    GOD'S ACCURACY This is really interesting… Enjoy…

    When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities. When GOD doesn't solve our problems, HE has faith in our abilities.

    One may observe God's accuracy in the hatching of eggs… those of the Canary in 14 days; those of the Barnyard Hen in 21 days; Eggs of Ducks and Geese in 28 days; those of the Mallard in 35 days; Eggs of the Parrot and the Ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

    See God's Wisdom in the making of an Elephant… The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body… too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The Horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A Cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.

    How wise the Lord is in all His works of Creation!

    Each Watermelon has an even number of stripes on the Rind. Each Orange has an even number of segments. Each ear of Corn has an even number of rows. Each stalk of Wheat has an even number of grains. Every bunch of Bananas has on its lowest row an even number of Bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

    If you think that is Amazing! There's more…

    The Waves of the Sea roll in on shore Twenty-six to the Minute in all kinds of weather.

    All Grains are found in even numbers on the stalks..

    God has caused the Flowers to Blossom at certain specified times during the day. Linnaeus, the Great Botanist, once said that if he had a Conservatory containing the right kind of Soil, Moisture, and Temperature, he could tell the Time of Day or Night by the Flowers that were Open and those that were Closed.

    The Lives of each of us may be ordered by the Lord in a Beautiful Way for His Glory, if we will only Entrust Him with our Lives. If we try to Regulate our own Lives, we will have only Mess and Failure.

    Only God, who made our Brains and Hearts, can Successfully Guide them to a Profitable End.

    When you carry the Bible, Satan has a Headache; when you Open it, he Collapses.

    When he sees you Reading it, he loses his Strength, and when you Stand on the Word of God, Satan can't Hurt you! And did you also know… that when you are about to Forward this Email to others, the Devil will probably try to Discourage you, but do it anyway.

    Life without God is like an Unsharpened pencil - it has no Point.

    I pray God bless you in ways you never even Dreamed.

    A lot of the "facts" in this e-mail chain letter are simply wrong.

    26 waves per minute as a constant? The person who came up with that has never lived near a coast. That's awfully fast. Moreover, that doesn't take into account the various stages of the tides, wind speed, weather, or anything else.

    The 'divisible by seven' duration of bird's eggs hatching is an example of selective data.

    For instance, the emu's eggs hatch in 42-50 days. The pigeon, 17 days (a prime number). The mallard, 26.5-27 days.

    I'm not going to bother fact-checking the rest of it, since much of it is already disproven.

    You beat me to it.

    -The eggs of the Japanese Quail hatch in 17 days
    -The eggs of the pigeon hatch in 17 days
    -The eggs of the Chukar Partridge hatch in 23-34 days
    -The eggs of the mallard hatch in 26.5-27 days
    -The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days
    -The eggs of the emu hatch in 42-50 days

    Having lived most of my life within walking distance of the ocean (The pacific and now the Gulf of Mexico) the "26 waves per minute" is pure nonsense. And, as Baptist Believer stated above, there are many causes of wave frequency, but the most obvious is wind speed.

    Oh, and elephant's legs bend just like every other quadruped's legs. The elbow bends forward and the wrist bends back.
