See-through survivors - Des survivants translucides

- In waters above a whitened seafloor, white fish, white anemones, white gorgonians, sterilized by phosphate mining runoff, transparent creatures reclaim the sea. Drifting medusas and their cousins—tunicates, siphonophores, ctenophores, jellies and salps — are composed of 90 percent water. These gelatinous creatures are found throughout the world and, survivors that they are, can explode into damaging populations when conditions are too stressful for their predators.

- Dans les eaux surplombant des fonds marins blanchis, des poissons, anémones et gorgones de couleur blanche, rendus stériles par les émissions des exploitations de phosphates, et des créatures transparentes reconquièrent la mer. Les méduses et leurs cousins — tuniciers, siphonophores, cténophores et salpes — sont constituées de 90 % d'eau. On trouve ces créatures gélatineuses partout dans le monde et leur nombre peut exploser, créant des populations nuisibles, quand les conditions deviennent trop difficiles pour leurs prédateurs.

So fascinating and beautiful! I hope I never learn anything about these creatures, so that they will retain their mysterious beauty

@Andruth34 Ever think that maybe God allows things to adapt and evolve? I have come to realize that many people will make up anything to be away from God, to do their own thing. It's easier to believe in God than it is not to, & when you truly seek God you will find Him. Our life on Earth is our last chance to be with Him, by believing in Jesus' death for our sins & his resurrection. To look at such a creature & say 'Evolution, no God' to me is ridiculous :O for I have found Him

Oh, if someone's curios, the animal in 0:26 is called Venus's girdle (up to 150cm long) who is a comb jelly and one of the largest animals to use cilia for movement.

Humans dont claim to be perfect, and our creations are not perfect either. But I would expect perfection, or at least close to perfection from a perfect being.
