Heart Cockle Shells Baffle Evolutionists

Science material prompts people to learn vocabulary, but reading "bivalve mollusk known as Corculum cardissa" is not a romantic description for heart cockle shells. Mollusk is a large grouping that includes clams, oysters, and other things. Bivalve are the mollusks that have a pair of hinged shells.

Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms that live in water and have characteristics of both plants and animals. They are important in water ecosystems because of their oxygen production. Also, they have a unique relationship with heart cockles.

These tiny creatures live inside the shell and do photosynthesis with the sunlight. Heart cockles benefit from what the dinoflagellates give off. This is another example of mutualism (or symbiosis). Except...shells are opaque. There is a special process where a kind of window lets them have the sunlight they need. Darwin's disciples use the scientific principle of Making Things Up™ but cannot adequately explain what is observed. It is reasonable to conclude that the complex details are the work of the Creator.

The scientists discussed the amazing design of the heart cockle, saying, “Many animals convergently evolved photosynthetic symbioses.” This is not an explanation regarding the origin of this amazing mutualistic relationship. Furthermore, appealing to convergent evolution (creatures that have similar structures but are not evolutionarily related) is nothing more than hand-waving.
