entering. The hairs on this valve are very touch-sensitive. If an
insect or another organism in the water touches them, the valve
suddenly opens and causes a powerful water current to rush
into the empty bladder. The valve then closes before the victim

knows what is happening. The whole process takes place in
about one-thousandth of a second, and immediately afterwards
the glands begin to secrete substances to digest the trapped
prey. 37

Every bladderwort possesses this same perfect design and
the same internal glands, and the hairs on the valves all have
the same sensitivity to touch. So how did this mechanism come
into being? How did it happen that all members of this species

of water plant have exactly the same features?
Evolutionists assert that such features are all the result of
coincidence. Yet this design actually points to one single truth:
Living things emerged all at once, in full possession of all of

their features. Only Almighty God could create all living things
as we see them today.

Sharks’ Unique Heating Systems
White sharks, which catch their prey by following it with
their eyes, experience no difficulty when swimming off hot
coral shores. In cold ocean waters, however, their vision should

be impaired by the cold.
Under normal conditions, their eyes should find it difficult
to follow their prey, since chemical reactions slow them down
under the influence of the cold water. Yet white sharks never en-

counter such difficulties, for while they are cold-blooded, the
