We watched this whole video in my General Biology class today: it's called Sexual Encounters of the Floral Kind. Whoever made this is fabulous and hilarious and I encourage you to youtube all the different parts of this video. I am dumbfounded. This was probably my favorite flower that was shown. I have no idea how this could have evolved: it must have been engineered. It looks and smells like the female wasp? The stem is engineered to bend back and forth? It's organized to carry out a plan. A complex plan with multiple steps. Remind me again why I want to be a botanist and teach?
I kind of hate to throw this verse out there, because I feel it's never done well and usually in ignorance and out of emotion, but as a biologist that has studied genetics and evolution, I see engineering in this.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20
