Just when human arrogance has reached its height, and mankind’s darkness of mind (the belief in evolution as our creator) has all but erased away any acknowledgment of the ingenious works of Jesus the true creator, science produces a new empirical observation that shocks us out of our drunken stupor with such intensity that we must again wrestle with the undeniable fact that we live in a world that was designed. In this case, it’s an octopus. An octopus whose eyes are color-blind. An octopus whose eyesight isn’t very sharp, even though its eyes are not “backwards” like the eyes of you reading this blog (Hmmm if you can read this blog, then “backwards” eyes must be a pretty good design, right? I’m a mechanical engineer, and my definition of a good design is a design that is functional.) But somehow, this feeble-eyed, color-blind octopus possesses a technology that the U.S. Military would pay billions to have: The ability to change shape, texture, and color to mimic its surroundings – all in under a second. My words of description do not do it justice. You have to see it for yourself. (Click on the picture below to watch the video)
Where's the Octopus?
And I’ll come out and boldly say it: If you can watch this video and not be in awe; if you can observe this and somehow think that this sophisticated operational capability resulted from an undirected, random, blind process of natural selection and chance variation of DNA, then I don’t think you’re being honest with the empirical data. It’s time to stop insulting the creator’s ingenuity, and believe. On the final day we all stand before God and he asks us to account for the life he has given us, nobody is going to venture the objection, “I wasn’t sure if you existed.” Not after seeing this octopus.
