Hummingbirds are some of the neatest little creatures. My MIL has feeders around the back porch and she enjoys watching them very much.

It takes a special blindness to say...”It is all just a big random accident that came from nothing with no point, no planning, no direction, and by complete chance, arbitrary meaninglessness they perform these absolutely incredible flying stunts.”

And no one has said any such thing.

Stop trashing my threads, please.

Nice pics. Hard to get unless they’re used to you being around.

True...I’d invested a fair amount of time to get those back in my bird picture stage.

Must be a pretty good camera as that seems a good shutter speed.

Would you mind if I use your quote in reference not only to hummingbirds, but to *everything*? It’s very well said.

Not sure where these remarks were going, but I am not trashing your thread. On the contrary, I was tacitly agreeing with the poster who said, "God" and "trashing" the blind unbeliever who could read such material and claim there is no God. My apologies if the post was too cryptic.

Absolutely not. Of course it is no accident. It is the work of the God of Israel.
