Lobster Concrete - Does the Lobster Prove Evolution or Reveal the Engineering Wonders of Creation?


I was going to ignore this video because it glorified the Theory of Evolution, but the producers inadvertently supported Creation. The lowly lobster, called the cockroach of the sea, has a shell design so perfect that modern engineers are copying it when pouring concrete.

The Pantheon in Rome, 113 AD, is a famous concrete building, still standing after so many centuries, famous for a roof design that made it lighter.
 Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.[3]
"The stresses in the dome were found to be substantially reduced by the use of successively less dense aggregate stones, such as small pots or pieces of pumice, in higher layers of the dome. Mark and Hutchison estimated that, if normal weight concrete had been used throughout, the stresses in the arch would have been some 80% greater."

 

So many structures in Nature are perfect for that particular creature, it also seems to be design rather than chance. Everyone calm down. I am using irony - "seems to be design". 

In fact, Animal Planet had a feature on sharks where the narrator intoned, "Suddenly a perfectly designed killing machine appeared in the oceans - the shark." The "suddenly" and "perfectly designed" give place to Creation, not Evolution. I have long thought that creatures appeared by God's will and may disappear the same way.
