As it says in the article “The freaky findings, reported today in the journal Mycologia, increases the number of aglow mushroom species from 64 to 71, shedding light on the evolution of luminescence in nature.” Hmmmm --”... shedding light on the evolution of luminescence in nature.” Guess which world view glasses the writer of this article had on? Right! The ‘old earth evolutionary’ glasses.
Now, why would mushrooms just happen to accidentally develop luminescence. Doesn’t this seem like a design thing and not just a chance accident that happened 71 or so times?
To read the article written with evolutionary world view glasses, HERE’S THE LINK
And, by way of rebuttal, two of several articles, written by a Ph.D., tells about mushrooms in general. Indeed, these 2 articles probably will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about mushrooms and unless you are really ‘into’ the study of mushrooms, you will probably not read them in their entirety. But, that is OK. You just need to know that they are ‘out there’.
As my father used to say, “If you know where to find the information you need in a hurry, you don’t have to remember everything...” Good advice.
Anyway, these 2 rebuttal articles do not directly address this luminescence feature in mushrooms but do discuss problems with the evolutionary world view aspect of the article. And that, to me, is more important than the fact that there are mushrooms that amazingly glow in the dark.
So to read (or scan) the 2 articles from the Creationist perspective, HERE’S ONE LINK and HERE’S THE OTHER LINK.
