Job 39:1 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?
2 Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
they leave and do not return.
5 “Who let the wild donkey go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland as its home,
the salt flats as its habitat.
7 It laughs at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.
8 It ranges the hills for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox consent to serve you?
Will it stay by your manger at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.
16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
she laughs at horse and rider.
19 “Do you give the horse its strength
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,
striking terror with its proud snorting?
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,
and charges into the fray.
22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
and spread its wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
a rocky crag is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;
its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”
I feel like I just took a nature walk. Can you see that Ostrich running with the guy on his back???? I think Ostriches might have originally been designed to carry riders.... but donkeys and horses are better at it. All this talk about random.... and molecular..... come on.... watch a horse showing off his beautiful muscle structure and say random..... Look at the donkey.... there are still wild donkeys in the US..... one look and you know there's nothing random about them. What is random about a flock of birds migrating..... every year.... to the same spot....

I know a man who hates horses. That's right.... he hates horses like some people hate mice. He says when he was growing up "those wild horses would trample our crops and run off our other livestock". Wow.... I never considered that.... right? Horses could be a nuisance???
There is a town out here in Arizona.... where the donkeys run wild. More than one miner used donkeys to carry their load.... and quite a few of those prospectors lost their donkeys..... they don't run with the wild horses.... they are a herd all their own.
Oh.... and look at the size of the oxen compared to man. Why on earth would something that big and seemingly bad answer to a scrawny stupid human?
Why does the ant work so hard? How does a bee keep track of which flower he has already visited? Why don't humans just get smart and believe?
God knows.... He created the concept.... and He allows stupid humans not to believe in Him.
Humans are so stupid..... they don't even realize how special they are as a species to God..... when Jesus came to walk on earth.... Jesus came as a human.

This is from Bible.org.
God names various creatures, small and large, and describes His control over and care of each of them: mountain goats (39:1-4), the wild donkey (39:5-8), the wild ox (39:9-12), the ostrich (39:13-18), the horse (39:19-25), the hawk (39:26-30), behemoth (40: 15-24) and leviathan (41:1-34). All these receive their strength, power, abilities and skills from God. Even the stupidity of the ostrich is not without God’s plan and purpose, “for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense” (39:17). God seems to be telling Job, “I have created all these creatures; can you do such things? I exercise authority and control over all these things; can you do so on any of the smallest of these things? How can you comprehend My ways with man, when you cannot comprehend and control the things I have made? Who are you to ask an account of My actions?”
In Sunday school I learned that humans are more valuable to God than these beautiful animals. God knew what they would need to survive in their environment..... and then added a touch of awesome power and beauty. I know a man who hates horses. That's right.... he hates horses like some people hate mice. He says when he was growing up "those wild horses would trample our crops and run off our other livestock". Wow.... I never considered that.... right? Horses could be a nuisance???
