can be achieved.
"Another potential application
of photosynthetic organisms is in bioremediation,
which is the cleanup of environmental pollutants by biological means. An
example is the biological breakdown of toxic organic compounds to form
innocuous
breakdown products. Also, remediation
of agricultural chemicals such as nitrate is feasible. With photosynthetic
organisms, no external energy source needs to be provided for growth in
the light, making these organisms suitable for remediation of aqueous surface
environments.
"A more crude utilization
of photosynthetic organisms is to have them use solar energy to produce
clean burning fuels.
"Even under natural conditions
some photosynthetic systems such as algae
can produce hydrogen,
which is a clean fuel since it produces only water when it burns. Hydrogen
production probably can be improved upon by introduction of genetic changes.
However, one remaining problem is that the cheapest and most universal
electron donor of all, water, upon oxidation
in PS II, forms oxygen, which is not very safe in combination with hydrogen.
"Another option would be
to use photosynthetic organisms to produce methane, which could be burned
without disturbing the atmospheric balance of CO2, since CO2
would earlier have been removed from the atmosphere to make the methane.
"Research in photosynthesis
in all its facets has opened many doors in a variety of disciplines, ranging
from biophysics to plant physiology. Progress has been driven by an interdisciplinary
approach to this complex yet fascinating spectrum of questions, challenges,
and opportunities. Photosynthesis is at the basis of our food and energy
supply, and innovative utilization of solar energy is likely to be of increasingly
critical importance in the future. This, together with novel uses of photosynthetic
principles for other purposes, make it likely that photosynthesis and its
applications will help to shape an increasingly broad area of exciting
discoveries and innovative ideas."....Wim

Kelp and red algae:.Kelp
releases millions of spores each year.
Kelp
spores
link with red algae,
releasing chemicals that help them stick to their hosts. Inside the red
algae these spores develop into young kelp fronds
by obtaining nutrients needed for their growth from the red algae. In addition,
the red algae's calcium oxalate crystals protect the kelp from would be
grazers of the kelp. A symbiotic relationship.
It is impossible kelp would
survive without the red algae, so needed for kelp to perpetuate. They both
had to be created side by side.
Penguins:.Penguins
defy evolution. Like, what did they do? Develop in the African continent,
from which evolution in its fairy story supposes all life originated and
then just walk to Antarctica, developing what they needed to survive down
there along the way, somehow forseeing the need for their special equipment?
Perhaps they were keeping ahead of ice flows. Ha ha! Intelligent but severely.duped
people actually believe this! Ha ha! Obviously the way intelligence
has been measured is woefully.inadequate.
Penguins are strange birds!
They do not have feathers tracts
as do many other birds. Many birds shed their feathers and grow new ones
slowly, however, penguins molt.(cast
off).all
of their feathers and even shed parts of their beaks quite quickly.
Penguins are flightless birds,
living in the southern hemisphere
in and around cold Antarctica. What would think that by now they would
have evolved some way to fly and get the hell out of that cold place. Ha
ha!
"The cold Humboldt Current
along the west side of South America permits two species to breed in what
are otherwise tropical latitudes; the Galapagos penguin on the Galápagos
Islands and the Humboldt penguin on the South American coast and offshore
islets.(very
small islands)."....Microsoft®
Encarta® Encyclopedia 99.
Now, if they can't fly, they
must have arrived there by walking and then loved the cold there so much,
they refused to evolve the capability to fly outta dah place. Ha ha! The
theory of evolution as common indoctrination
is just such a bunch of total crap! It is too ludicrous
for description.
