Psalm [MKJV] 33:6-7 By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea like a heap, setting the depths in storehouses.

John [MKJV] 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.

Colossians [MKJV] 1:16-19 For all things were created in Him [Jesus], the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things. For it pleased the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell.

Hebrews [MKJV] 3:4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

 

  Biomimicry. Never heard of it? It’s nothing new, it’s just that in these latter times it has a name.

  Biomimicry is nothing more than observing nature, flora and fauna, wind and water, natural processes and forces et al, taking note of their form and function, and making useful mimic in items we use.

  Clueless though we may be, its application and usefulness is all around us. Consider the grace and strength of bridges, building skeletons, exo and otherwise, sound transmission, reception, and suppression . . . even the function, strength and grace of the common toilet is influenced by biomimicry.

  Many have heard that spider web material is stronger than steel pound for pound. But did you know that the thickness and tension of the strands is not always the same in every area of a web? When an arriving meal struggles it sends out vibrations thru the web. Due to the tuning, Mr. Spider knows exactly where to go for a yummy meal without searching. Imagine: Luscious horsefly in sector 4 in the key of C. And training the kiddies with a game of Name That Tune! Or the ARACHNID WORLD-HERALD headlines, “Terry Tarantula Dies Prematurely Due To Tin Ear”?

  Mr. Spider’s design is being studied by Boeing in the hope that they can structurally redesign plane frames to direct and control noise.

  Biomimicry is a nice catchy sounding man-word, when really it is He of The Word, Master Designer, Engineer, Creator and Sustainer; His work that is being studied, though, as is typical of man, I don’t think we’ll see His name on the credits.  EBB4
