DID YOU KNOW....
   
That earthworms are highly specialized creatures?  They seem obviously 
designed for their important task of burrowing through soil.  They 
burrow into the ground in all parts of the world, and make an 
important contribution to the fertilization, aeration, and drainage of 
the soil.
   
Earthworms swallow huge amounts of earth, digest the nutritive matter 
it contains, then cast up the remains onto the surface of the ground 
or in their burrows.  In this way, they work at a constant and 
effective system of plowing.  An average acre of soil may house three 
million earthworms, which can move about 18 tons of soil in a year.  
Their work is so thorough that in the areas in which they live almost 
all the soil to a depth of many centimeters has passed through the 
alimentary tract of an earthworm at some time.
   
Could the earthworm's activities of loosening, stirring up, and 
aerating the soil to make it more fertile be the result of evolution?  
Could its valuable work come about through mutations or natural 
selection via its struggle for existence (the supposed methods of 
evolution)?  Did the earthworm choose to dig everlastingly, to pass 
countless tons of earth through its body over the centuries to help 
cultivate the soil for plant life?  Or is a better explanation found 
in the proposal that the Creator designed and planned the earthworm in 
the beginning, to be a willing, if humble, servant of the plant world?
