Creation Moment month is starting today. Here's the first Creation Moment.
Jumping Tomatoes
Exodus 8:2 "And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:"
"What a delicious-looking tomato," you say to
yourself. But as you reach for it, that bright red tomato suddenly comes
to life and jumps away in pursuit of its own lunch! That "tomato" you
almost grabbed is actually a tomato frog, a creature found only on the
island of Madagascar.
Just
before the frog jumped out of your reach, it puffed up its shiny red
body because it regarded you as a threat. Fortunately for you, the frog
came nowhere near your lips. You see, when a predator bites down on a
tomato frog, the frog's skin secretes a thick substance that gums up the
predator's mouth and eyes – a superb defense mechanism that reminds us
of the mucus secreted by hagfishes.
According to a book called Astonishing
Animals, evolution is the reason why the tomato frog is bright red in
color. The authors say it is mimicking the bright color of the poison
arrow frog of Central America. But wait a minute! There are no poison
arrow frogs on the island of Madagascar, so how could the tomato frog's
bright color be attributed to mimicry? It can't mimic a frog that no
creature on the island has ever seen!
Once again, when you're an evolutionist,
evolution accounts for absolutely everything in nature. Creationists
reject that kind of thinking. We believe that God blessed the island of
Madagascar with many unique and colorful creatures. And each one was
given just the right combination of characteristics by its Creator.
