The Mathematical Ability Of Plants Plants use a complex process called photosynthesis to extract energy from sunlight to create food. Studies on certain species have revealed that they perform yet another feat - they calculate the optimum rate at which to absorb that food overnight! Consider: By day, plants convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into starch and sugars. During the night, many species consume the starch stored during the day, thus avoiding starvation and maintaining plant productivity, including growth. Moreover, they process the stored starch at just the right rate - not too quickly and not too slowly - so that they use about 95 percent of it by dawn, when they start making more. The finding were based on experiments on a plant of the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana. Researchers found that this plant carefully rations its food reserves according to the length of the night, no matter whether 8, 12 or 16 hours remain until dawn. Evidently, the plant divides the amount of starch available by the length of time remaining until dawn, thus determining the optimal rate of consumption. How do plants ascertain their starch reserves? How do they measure time? What mechanism enables them to do math? Further research may shed light on these questions. What do you think? Did the mathematical ability of of plants come about by mere chance such as evolutionists say? Or...was it designed by a magnificent and wonderfully creative God? Since Jehovah God is the ultimate mathematician I am choosing to believe the Bible's account of creation. One thing I do appreciate though is the ability of man to do these amazing researches and experiments to explain God's wonderful abilities. We surely live in an amazing time in history for so very many reasons. Love Katidid. |

Too right Rest, It is certainly one of the few benefits of the age we live in, for sure, that we are learning so very much about God's creative genius. I am just learning about beneficial bugs and the intricacy of their lives and cycles....amazing stuff. For eg,....the white cabbage moth recognizes brassica from their shape....who'd have thunk it, 'ey....so if you plant plants of a different shape and that are a bit taller with your cabbages and such....the moth doesn't recognize them. I just thought bugs were bugs and they ate your plants, grin. In fact, I am not entirely sure I thought much more about it at all. Amazing. Jehovah is amazing. No doubt about it. Tis so true what Romans 1:20 says....For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. Thanks for your lovely comment. Love Katidid.
