The pesky housefly is the most talented aerodynamicist on the planet\u2014superior to any bird, bat, or bee. According to a British scientist, \u201ca housefly can make six turns a second, hover, fly straight up, fly straight down, fly backwards, do somersaults, land on the ceiling, and perform various other show-off maneuvers. And it has a brain smaller than a sesame seed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flies are also loaded with sensors. In addition to their compound eyes, which permit panoramic imagery and are excellent at detecting motion, flies have wind-sensitive hairs and antennae. They also have three light sensors, called ocelli<\/i>, on the tops of their heads, which tell them which way is up. Roughly two-thirds of a fly\u2019s entire nervous system is devoted to processing visual images.<\/p>\n
If God put so much wisdom into ordinary houseflies, imagine what it means to know that we are \u201cfearfully and wonderfully made.\u201d<\/p>\n
