I want to thank The Creation Club for posting this article on their website!

Check out their website for tons of great content on Biblical creation.

Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Job 12:7-9  Waves at low tide and a stranded Cannonball Jelly (Stomolophus meleagris) on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Revelation 21:6 “To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.” Why are scientists always looking for water on other planets? Because life can’t exist without water! NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory writes, "Liquid water is a necessity for every form of life known. With this in mind, scientists are eagerly searching for liquid water in places other than Earth." Each creature on this planet requires different amounts of water for survival. The Kangaroo Rat never drinks, but gets all the water it needs from eating seeds. And we all know about the famous camel that can trek across the hot deserts for months without taking a drink. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the jellyfish not only lives in water, but is nearly entirely composed of water. This squishy ocean creature is about 95% water and 5% organic material. When you see a jellyfish stranded on the beach, he will soon disappear under the hot sun, evaporating into the sky.  When you see a jellyfish stranded on the beach, he will soon disappear under the hot sun... We humans require about 2.5 quarts of water per day. Without it, our blood thickens as we become dehydrated and we quickly die. You could probably last over a month without food, but won’t make it a week without water! Even though some animals require far less water than humans, the truth remains that all animals will eventually die if they go without the water that they need. God did this to demonstrate to us that without Him, we would die.
