A Pelican?? No! An Assassin!

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth!

Hi ,

Let's return to the bizarre world of spiders again. (Why do I do this? It's not like I actually like spiders! I guess I'm just fascinated at the creativity behind them!).

The one I want to show you today is called a pelican spider, because that's actually what they look like! The one below is drawn without the legs, so you can see the shape of its body, which is quite different from other spiders! The two main parts of a spider are the cephalothorax (a combination of the head and thorax) and the abdomen. A normal spider appears in the lower left. However, in the pelican spider, the top of the cephalothorax (called the carapace) is extended much higher, like a long neck, and the fangs are much longer. This gives this spider a unique advantage! It can grab its prey and hold it far away from its own body until it dies. In this way, it avoids any bite its prey might give it! BUT. what is this spider's prey?!

The pelican spider is also known as the assassin spider. That's because it sneaks up on its prey and waits for the opportune time to strike! And, what is its prey? Exclusively, other spiders! Here's what it does...

As any spider walks, it lays a dragline. This dragline can be used to escape if the spider suddenly needs to get away. The assassin spider will stalk through the leaves, and find the dragline of a spider. It will then follow that dragline carefully until it comes across the web the other spider built. The assassin will use its back six legs to move, while it gently uses the front two to feel the area, so it can get a good idea what's there. Once it locates prey, it can wait patiently. Once it pounces, though, there's no way out for the victim. The pelican spider can hold it away from its own body, so it can't be part of a counter-attack. The pelican spider will pull one fang out, and let the victim hanging by the other until it dies! A pretty picture, huh?

More strange than the spider itself is the "history" that has been assigned to it. Evolutionists claim that these spiders existed 165 million years ago. How do they "know" that? Because specimens, appearing exactly the same as they do today, are found in amber that they claim is 50 million years old. (That makes sense, right? 50 million = 165 million?) How do they "know" that the amber is that old? They DON'T! It's pure guesswork. Amber is simply hardened sap, and it can harden in MUCH less time than that!

So, forget the false story the evolutionists tell, and watch an animation of the true story of how the spiders function...

Watch the Animation!

In Christ,

PS - Many of you have asked me about the situation with my back. To be brief, it has gotten worse, and nothing has helped. Two spinal epidurals, another one directly into the sacroiliac joint, and an ablation attempt have produced no results. Medicines, aqua therapy, variuos belts, etc. have yielded nothing. I cannot walk very far, nor stand very long. So, two days from now, I will be going back to the Hershey Medical Center for yet another epidural. This one will be a 4-injection series into the facet joint. We’ll see what that does! Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers!!

For Christ's glory,
