The Elephant's Trunk - Intelligent Design? (video)
2023-06-04
[John10:10 Project] When I was a young boy growing up in southern California, my folks would often take my sister and me to the San Diego Zoo. The minute we’d walk through the entrance, I’d head directly to the elephant exhibit. Big, slow moving, and always easy to see (they couldn’t hide in their cages like lions or monkeys), elephants fascinated me.

We’d buy bags of peanuts and throw them into the open enclosure. I still remember how they’d carefully pick them up with their trunks—one nut at a time. It was like they had a giant arm and hand, capable of movements that demonstrated remarkable finesse. At the time, I had no idea that, decades later, I’d be producing a film that would showcase the extraordinary abilities of one of the most brilliantly engineered biological mechanisms in the living world.
