Seven Incredible Invertebrates That Confirm Creation

Evolutionists claim that invertebrates are simple creatures, representing some of the earliest evolved forms of life, but when we take a closer look, we see careful design, not random chance!
Host Trey and Dr. Frank Sherwin discuss several fascinating creatures on episode 64 of The Creation Podcast!

My 9-year-old grandson who lives in Guatemala where we live now wanted me to listen to this podcast with him. He had already listened to it and he wanted me to listen with him again. I had trouble concentrating being his 64-year-old grandma so I'm listening to it at home. It's awesome!

[@alfredomenendez8703]

Dr. Sherwin does an awesome job in informing us of the design of God's creatures. Nowhere else do i hear about the creation and learn lots and lots about creatures from a biblical viewpoint.

[@theerapons]

Incrdible explain about miraculous life of those invertebrates. Thank you.

[@FrankPCarpi]

Dr. Frank Sherwin is such a smart man, he knows so much about these animals and so many more, and he didn't need to look up any of the answers that he gave to so many questions. I must say that he truly earned his degree. I don't understand why these so-called geniuses would rather think that we are all related to an ancient ancestral life form, rather than the obvious conclusion that we are all created by the same divine Designer, and He uses the exact same set of chemicals to store and transmit the data required to replicate life in all of the multivarious forms found here on Earth. I mean it just makes so much more sense to believe in the Lord Yeshua Messiah and His omnipotent, omniscient intelligence, and to give Him honor and praise and glory for all of the creation, than to ascribe such power to the inanimate creation itself.

[@spamm0145]

Agreed, and the incredible amount of symbiosis among living organisms that absolutely required divine foresight on a mindboggling level.

[@Rambo-iz4yw]

I hope you are right, I think one of the reasons is, that there are some "design errors" of which you "could" conclude, that an intelligent designer could have done this better... - for example with whales, why is their flippers looking like a hand... That is also quite disturbing to me, although I think you are right! Greetings..

[@kittykatters3972]

@@Rambo-iz4yw Did you know whales (and all marine mammals like seals and manatees) still have the unexpressed Tbx4 genes for producing hind limbs? That's why we still occasionally see atavistic hind limbs on cetaceans. That's kinda silly for an omnipotent Designer but makes perfect sense with evolution.

In the past i would explain to the crew that “parts are parts” ie. Imagine a tornado blowing through a wrecking yard, and out comes a fully functioning car, then an airplane…my crew understood a car has wheels, skin, an engine,, etc. it was just how they were put together.. using this example, i explained that while that tornado could not do that, they got the idea, that intelligent design is a very real thing…

Great video! The fact that darwinism has been debunked should be a source of encouragement for atheists. It means you are not a random monkey mistake. It means your great, great, great... grandkids won't grow scales and swim off into the ocean never to be seen again. It means you were designed by the most intelligent mind in the universe with a loving purpose. Please accept the love; declare Jesus as your Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from death and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Not a monkey. They are two separate things.

Q: If mutation by random leads to evolution, and change is very small (say1 in billion for one successful mutation? ), it mean the new version my replicate a billion times (given and take) to produce the next version with v1 mutual inheritance. That mean of each peace of progress, you everytime needs a billion offspring. Imagine the number of offsprings require to come up with a complex feature. And where are fossil records of these billion!

1/64 of all mutations creates a new protein coding gene.

[@loricalass4068]

In another reply below, you said that sponges are animals not plants. Yeah, we knew that. You talked about their celia and flagella and other things. Then you said that was all the result of evolution. Just describing the complexities of a living creature doesn’t prove evolution! Look at a skyscraper. You could describe its complexities in detail too. Would that show it slowly evolved overtime? No, it shows that it had had some intelligent design behind it. In order to prove evolution for sponges, you would have to have some evidence, which you totally evaded even mentioning. There are countless fossils of sponges, many millions, maybe billions of them. There is the evidence for you. But you are ignoring it. For a fantasy. The data clearly shows that all the sponges stay sponges, and nothing else. Try to find a single one that shows a sponge turning into or out of anything else but a sponge. You won’t reply on that. Wake up. Richard Dawkins is really insulting you when he suggests that you came from things like sponges and jellyfish. Even though, again, the fossil record shows the exact opposite of what he is claiming. Wake up. See the obvious. Find out who you really are. It’s not a sponge or bacteria or fish or Lucy update. That is all pseudoscience scam.

[@globalcoupledances]

@@loricalass4068 look at the development of a human embryo. First a collection of cells, but unlike sponges you see the next stage that those cells form three layers: ecto-, endo- and mesoderm. Similar to jellyfish

[@globalcoupledances]

@loricalass4068 - sponges reproduce, buildings don't. Compared to more primitive multicellular organisms:, cells of Sponges differentiate. Jellyfish is more advanced because they perform gastrulation, i.e. forming a stomach. Worms went further by turning that stomach into a digestive track. You need to understand evolution

[@nathancook2852]

"It will always be unknown." Yeah, just like Lucy will always be unknown, huh?

[@skunkape5918]

Lucy is a fraud

[@xviewmytubex]

Let's understand more context in the creation evolution discussion. =). If evolution is fact it must have a factual origins, sufficient cause, beginning. =). A group of scientists return to their lab and cheerfully declare to other colleagues that they have found a possibly, unknown never before existing species of 'insert scientific jargon here'. What follows for the scientist delegated this task, operation? Well, more exams, studies, and scientific operations would follow. On what? On the factually existing species (of whatever). Why? Because science to produce reality relevant and reality based results cannot be conducted on 'possibly, unknown, never before existing' anything! There's nothing to conduct the science on! This is the fallacy with the 'science of/for evolution'. Evolution is a story (nothing to conduct reality relevant, reality based operations on! Think folks! The science by evolutionists is not supposed to be showing us how things work, etc. Its supposed to be showing us HOW ALL THE FACTUALLY EXISTING REALITY ARRIVES IN THE FIRST PLACE! My emphasis added. =).

@@nathancook2852 You used bad logic. The difference of opinion within one group of people does not prove the other group is true. People who do not know that Toyota and Honda own factories in the United States of America and people who know that arguing over where Toyotas and Hondas are made do not prove that Toyotas and Hondas are the result of random chance without a designer. If there were mountains of evidence, we would have seen it. There are mountains of evidence for speciation and the round earth; but, that evidence does not prove all life having a common ancestor. That evidence does not prove a working body system can be the result of random mutations.

Let me guess. You looked at the data and concluded "My Favourite Wizard did it." Just like every single time, without fail, right? PS If evolution isn't a thing, why is it observable?

[@roblangsdorf8758]

I think that you are confusing programmed variations with evolution. Alleles can produce multitudes of variations that work. Random mutations tend to be neutral to detrimental. Thus they fail to produce any advancements in forms of life.

Hi Rob, What happens to the frequency of beneficial mutations, over time, when they occur in a population?@@roblangsdorf8758

[@kittykatters3972]

@@roblangsdorf8758 Mutations can also produce new alleles which can be beneficial and spread through the population. That's exactly what happened with the famous peppered moths in England. A mutation in 1819 produced an allele creating a dark form of the moth instead of the previous ones which were all light colored. The dark mutation was so beneficial in the soot covered areas of the industrial revolution in less than 50 years it made up 95% of the moth population.
