The Moro Reflex
As a few of you might recall, my wife and I gained a new granddaughter in November and a new grandson in December! We just returned from spending a wonderful week with our new grandson, a special week filled with changing him, feeding him, holding him, and enjoying him.
More than once we saw him, when startled, display the typical Moro reflex, with his arms and legs outstretched and his hands grasping. It's an odd response, and one that makes no sense unless one pictures the small, startled ape clinging ventro-ventral to his mother as she moves through the trees. Let others appeal to miracles. I find it wondrous to hold my grandson and recognize him as a unique and remarkable product of an explicably and remarkable process. And I find it somehow sad to know that the Creationist must remain blind to all of this. |
