Crocodiles are typically described as ‘primitive’ and ‘living fossils’ because they are basically the same as creatures found as fossils claimed to be many millions of years old.

However, researchers have now discovered that crocs have advanced technology in their scaly skin. They have sensors that are very responsive to touch, cold and warm temperatures, and pH variations. They are “remarkable multi-sensorial micro-organs with no equivalent in the described sensory systems of other vertebrate lineages.”

Just like all other organisms, crocs clearly have the hallmarks of divine design. Recent creation, as the Bible says, makes much more sense of such design than millions-of-years beliefs.
