Creationists, what was God thinking when he made the blind mole rat?

I didn't asked the God to get the best answer, but I will guess a part of the answer.

Maybe to let people think about how their life will be without their eyes, or to give persons who as you a chance to ask themselves "How the other creatures have eyes and use it very well? how much science does these eyes need to be exist?"

And if you believe in the big bang... Do you think the creatures will be exist from a bang?! Is that so logical for you?

"if this bang is without very good studies"

Edit:

because this mole doesn't need more than this covered eyes which completely suitable with where it lives and with the amount that it needs of light.

close your eyes in a dark room, then open the light. can't you feel it?

Thats why the mole has it covered.

I don't think I'm the exact audience you intended for your question, but I will take a shot anyway. I am a creationist in the sense that I believe God created everything. I do not require God to have taken exactly X number of days or use only supernatural means to acheive it, however.

I don't see a contradiction between believing in creation and in evolution. God's mechanism (or one of them) for creation could well *be* evolution.

In that case, the answer is that God created the naked mole rat by having it evolve from some other, earlier being. Eventually, if we went back far enough (if only we could, right?) we'd see the original predecessor that He created from nothing. Maybe its just a single-celled organism, maybe something more complex, but there'd be something there that's - shall we say - the first domino being knocked over that eventually triggers the naked mole rat to exist.

And since it still has eyes it doesn't use, I would guess (entirely just a guess) that there's another step of evolution waiting for it where those eyes would stop appearing.

The short version is that I don't see this as a dichotomy. Which is why I'm not sure your question is aimed at me.

it quite is conceivable that at one time the optic nerve and eyes of the mole did function. over the years, the nerve and eye ceased to function by a mutation or a metamorphosis in its genetics etc. i'm not speaking approximately evolution, in basic terms a mutation or exchange such as the exchange that a butterfly or moth is going by. This "evolution" nevertheless is going on contained in an analogous species of animal, not bypass species that's the inspiration of the concept of Evolution. bypass species evolution would not take place immediately and on no account has. evaluate this.. if we decended from apes or ape-like creatures, why is our DNA and genetic closer to pigs than apes? might desire to we've developed from pigs?? There are too many holes contained in the evolution concept that may not "patched".

The plain and simple answer is that some of us don't know why God made these animals. Creation is His prerogative and God has the right to make animals for His own reasons. This is a sincere, not sarcastic, answer. I wish I had a better one for you.

But more importantly, God is infinitely more concerned about our souls--ourselves--than any animal we do or don't understand. I ask you to consider the Words of God in the Bible, where He shows His love for you. Why not read the Gospel of John, for starters?

Christian here-There doesn't always need to be a reason to why God created a certain kind of animal. Maybe just for us to study the animals and enjoy them. I mean what was the point of the dung beetle, flies, antelope, elephants, rats, and etc. I could go on forever. But they are fascinating. We can learn about a small portion of His intelligence by studying His design in these animals. Hope this helped and God bless.

I think god was thinking about the human male genitalia when he made that rat...

(but to answer your question seriously a lot of animals have vestigial bits which are remnants from their forefathers, like a horses chestnut, halfway up it's leg)

Only God knows

And the Blind Cave Fish. I find it far more fascinating.

some are born with eyes that dissolve

Perhaps they serve some other pourpose or they sence something other than what you would think eyes would sence. Science is always figuring out new thing about the biologcal world.
