Wisdom from the Tiny Ant?
Scientists recently uncovered a remarkable strategy hidden in the tiny world of ants. After gathering seeds and grains for food, ants carry them underground and deliberately split them in two.
Why? Because a seed cut in half cannot sprout, even under perfect growing conditions. The ants are preventing their food supply from turning into plants.
But the real shock came with coriander seeds. Researchers watched ants break them, not into two pieces, but into four. Further testing revealed why.
Coriander can still germinate if divided in half, but it cannot sprout once split into four parts. The ants somehow “knew” exactly what was required for that specific seed.
No trial and error. No evolutionary guesswork. No blind chance. This is precise, purposeful behavior built into these creatures from the beginning.
As Proverbs 6:6 declares, “Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.” Even the smallest creatures testify of their Creator’s wisdom.
