It is quite difficult to distinguish a stick grasshopper from the
branches. A mantis is getting ready to prey upon a stick grasshopper.
At the same time, the flawless master of camoflauge, one of the most
fascinating of the Creations of Allah, the gecko is watching them
both by blending itself into the tree.
Although the gecko seemsto catch the mantis easily,there is another
hunter which is not even observed : the chamelon.
The chamelon has a unique pair of legs and feet which enables it to
very move silently. It is almost impossible to see the chamelon
because of its ability to change the color of its skinin accordance
to the environment. The chamelon's eyes can moveindependently
fromeach other in any direction. Thus, they can see their prey which
is notdirectly in their line of sight.
This chamelon also possesses a tongue that it can use as an arrow by
flinging the tongue rapidlyfrom its mouth. The chamelons tongue can
move five times fasterthanthe speed of a jet plane. Via its tongue,
the chamelon hits its prey andthe tongue sticks to itsprey by
forming a powerful vacuum effect.
The thing that accelerates the chamelon tongue is atleast 10 slippery
rings of muscles between the tongue and hyoid bone. Those muscle
rings slip from their normal place and they closely press together
and they push the tongue forward. By means of this mechanism the
tongue pops out with a velocity of 1,5 meters per second. At the time
of the jactus, the hairs of thetongue dissociate from each other and
the tongue reaches to its maximum lenght. During firing; the tongue
stretches up to 6 times from its standby position;and it also
stretches up toone and a half times the body lengthof the cameleon .
After firing the system quickly regroups and reverts backto normal.
It is obvious that the formof these muscle rings cannot be explained
by the theory of evolution in any way. Dr. Brad Harrub,a scientist
who supports Creation, asks those questions which forms great dilemas
to the evolutionists in his article:
1) How come each of the muscle rings evolved in the right position?
2) How has the tongue enlarged to that lenght?
3)How did the acceleratingmuscles emerge?
4) How can the muscle rings coordinate their movements in such a
wayas to allow the tongueto reach its maximum lenght?
5) How did the muscle rings develop the ability of' dissociating from
eachother like the tubes ofa telescope'?
6) How could the chamelon learn and carry out re-collecting all of the
necessary muscular movements after flinging the tongue?
7) If the ability to fire the tongue is a gain as an evolutionary
benefit, why hasn't that benefit yet evolved in other animals, and
why haven't other animalshaven't employed a similar hunting method?
8) How has the chamelon (or its so-called evolutionary
predecessor)survived while all of thosecomplex systems are supposed to
evolve little by little?
Undoubtedly; He is The Almighty Allah, He is the One Who Creates the
chamelon by all its features, and He is Omniscient, Mighty and Exalted
in Power. Allah informs us in a verse fromthe Qur'an Verse thusly:
"And verily in cattle (too) will you find an instructivesign.From
what is within their bodiesbetween excretions and blood, We produce,
for your drink, milk, pure and agreeable to those who drink it."
(Surat an-Nahl, 66)
