Random Thoughts #615

Another recent event worth mentioning is the so-called "octopus girl" from India, pictured below. Named Lakshmi Tatma, this little girl was born joined to a parasitic twin. The joining left her with eight limbs (four functional ones) and two sets of several organs including kidneys, spines, stomachs, and hips. Surprisingly she was born healthy it seems and has since undergone a 40 hour surgery to remove the dead weight of her dead twin.


While I'm pleased that she has survived both her unusual birth and rare surgery, this is further evidence that God's word is true and that the ever touted evolution is a hollow claim. While many misinformed will claim that being born with oddities proves a mechanism for evolution the following remains painfully clear.

-These limbs and extras were not from changes in her genetic code, but from the merging of two whole human fetuses.

-No functionality was found in the "spare" limbs that would make this a benefit to her, in fact their existence prohibited her from even walking.

-These oddities, while unusual, proved no natural mechanism for producing new genetic information. These are pre-existing genes that were used.

And lastly, this case once again proves that the Curse recorded in Genesis, our fall from Eden, is still in effect today; snowballing as it goes. I only put this event in context to evolution as many people in the coming months will take it to be more than it really is. It's an example of just what a sad state the world is in and also a victory for modern medicine in that cleaning up the mess was no small feet, excuse the pun.
