[114]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – HAVE YOU STUDIED A FISH’S HEAD?

Perhaps the title of this poem seems strange but the fact of it is not strange. God has put His stamp on all creation. All is so intricately designed and interlocked. Man can not create even a flea yet alone some godless evolution discord. All things were created by Jesus Christ and demonstrate the glory of the Godhead.

One thing consistent in creation is that in living creatures, all have heads. Those heads are not random flukes of evolution with every possible distortion, but all is programmed in the most accurate DNA sequencing. The most wonderful thing about the heads of animals, birds, fish most insects, and humans of course is SYMMETRY.

One species of fish does not have 3 eyes, and another in that species 2, and another just 1. They all have symmetry with the left matching the right. He is a fool who discounts the Creator and adopts man’s demonic invention for that is what Darwin was. He was Satan’s scribe and writer of fairy tales.

{{Psalm 14:1-2 THE FOOL HAS SAID in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have committed abominable deeds. There is no one who does good. The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY WHO UNDERSTAND, WHO SEEK AFTER GOD.”}} Darwin sought not God and he will stand one day before the great white throne and his nonsense will condemn him.}}

Everything in creation is consistent, all symmetrically defined and confined. {{Genesis 1:20-21 Then 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.” God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves with which the waters swarmed AFTER THEIR KIND, and every winged bird AFTER ITS KIND, and God saw that it was good.”}}

=====================================================================

HAVE YOU STUDIED A FISH’S HEAD?

Have you ever studied a fish’s head?

That head has such a perfect design.

What if it possessed a square head instead?

Swiftness in the water, then won’t find. (wouldn’t find)

===================================

Those questions may seem rather stupid ones,

But what you have, is a creation,

Where quickness in the water, clearly comes

From that perfect design’s formation.

===================================

It did not happen because one fish said,

“I want to look a different way”.

The craftsmanship from the Lord God instead,

Was godly perfection on display.

===================================

The way the eyes are placed, the mouth, the nose,

Is integration beyond man’s skill.

All is built for streamlined pace, I propose,

Beyond any human being’s will.

===================================

Just now we concentrated on the head,

But consider the fish’s whole design -

Body shape, the fins, the tail, all outspread.

To God’s testament, they all combine.

===================================

The fish’s head is taken for granted,

But let man make something so unique.

He’d fall at the start, because implanted

In the fish, is God’s superb technique.

===================================
