Marine Iguanas Cause Heart Attacks In Evolutionists

No Heartbeat? Don't Worry!
I Chronicles 16:24
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

Evolutionists say that an animal's unique features developed because the unique feature gives the animal some survival benefit. Just what that benefit might be is open to interpretation, and sometimes the explanation is a little fuzzy. Sometimes the explanation just doesn't work.

Such is the case with the marine iguanas of the Galapagos islands. These iguanas are excellent swimmers and search underwater for much of their food. However, when they are underwater they are vulnerable to the marine food chain. Sharks find the marine iguanas very tasty. With their sensitive hearing, these predators can hear the heartbeat of a hiding iguana 12 feet away. So part of the iguana's defense is to stop its heartbeat voluntarily. Amazingly, the iguana can keep its heart stopped for up to 45 minutes without suffering any ill effects.

Evolutionists explain that this ability evolved because it gives the iguana a survival advantage in shark-infested waters. Obviously, a creature's ability to stop its heart for this long requires some major internal modifications. To believe that the iguana knew all the changes it needed to intentionally stop its heart for 45 minutes without death requires quite a leap of faith! However, this evolutionary explanation just doesn't work. The Komodo dragon can also stop its heart. For the Komodo this ability provides no survival advantage, for these huge lizards have no natural enemies.

These lizards received their special abilities from their wise Creator. Their special abilities glorify Him, not mindless evolution.

Prayer: Dear Lord, Your works fill me with wonder. I glorify You as my Savior. Amen.

Marine Iguanas are too cool to support such a backwards religion.

@ScottishAtheist

If the iguana "doesn't know anything" how did the first iguana to use this feature know it had this ability, and when to use it?

Marine Iguanas are excellent evidence of evolution, and found where? ONLY in the Galapagos. They were documented there by guess who? The immeasurably evil Charles Darwin! Of course the unique land iguanas are not mentioned here, what a surprise. And the REALITY is that no CREATIONIST will debate in a public forum under scientific guidelines, none of the major creationists will go anywhere near such a debate.

@HellecticMojo No evolutionist will debate in a public forum under scientific guidelines because they have been told they will lose. All you have are excuses from your Lame Excuse Handbook for debate dodging. Why not debate and destroy the "invisible individual" once and for all?

[HellecticMojo]

@BereanBeacon1 yes, I am used to science fiction, and from this I can tell this is it. Features that share common ancestry between creatures is called atavism.

Also attacking my ability to judge reality or fiction is frankly not yours to judge and one topic that you really shouldn't comment on when you support an invisible individual that only appears to texts that was edited and chosen by the Roman Emperor Constantine when he legalized Christianity.

dick...

[BereanBeacon1]

@HellecticMojo You are probably so used to science fiction that real science seems foreign.

[HellecticMojo]

was expecting science. after being linked from BBC documentary.

I am dissapoint

@BereanBeacon1

I never said anything about evolution. I just said christianity is bullshit. And the bible is the farthest thing from science.

[BereanBeacon1]

@TheSynthExperience Believing in evolution is science fiction. Try real science and you will find it agrees with the creation account of the Bible.

Evolution:

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. Isaiah 66:4
