The Astonishing Stork's Bill

The John 10:10 Project has produced some wonderful videos, beautifully shot and compelling in the case they make for a mind behind the universe and life.

The short video below is no exception.

It illustrates the mechanism by which seeds of a flower called the stork's bill burrow into the soil.

That may sound simple, but when you realize how many adaptations must have occurred in this one species to enable this "behavior" to occur, and when it's remembered that naturalistic evolution is an unguided process that has no goal in mind, it seems incredible a plant would evolve this means of propagation when it could have distributed its seeds just like any other flowering plant does.

In other words, there's no particular survival need for this very complex mode of reproduction, so how did it arise? How did the mindless process of mutation and natural selection produce it?

Think about those questions as you watch.
