Christian Biology?

I began my college career going after a Biology degree hoping to advance on to medical school. Well.. I quickly realized I did not want to sign my life away like how they want you to for 8+ years (you're supposed to, well, HAVE to study every moment of every day if you want to obtain a good grade) maybe that's me just being lazy but anyways back to the point of this blog.

However, I still have my love to learn about our natural world and the way things work. Through my studies I heard a lot of debate about God and the sciences and if you can believe in both. Don't get me wrong there are some things science teaches that totally contradict my beliefs, HOWEVER, more times than it contradicts it AFFIRMS my belief in God as well. And THAT my friends is one reason I love it so much.   : D

I saw this video the other day to one of the STEM channels I subscribe to on youtube and I thought it was so cool! It shows these moths that have wings that look EXACTLY- and I mean exactly like leaves found in their natural habitat. There is no other explanation but there to have been a LOGICAL MIND behind the formation of how these wings look. Yes there was natural selection that took place and even a certain amount of evolution. But natural selection did not know the habitat in which these species survived to turn the designs on their wings to look so precisely like these leaves(look at footnote if you want me to elaborate). Not all species evolve to look so similar to their surroundings- I feel like it's God's way of slipping in something that irrefutably points to him in nature. Love you guys talk to you soon!

Here's the video if you want to check it out! This girl is pretty awesome.






FOOTNOTE!!! Yes I know how natural selection works, things are picked off as in survival of the fittest- the moths either from the beginning of their existence looked like these leaves (which idk about you but I think that directly points to a designer ie: God) or they began with a more simple design that obviously didn't look like their habitat, but it slowly evolved to look like that leaf. Which in turn- how did natural selection pick for the design to turn into the characteristics of that leaf? Let's say the wings started off with say one line on some or all of the wings wouldn't all have been an equal target? Yes some would maybe of had closer coloring to their habitat which would have given them a higher survival rate, and over many many years the look narrowed down to what would resemble a leaf. But the preciseness of the way these wings look something would of had to direct the formation of the way they formed outside of just the process of "survival of the fittest". This surely cannot be happen stance. ;)

*I know I have some scientific friends and people that will read this and will probably be all about disproving my statement. However I'm very used to this, it's just a thought and my belief, come at me with whatever you got.  It's all good friendliness around here.
