Dolphins at Play
Job 40:20
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Bottlenose dolphins have a reputation as intelligent, playful creatures. A newly released video shows just how intelligent their play is.

The video shows various dolphins creating rotating bubble rings which seem to hover in the water for a few seconds. The dolphins do this by first creating a water vortex with their dorsal fin. The ends of the vortex then come together into an invisible ring. Then the dolphin injects air from its blowhole into the spinning vortex. The vortex has enough energy to hold the ring from rising too quickly for play. Such a vortex bubble is about two feet across. However, dolphins might play with the vortex to create a smaller ring. Sometimes a dolphin will insert a smaller bubble ring inside a larger ring. They also create rings that flip vertically or even flip completely over. Sometimes a dolphin will create two bubble rings that collide and produce a third ring. The video shows one dolphin creating a large ring and watching it rise through the water. Just before the ring breaks the surface, the dolphin swims through the ring and leaps from the water.

Intelligence and such play as this are linked. Our Creator has not just shared intelligence and creativity with man. He clearly has shared some of His intelligence and creativity with His other creatures as well.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the beauty of Your creation and sharing Your creativity with so much of Your creation. Amen.

  • Hmmm... I would consider another possibility: natural selection favored the evolution of intelligence in dolphins, as it did in the development of humans.

  • There are huge amounts of scientific evidence, especially from fossil records which you can see in any museum, that dolphins and humans evolved through natural selection over millions of years. Where is the scientific evidence for a creator? There is none. Claiming we don't have ENOUGH evidence for evolution does not act as evidence for YOUR theory about an invisible man in the sky controlling everything.

  • Awesome!!!!!!

  • @KnowledgeAddicted Hopefully you are better fucking your sister THAN you are at speaking the English language.

  • One word: FAITH.

  • Does this mean god was a Dolphin?

  • Uhhhh? And which one turned into a Dolphin?

  • I dont like much debate with lames online but i just must say that God is so awsome!! or in the athiest view it would be your big bang pile of soup turning into this is so cool!! lol

  • No answer to my point, but just mockery with a slight dig at me personally. Parr for the course with those defending Creationism.

    And btw, I used the plural of equilibrium.

  • I've noticed that every species that has reached intelligence levels close to our own (whales and dolphins, chimpanzees, and elephants), have complex emotions, creativity, playfulness, altruism, some form of language, and long term memory. Also homosexuality happens in a lot of species, and morals exist in many social animals.
