Macrocilix Maia, a Malaysian moth- mimics an entire scene on its wings: A pair of flies approaching bird droppings! 61-year-old Alan Moore of Faulkner University in Montgomery, Ala., USA, became the country's oldest ever college football player after joining the team as a placekicker!

80 milliseconds that’s too long and wow mr. Balducci you should find someone that loves you and not what’s between your pants.

From what I’ve seen of most people… it takes a lot longer than 80 milliseconds… ESPECIALLY if said people have cell phones in their hands.

I knew cell phones could make popcorn but that’s a new one.

Alan Moore looks like someone sitting at the bar at the Italian restaurant when I pick up my carry out pizza.

Just the same, things like that Moth prove there is a God. Could things like that come into being on their own? What would be the odds? God lives, no matter how much the stupid atheists try to deny it!

It also proves the Lord hasa sense of humor.

Maybe dung beetles. they probably taste worse than flies,but I don’t know if birds would care unless what they mimic are poison or cause disese.

About God’s moth: A decent omnipotent engineer today would do better. It was the Lord’s first attempt on a lot of things, which explains why He got some things wrong… like the vermiform appendix and nearsightedness and color-blindness and cancer, not to mention humans having to kill each other just because the other person has different ideas. Maybe we’ll grow out of it—if we should live so long.

It is evident that all comments, including this one, were made prior to the 80 milliseconds having elapsed…but of course you are more than welcome to conclude differently. gretighoti-Ayn Rand thinking rules America today, if you are not a wolf you are a sheep…and sheep get eaten.

“And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” Genesis 1:31…including Adam and Eve until they sinned. “…and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” The whole creation was marred and corrupted, but “there will be a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.”
