Could Creationism Correct Science?
Job 42:1-2
"Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee."
In the secular media we often hear spokespersons for evolution say that creationism would ruin science. But several years ago an evolutionist suggested in his paper that creationism may actually help...

High-Tech Ants

Genesis 1:31
"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

Why do ants like electricity and why can they sense microwaves? If evolution were true, how would ants evolve a love for electricity in only the short time that man has been producing it? For what purpose would they have evolved the ability to sense microwave radiation long before man was using it?

It has been well established that ants like to build their nests around electrical equipment. They are often found around electrical meters. They are famous for building their nests around airport runway lights. They seem to be particularly fond of electrical relays. No one knows why. Now we learn that unlike any other multicelled creatures, they can survive inside a running microwave oven, perhaps enjoying your food as it cooks! How can they do this? It seems that ants can detect the invisible wave pattern of microwaves inside the oven. These patterns leave some areas of the oven low in microwave radiation while other areas are high in radiation. Ants simply avoid those areas where the radiation is strong enough to kill them. Incidentally, you can see these patterns by lining the tray on the floor of your microwave oven with marshmallows. You will notice that some will become very cooked while others are barely touched by the microwaves.

If evolution were true, how would ants develop the ability to deal successfully with conditions that did not exist? It makes more sense to conclude that our Creator, Who knows the future, made the ants as He did for reasons we still must discover.

Prayer: 
Lord, I am filled with wonder at Your wonderful work. I thank You for all You have given me. Amen.
