About this episode

The episode discusses how the scarlet gilia plant changes its flower color to attract different pollinators, reflecting the wisdom of a Creator.

The scarlet gilia plant changes its flower color from red to pink and then white to attract different pollinators, shifting from hummingbirds to hawkmoths as the season progresses. Scientists find the precise timing of this change remarkable. It reflects the wisdom of a Creator rather than passive evolution.
