Living Light: The Mechanisms and Diversity of Bioluminescence - Apologetics Press

The website above is from an article that describes bioluminescence. Simply put there are animals, fungi, and sea life that can produce its own light. Amazing pictures can be viewed as well. You are also encouraged to read the entire article.

This is just one scientific proof of complex design that demands a designer. The God of Heaven, the God of the Bible is that designer. He created these creatures and plant life that have the ability to produce their own light.

The article also reveals that over 76% of sea life has the ability to glow through a chemical process that combines phosphorus proteins luciferin and luciferase.

What an awesome God!

Animals can use this ability for different reasons. Including defending themselves and attracting food. There is diversity in this phenomenon. Different types of luciferin produce different color light.

The next time you see the pictures or a firefly, think about God, the Creator of all things. He is truly an awe-inspiring God. He loves us all so much and He created all things for us to enjoy and magnify His Holy Name.

Genesis 1:20-21 Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens." 21 God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
