Planet Earth 2
A second "Planet Earth" has come along from the BBC and it looks beautiful. Eventually I'll watch and enjoy it. But John Stonestreet already has, and found something weird.
The script makes statements like these:
"This frog “discovered a way to avoid wasps by becoming transparent,” these hummingbirds have “traded convenience for longer beaks,” this jaguar, sloth, penguin, or bat has “found” a unique solution to the challenges of its environment."
Really? A frog discovered, a hummingbird traded, a jaguar found? No hummingbird has ever weighed the pros and cons of trading away convenience to get a longer beak. The writers of this script know that but they can't resist saying it this way . . for a pretty good reason: intuition.
It's almost impossible to learn about this incredible world and conclude that it's all just random. Our universal intuition says it was designed intelligently. Either our Creator did that, or (according to the BBC) the hummingbird designed its own features.
