Creation vs. Evolution: The Amazing Gecko

[seanstrnad]

I hope nobody wastes their money on this silliness.

[sortoflemur]

A word to my fellow human beings who question the existence of God. Please dare to sincerely speak into the air, asking for evidence of God's existence : ask Him - Whom you do not believe exists - to show Himself to you, visibly. He's done it before, He'll do it again, for you! And don't be afraid - His presence is the sweetest thing you will ever experience! Take the challenge! I dare you! Prove it once and for all.

[seanstrnad]

@sortoflemur funny, God isn't revealed to me and I have prayed vainly into the thin air. If you think God talks to you it only goes to show your massive ego.

[sortoflemur]

How privileged we are to be called by Him to be The Children of The Most High, we who acknowledge our Ineffably Wonderful Father. Thank you, Lord God. Thank You for Your Son. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit Who leads us into wisdom, truth, peace and joy! Glory to God in the highest!

[sortoflemur]

Awesome, amazing Lord of all, Lord of creation, our Lord! We worship You with our whole being, eternally grateful that You are Love, Truth, Beauty, Compassion, Faithful, and all that is GLORIOUS!

[UR2AwesomeGod]

Amazing, how creative is our God Amen. How each animal has it's characteristics. The beautiful colour in animals and plants. Awesome.

[rickgigliotti]

another nice video, but it won't save you 15% on your car insurance. 

Hope you learn something from it though...

[gienadi]

The ending sounds just like one of John Lajoie's commercial.

[DutchNordic]

And the stupid creationist statement of the day is...

"gecko's and chance evolution know nothing about the vanderwaals forces"

[luv4drums1]

how is a gecko sticking to a wall evidence of a creator?

[chrisjohnhurley]

That's stunning

[tekproxy]

All sounds good until 1:35. Chance evolution is not the same thing as evolution by natural selection. Chance evolution is a propaganda term invented by ignorant creationists. Why trust people that can't even get their science straight?

[Joncl]

So it is chance then? Good. That argues positively for evolution. Nuff said.

[aes7878]

Until you can understand genetics enough to comprehend DNA is a set of blueprints that replicates, not a random kaleidoscope generating unfeasible results, you shouldn't be commenting on evolution.

Time after time, scientific studies have shown that mutations have deleterious effects. They are not a cornucopia of life, producing salubrious and ingenious improvements throughout phenomenally exaggerated time periods.

Get an education. True science does not have to rely on hoaxes and fraud.

[intelligentfalling]

lol "science science science science science science...GOD DUN DID EEEEEEEEEEEEEETT!!!"

[jcknowles24]

This video was not bad until....

"While geckos and "chance" (WTF?) evolution know nothing of Van der Waals' Principle, the creator that made them both left his signature in this unique and elligent design.."

Uhhhhhh, what? Nice ASSertion. I mean, at least Hovid would try to formulate arguments to get to this point, but CM just throws it right in, no lube.

And when it refers to the "both" the creator created, was it talking of geckos and Van der Waals, or geckos and "chance" evolution?

[apestaartje321]

Its a sad day when Hovind is exceeded in his anti-intellectuality.

[zandone45]

Evolution is what made the gecko that way. !!!!!

Reptiles have been around for 320 million years!!

that's a long time, that's how the gecko evolved its strong Feet

[hollandturbine]

Keratin is often found at the end of digits and is used by most animals for gripping it is what claws and hair is made from. The Gecko's diet consists of insects that like to cling and so the Gecko has evolved to cling, other insect eating animals have evolved different methods of clinging, if intelligent design were true then all clinging insect eaters would have the same design...but they don't because the evolved independently.

[poppi4012]

It is amazing what detail God has attended to in his creation. And it only took one week!

[dohara12]

Man is humbled again by God's design.

[cfmmrjeff]

As the psalmist wrote,

"When I consider the heavens...what is man that Thou art mindful of him?"

[mtw4Jesus]

I really enjoy Creation Moments. I first heard it on a Christian radio station then they went out and I finally got in online years later! Way to Go!! Keep on teaching the Beauty of Christs' Creation!!

[jonpy55]

Even if it means misrepresting the truth and lying to people? Ive seen a lot of Christians blatantly lie about evolution in attempts to subvert people. I have no problem wit people believing whatever they like but it really gets me when they say something when even the most basic research would show it to be incorrect. Re this vid. So what? Theres a lot more complex things out there than geckos feet and they have FA to do with a 'god'. Get an education.

[mtw4Jesus]

Sir, with all due respect, If one desires to learn the truth, then it takes honest, unprejudiced inquiry. Even Richard Dawkins, states he doesn't know how we got here and that we we're probably " created" by a alien race?? OK, but, then he states " but, they must've evolved?? We must search the truth out, our very lifes depend on it.

[jonpy55]

Richard Dawkins said we could have been created by aliens for all he knows, i could say we could have been created by a four-headed camel for all i know. He deals with the origins of species, not life, and so can speculate like anyone else. His point is that the origins of life is not known, not by you, me, or anyone else. What the hell does that have do with evolution anyway?! 'Unprejudiced inquiry'? Youre hilarious. Funny that you would misrepresent what he said tho eh?

[cheyennerider56]

Match this Mother Nature. See if you can duplicate the Gecko's feet by sheer chance!!

[BrellK]

Yea, it's a shame that you grossly oversimplified Evolution. And honestly anyone that finds this to be a useful video, you probably need to go get a High School Diploma.

[Sojoboro]

Geckos are so cute! ^_^

But wait, wasn't this supposed to convince me of God's presence or something?

[cfmmrjeff]

yes, design demands a Designer Who made it.

[Sojoboro]

Ah, okay, so because geckos exist, and they appear complex enough to constitute a Creator (aside from the deceivingly simple mechanisms on a gecko that cause the ones shown here), every single thing you believe in must be infallibly true. Yeah. Kay.

[spoiledpups]

People who believe in Evolution are uneducated. They should search for "Evolution Handbook" and read it.

[funhistory]

Way to go, CMI!!!

[theoretix12]

I'm glad to see that CreationMoments has expanded its program to YouTube. This approach will expand the message 100,000-fold. I've been learning a lot from CreationMoments audio and print literature - areas that are bypassed in Evolution classes, or never discussed in such classes. Congratulation CreationMoments.

[reberlin]

God bless you for speaking the truth.

[JMWSR69]

Our God is an Awesome God! He has thought of every little detail.

[jbkJeff]

That's so fascinating. I can't imagine anyone could believe the Gecko evolved.

God is so awesome!

[mjazzguitar]

Even though there are no transitional forms, evolutionists still claim that evolution is a fact. The gecko's amazing ability could never have come about by mutations.

[tntsue]

very good point about no transitional forms.

[alphapython100]

Very cool ... creation continues to show our awesome God really is.

[craigspofford]

Nice presentation on the truth. A very old comment on this video said this "You do realize that animals do not choose to evolve, correct?". Well, neither did they choose to be designed. The key idea here is a matter of origins and an amazement at the harmony of how things work. A Designer is responsible for these things, not random chance mutations.

[gnt7375]

I have been a listener for one year, and am continually fascinated with how evolution is constantly proved wrong. Now I also have the pleasure of seeing photos of God's cration while listening to your show. thank you for this awesome opportunity.

[ruthlyngw]

I only started listening to CM on the Harbouor Light of the Windwards AM1400 recently and have really enjoyed the clear and gloriuos messages of the wonders of our creator God, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is awesome to see it now on YouTube. Great job. THANKS

[scooterep1]

"spiderman" should be "geckoman"

[iwitnessforchrist]

I've listened to CM on the radio for years, and am thrilled that the program has evolved to YouTube! Pictures only reinforce the image created in the mind's eye when listening to the program. The creative genius of God is shown all around us, even as so many are blinded by the imaginary world of evolution.

Thanks for offering us proof every day that we were all wonderfully made by a loving Creator!!

[redemed4gd]

Thank You, Creation Moments, for continuing to share the wonder of God's creation with all of us even in the midst of those who would be critical. There is an old saying that "There are none so blind as he who will not see." If one chooses to deny creation and our creator and turn blind eyes and deaf ears to the truth I guess only that same Creator can reach you.

Thank You again, Creation Moments,for confirming what we who believe already know!!!!

[sunlight1123]

I thank God that he would even think on man

enough to show our hearts that everything around us tells of our creators power and how very much his creation is saying to our hearts Im alive if we will take the time to stop and look around and see god is good. I really like the creation moments web sight

keep proclaming our creators voice through his

creation thank you.

[nascarnick24]

This is amazing!

[SteveJS113]

It's mind-boggling to me that evolutionists will look at the gecko and believe that their "glue" is a matter of time, chance and natural selection. I guess I don't have enough blind faith to be an evolutionist! The gecko's ability to walk on ceilings has DESIGN written all over it.

[heidilisbeth]

It just amazes me how anyone could think that evolution caused this!!

Our Creator is awesome!!

To think that scientists are only figuring out the amazing design for the gecko's ability to hang upside down shows how little we actually know about this wonderful creation.

[cfmmrjeff]

Awesome video that used REAL evidence to point to a Creator! Great job!

[fillmein05]

@cfmmrjeff Sorry cfmmfjeff, that is not real evidence for a creator. Just because something is complex does not mean that it was designed by an intelligent source. Your standard of evidence for creation is too low.

[cfmmrjeff]

@fillmein So sorry 4u, as u disallow complexity leading to a conclusion...design=a designer. No one sees a painting & says, "An explosion formed this!" Sad, as your a priori, UNscientific view about evidence keeps you from allowing "a divine foot ..." (Lewontin: "We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill ...promises... because we have a prior commitment to materialism--we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

[fillmein05]

@cfmmrjeff Your result for design= designer is absurd. Comparing a non-living painting to a living thing (which is subject to natural selection) is not a valid analogy. At no point in the theory of evolution does it state that a big explosion formed the complexity of life as we see it today. Evolution says nothing about how life began; only how life has changed and increased in complexity and diversity over time. U are placing value on the feelings of religion to try to discredit evolution.Fail

[bdm9370]

It is really sad that people are so blinded by an evolutionary world view that they can't even realize most things would have been extinct if it too millions of years to evolve. There wouldn't even be the amazing creatures for us to even see if it truly was based on evolution. Even Richard Dawkins thinks intelligent design started our world. He just thinks it was aliens which then creates a whole other problem of beginning.

[fillmein05]

@bdm9370 Where do you get the idea that most "things" would have been extinct? Source? Are you serious about Richard Dawkins? I hope you are referring to the Ben Stein interview where Dawkins says that it could be possible for intelligent aliens to create life. He then says this would be exceedingly unlikely and doesn't actually believe that happened. He rather just said that it is a possibility. Good job spreading a lie.

[GuitarXdude]

@bdm9370 You do realize that more than half the species that began on this earth are now extinct, right? Don't be foolish, keep an open mind, and learn your facts before you present them.

[SiriusMined]

@bdm9370

" they can't even realize most things would have been extinct if it too millions of years to evolve. "

But, that's exactly what we find. More species have gone extinct than are alive tody

[luv4drums1]

@bdm9370 it doesnt take millions of years to evolve... natural selection can produce favorable features for a organism to help it survive a certain problem within a few thousand years... such as humans becoming less hairy.

[theviolator23]

@bdm9370

Don't be stupid, Richard Dawkins certainly does not believe intelligent design started out world. He make a reference that he guessed it was possible but the aliens would have had to come about by Darwinian means for Ben Stien's stupid movie. I understand that you are a creationist and quote-mining is in your blood but try to honest in you comments.

It is really sad that people are so blinded by a religious view that they cannot accept elementary level science.

[bdm9370]

awesome video!

[MNshoes]

I've always been fascinated with how geckos can walk upside-down and on glass. To think that they developed this feature through trial and error is crazy! How could they have survived long enough to hone their grip while predators are eating them? How about that tail thing too... if they couldn't just "fall" off, how would they be able to get away while their feet were self improving? Thank you for sharing the fact that we owe all of our knowledge and advances to a Intelligent Creator!

[SiriusMined]

@MNshoes

"How could they have survived long enough to hone their grip while predators are eating them? "

Do you ever consider that walking upside down isn't the ONLY way they travel?

[shadetail]

Those that had better methods for walking on many surfaces survived over time. The end result of coarse being this very effective means of doing so. Fits in with the theory of evolution just fine.

Also you say that the Geckos don't understand this concept so they must be designed. You do realize that animals do not choose to evolve, correct?

[oneak]

these people are a special kind of dumb.

[tellnet]

Ah yes... idling about, gaping in awe..

The joys of incredulity...

Arrah sure, 'tis true..

The All Might Be Magic Man did it ..

Reality is all wrong..

Truth is lies..

Logic is intuitive..

Reason is false..

The much, the more, the fewer, the higher, the rounder it gets.
