Creation Moment 2/10/2016 - 4 Lessons of Camouflage Science

"In recent years there has been a surge of interest in invisibility cloaks, made from light-bending structures known as metamaterials. Since invisibility cloaks are currently limited to microwaves, the next best option could be a form of adaptive camouflage based on a reflective display, like the sort used in e-book readers. Some of these displays can generate a variety of colors, but to do so they currently need heavily layered structures, which reduce overall reflectivity and give a dull appearance.
Plasmonic metal nanostructures could be the answer. If light falling on these materials has the right wavelength – that is, the right color – it meets a collective oscillation of charge known as a plasmon that forces it to reflect. Tuning the size and composition of the nanostructures controls the color of light that is reflected, but normal methods of fabrication leave the structures fixed.
.....have developed a way to produce colour-tuneable plasmonic metal nanostructures. They consist of a layer of nano-sized gold domes coated with a gel containing silver ions, all of which are sandwiched between two electrodes. Applying a positive voltage between the electrodes binds the silver ions to the gold domes, changing the characteristic plasmon reflectivity from red to green and finally blue; reversing the voltage takes the reflectivity back to the red end of the spectrum."

4 Lessons:
I. Look at how far we've come in "knowledge" since just the late 1800's and the invention of the light bulb....  and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:4
II. Think about the true power of this all powerful GOD....if we can play with, and manipulate light like this, think what He can do with arranging things at the quantum level....For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. Psalm 33:9
III. Now imagine how powerful Lucifer is too, (compared to us) who stood before the throne of God, and knows a lot about these "secrets" or mysteries of science and how also to manipulate them, as when he turned the Egyptian magicians rods into looking like living snakes.....For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
IV. That's just one of several reasons why God is serious about flirting with crossing the veil between the seen & the unseen (what we would call dabbling in the occult) because of his powers of manipulating matter....There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire [an ancient occult practice], or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination [detestable] to the LORD. Deuteronomy 18:10-12
