Note from Pastor Kevin Lea:  The creation testifies that there is a God.  There is no reasonable explanation for how time and chance (evolution) can explain the miraculous capabilities of these moths.  Other clear examples of irrefutable divine creation are abounding.

(CNN) — Each year, a tiny species in Australia makes a grueling 620-mile (1,000-kilometer) nighttime migration, and it’s pulling off the feat in a way only humans and migratory birds have been known to do, a new study has found.

Bogong moths looking to escape the heat travel in the spring from all over southeastern Australia to cool caves in the Australian Alps, where they huddle in a dormant state. The insects then fly all the way back in the fall to mate and die. Researchers replicated the conditions of this astonishing journey in the lab and discovered a key tool the moths used to find their way: the starry night sky.

“It is an act of true navigation,” said Eric Warrant, head of the Division of Sensory Biology at Lund University in Sweden, and a coauthor of the study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. “They’re able to use the stars as a compass to find a specific geographic direction to navigate, and this is a first for invertebrates…”
