So cold 🥶 but no ice?!
‘Penguins are birds, which means they have feathers. Penguins hop in and out of the freezing Antarctic Ocean in an environment where winds can reach 90 m.p.h. (144 km/hr.) One would think ice would cake up all over their feathers. Yet penguins are able to handle extremely cold temperatures AND remain ice-free!Â
Using a scanning electron microscope, researchers were able to study the fine details of the penguin’s feathers. The feathers contained the typical network of barbs, barbules, and miniature interlocking hooks, but also had “many elaborate wrinkles.” Not only were there “elaborate wrinkles,” but the feather structure had microscopic grooves causing air entrapment on a microscale. The Journal of Physical Chemistry reported that this miniature structure, along with the penguin’s special preening oil, kept super-cooled water from sticking. Researchers then built a replica of the Humboldt penguin’s feathers and no ice formed even when the model was sprayed for hours with super-cooled water. Scientists have copied the feather’s unique structural design in an effort to develop an ice-free fiber membrane. Penguin feathers have a wonderful architectural design which means there had to be an architect. There is and He is God.’http://www.searchforthetruth.net/
Genesis 1:21
“And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
‘There is a chocolate-covered snack bar in the UK called a Penguin, with a picture of that bird on its wrapper, and for 40 years, TV commercials have urged us to “Pick up a Penguin”. Most of us would like to do just that, as these flightless birds are among our favorites. They seem to have charm in bucket loads, and, for many of us, the penguin enclosure is one of the first ports of call when we visit the zoo. They amuse and delight us with their awkward, waddling gait, but if their enclosure has an underwater viewing window, then their gracefulness enthralls us as they use their wings, appearing to fly through the water.
One British comedian remarked that penguins exist to show men what useless fathers we are. It is true that the males of many penguin species seem to be expert fathers, taking care of chicks and even incubating eggs for their mates.
Evolutionists struggle to understand penguins. The oldest known penguin fossil appears to be just like a modern penguin, despite being given an evolutionary age of 62 million years. They do not appear to be related to any other family of birds. Evolutionists also have no mechanism or explanation for why penguins are only seen in the Southern Hemisphere.
As usual, it makes far more sense to reason that the penguin kind was a separate creation by God, who gave them all their delightful qualities.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/pick-up-a-penguin/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pick-up-a-penguin&mc_cid=9ea7341aec&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
