RE: [asa] AIG -- Scientists! Give it up!

What I am always struck by with this response regarding migration habits is how little they have thought about what there own explanaton implies.

The implicaton is that God created salmon, or birds, or monarch butterflies with exact programs for returning to particular places. However, if this is the case what then of the Flood? Monarch butterlies didn't migrate to San Juan Capistrano prior to a global flood because the region of the world didn't exist as it does today. Those rivers the Salmon are returning to didn't exist either. According to YEC, the magnetic field of the earth may have been very different in the past. Did God create these organisms with some programming for return to a particular place he knew would exist after the flood?

Subject: [asa] AIG -- Scientists! Give it up!
 
From AIG this week, a command for scientists to give up the quest.

Q: Why are the migration habits of salmon so amazing?

A: The migration of salmon is a fascinating phenomenon. Pacific
salmon have a built-in guidance system.

Research indicates that salmon are able to use the earth's magnetic
field and the position of the sun, moon and stars. They also have the
ability to detect the chemical composition of the stream from which
they actually began their life. All this to enable salmon to return
to their native stream to spawn!

How can evolutionary scientists be so blind? The salmon's astounding
ability to navigate great distances with perfect accuracy is
impossible to explain as a result of purposeless and unguided
evolution.

While we may be impressed by man's achievements, such as building
guided missiles, how much more should we worship the Creator God who
made the salmon?
