The Egyptian vulture drops stones onto eggs to break them, so it
can eat the contents.
One might think that the bird has used its intelligence to think up
this strategy, but that is not correct.
Neither has it learned the trick.
An egyptian vulure chick was separated from its parents from
hatching, and isolated so it could not learn about stones and eggs,
yet when it grew up, the moment it saw an egg it tried to find a
stone to drop on it.
At first it threw stones indirectly at the egg, but eventually it refined
its shot and got the target.

Behaviour like this is inherited, but from where?
The egyptian vulture lives among several other species of vulture,
but they NEVER drop stones on eggs!
This indicates that the behaviour is already programmed into the
vulture from the time of its origin.

This points us to creation,
and to a wise Creator,
who knows how to write

intelligent code called DNA.
