DAY 5
Genesis 1:20-23 :
20 And God said: “Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.”
21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm,
according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying:
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 And there was evening and there was morning — the fifth day.
God created all birds and creatures that live in water, both small and large.
HE created the animals and creatures according to their kind. This means that there was no common organism from which different types of animals or living creatures evolved.
Have you noticed that God created many fish and birds very colorful and special? It is fascinating !
Explore a few more amazing facts about God’s design 🤩:
This bird (Pacific Golden Plover) has a built-in
navigation system.
After breeding, it flies 4,500 km non-stop at a speed of 50km/h across the Pacific Ocean. It spends the winter on the island of Hawaii which is located in the middle of the Pacific.
Without prior training and without support from their parents, the young animals choose the same route and hit the exact target!
Eagles are very good fliers and excellent hunters.
They have a keen eyesight to scan the ground below for movement. An eagle’s vision is about
four to five times sharper than that of a human, making it possible for these birds to identify a rabbit or a fish from as far as 3 km away.
When diving after prey, a golden eagle can reach 240 to 320 kilometres per hour! They have an average wingspan of 2 meters.
Dolphins use sound waves for orientation and communicate with each other over long
distances. Some of these sounds cannot even be heard by us humans.
This scary looking fish lives in the seas at a depth of 300 to 4000m. Its name is “deep-sea anglerfish” because of the glowing rod it uses to lure prey into its mouth.
In science, this glow is called bioluminescence. There are even more creatures that produce bioluminescence, for example to scare off enemies and thereby protect themselves.
After a touch stimulus (e.g. waves on the shore, see picture), microorganisms send out light signals and make the sea glow blue.
