Ribbon worm

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth!

Hi ,

You've probably never heard of a ribbon worm?.... No, I didn't think so. And, I'm about to show you something that you probably don't want to see! I know - I've often had gross things on these e-mails, but they're still all fantastic and part of the world God created!

Ribbon worms are normally found in the ocean, and some can get quite large - up to 100 feet! Even so, they're less than an inch wide. Some species live in fresh water or even on land. Often, they are quite striking with beautiful colors or stripes, and resemble flat noodles. They move mainly through the use of tiny hairs called cilia.

They're not like earthworms, though. These guys are hunters of other creatures found in their environment, like fish, crabs, and other worms. They have a unique way of catching prey. There is an organ called a proboscis that is kept inside their bodies. When prey is encountered, this proboscis is ejected and stabs the animal with barbs. Venoms are then injected into the victim. In these cases, the prey is swallowed whole and can sometimes be as large as the worm itself. In other species, the proboscis looks more like spaghetti with branches. This proboscis puts the toxin directly onto the victim, and is digested outside the worm! The proboscis then slurps up the soft portions of the victim.

OK, are you grossed out yet? No? Well, you might be now if you click on the button! This short video shows some ribbon worms out on land (actually, it might even be one worm that's coming apart now that it's out of water!). Anyway, about half-way through the video, watch as the proboscis is ejected!

All I can say is --- weird! God surely has a creative mind to come up with this!

Go ahead! Look! It's gross!

PS - An update from last week: Someone asked about the Ica Stone images from last week that showed heart and brain surgeries. The person wanted to know how we know that the stones indicated surgery, and not merely organs being removed for sacrificial purposes. It's a good question since there were many such sacrifices that did indeed occur. However, there are literally thousands of images like this showing various stages of actual surgery. Furthermore, many skulls have been found with a high degree of healing that had taken place around very precisely-cut holes in skulls. This indicates that the patient survived for a number of years after the procedure. Also, the Spanish conquistadores wrote about how astonished they were to discover astounding medical knowledge and practice among the early Peruvians, so much so that some of the doctors were even tortured in an attempt to get them to reveal the "secrets" behind their incredible knowledge.
