A “Sticky” Problem

A gecko lizard’s most famous ability is to walk upside down … or across a window. You see Tiny hairs, much thinner than our own, compose ridges on gecko’s feet. Each hair splits into even tinier hair ends. Now This creates a special attraction so strong, that a gecko can hang upside down by a single toe.

To “unstick,” the gecko simply changes the angle of the hair, and away it goes. And fossilized geckos, even from supposedly one hundred million years ago, have the same foot structure as geckos today.

That’s because God created them, they didn’t evolve.
