My paper airplanes don't fly that well!
O LORD, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
In wisdom have you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.

Just leave the paper on the table for a couple billion years. It'll figure it out for itself.
It is always good to see and be reminded of how gloriously creative God is. We as humans would literally kill for a device as elegant and efficient as this seed, and yet this Indonesian vine produces who knows how many every year.
wv: outbake.
WAY cool.
Awesome! I love this series. Thank you, Dan! Homeschool science fodder for today!
seeds are much smarter today than when we were kids... I think it has something to do with New Math...
My wife said that she thought the video was magical and it gave her goose bumps.
For the record, she said it was because of how God created something so intricate even though so few people would notice.
Wow.
I love showing these to the boys.
Thanks :0)
Whoops! The article's author let the d-word slip...
"They found that design of the seed is so good that it achieves a descent angle of just 12 degrees, a property that has led to the seed's shape inspiring the design of aircraft."

Good catch. I'm sure he'll be roundly shunned.
