Welcome to another week of Teaching Creation Thursday! We have had some great discussions at Creation Conversations in Teaching Creation Thursday group. We would love for you to stop by and join our group.
God’s creations are amazing. What we will be sharing with you today will show you just how amazing His creations are. The book “Made in Heaven” is written by Ray Comfort and Jeffrey Seto and they show you how scientists, inventors and engineers have studied and examined God’s creations, and have drawn inspirations from all that God has created. Let’s take a look at an example from the book “Made in Heaven” to see how they do use God’s creation as inspiration.

The Spider and Bullet Proof Vests
We love the men and women who keep us safe. From local police officers to our military and our troops who serve overseas, these faithful protectors face dangers on a daily basis.
One of the greatest dangers that these brave men & women face is gunfire. Usually the only thing that stands between life and death is an anti-ballistic vest, commonly known as a bulletproof vest.
The most commonly known is Kevlar® which was invented in 1965 and has been synonymous with bulletproof vests. Unfortunately nothing practical exists that is bulletproof, only bullet resistant. Scientists have been cleverly searching new avenues to change that. Where they are looking may surprise you.
The spider may seem an unconventional source for the next generation of anti-ballistic defines. The spider has long been the stuff of myth, movie, story and fable. What isn’t a fable is the amazing strength found in their spider silk. It is the strongest known biological material to date.
Recently scientists have discovered that the Malagasy spider, also known as Darwin’s bark spider, is strand for strand 10 times stronger than Kevlar®. Can the search for the next super material be closer than we think?

I’m trying to remember what the comment I was supposed to make was. I think saying a platypus has always amazed me, it’s such an odd combination of things.
We use sonar. I think bats and dolphins (?) do as well.
