Of course, Mr. Kjell B. Sandved steals God's creation and gives credit to mother (the devil) nature.
The Butterfly Alphabet is a photographic work done by the Norwegian born photographer Kjell B. Sandved. Sandved worked at National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C. and by chance he came up with the idea, finding all the letters of the Latin alphabet and the Arabic numerals 0 to 9 in the patterns on the wings of butterflies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjell_B._Sandved

His photographic excursions led him to Brazil, Congo, Papua New Guinea and Philippines. In 1975, he finished his alphabet, and published it in the Smithsonian Magazine. http://butterflyalphabet.com/main/index.php


Psalm 27:4 "One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple."

The beautiful wing of the butterfly has a lesson to teach everyone who believes living things were created by chance. The design of the butterfly wing involves much more than just intricate complexity. In addition to showing a knowledge of flight, each wing design is the product of very precise specifications built around the specific wavelengths of visible light.

The iridescent colors you admire on a butterfly's wing are created by the scales of the wings. Each square centimeter of wing has tens of thousands of these scales, each attached to the wing by tiny stems and overlapping each other like cedar shakes. Each one of these scales was a living cell until a day or two before the butterfly emerged from its pupa. Each tiny scale is made of a vertical and horizontal framing within which are found various sacks of pigment hanging from the framework.

Butterfly wings that seem to glow with iridescent blues and greens have scales with tiny lattices and ribbed walls that are designed to cause interference patterns in light waves within the 300 700 nanometer range -- exactly the range humans see as color. That interference pattern is what our eyes interpret as iridescence.

It takes a good knowledge of physics as well as micro architecture to design and build an iridescent butterfly wing! Science clearly teaches us that such ability and knowledge does not come from chance. Let's be bold to admit the truth -- there is a Creator!

Prayer:
Father in heaven, a child can see the beauty of Your handiwork in the wing of the butterfly. Through my witness, help those who have been fooled by evolution to see You in Your creation and our salvation in our Savior, Jesus Christ. In His Name. Amen.

"science clearly teaches us" that Evolution is how all life forms developed on Earth. There is no other theory besides evolution which is supported by mountains of evidence. No designer, but also not simply chance. Get it right.

Please do not lie about evolution to make your videos. Tell the truth!

[IndulgingExistence]

The mutations are chance, the survival of every organism is not chance. The theory of evolution is not chance.

So are you are saying butterflies' colored wings were created for man's enjoyment and therefore plays no part in their own survival? If they did show a survival advantage would this disprove the creationists' theory?

@BereanBeacon1 - It's very refreshing to be greeted by somebody that believes as strongly as you do, especially after having an atheist argue with me forever on a different vid. Your faith is strong and admirable, God bless you.

[BereanBeacon1]

@DallasNeedsADentist I and other active Christians hand out tracts to strangers everyday. Try it and you will be blessed.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

[DallasNeedsADentist]

@BereanBeacon1 - Well exactly and I think that we're saying the same thing. :) I'm just saying that I wouldn't go up to a complete stranger on the street and go "Hi I'm Christian." How I'd probably go about it is if I'm having a conversation with somebody and they say that they are having a hard time dealing with life I'd suggest Christ, start proclaiming Him and his salvation, and tell them how He has worked in my life to help me in hard times. This is just one example of how I proclaim Him.

@comanche661 Amen, Brother!

[BereanBeacon1]

@DallasNeedsADentist Too many Christians are hiding out under "life style" evangelism because they are afraid to expose themselves. Telling others about the free gift of God is not "shoving" , but demonstrates that we love them and want them saved. LDS, SDA, JWs, Catholics, etc all appear on the outside as "good" people.

[BereanBeacon1]

@DallasNeedsADentist Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Matthew 5:13,14

[BereanBeacon1]

@DallasNeedsADentist Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:15,16
