That was AMAZING! Only the Hand of God can make an elephant draw a picture, and not only that but the picture was VERY GOOD!

Wow, that blew my socks off! : )

Nehemiah 9:6
You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.
Amen!

p.s of course the elephant was TRAINED! But God had His hand in this, as these animals are still wild to begin with. Still shows the aboslute certainty of GOD!

Asker's Comment:
Amen
Love the verse in Nehemiah.
I just was in awe that this Elephant was able to have the potential to even be trained to paint with such precise strokes.
May we, as sister shirley shared. .. live up to our true potential in Christ as well.

Ty everyone for the great posts.
In Christ

    That looks more like a trained behavior -- not a genuine expression of creativity.

    I've seen the "paintings" that elephants like Annabelle from the Alaska Zoo have made -- left to their own devices, the artwork they make is little more than random brushstrokes.

    I realize you won't consider this for best answer, but it's too funny not to post. This is what my mom emailed me after I sent her that very link (by the way, I don't believe in evolution and neither does my mother -- who actually did go to art school):

    Dear Sock On Arm,

    You are very talented and I knew art school students who could not paint like that! I hope you can get a scholarship, because there are a lot of elephants who want portraits of their children, and you could make a good living.

    Poor elephants, I don't know what they did to train them to paint, but it must have been a hard experience.

    What does this have to do with evolution?
    I've seen dolphins jump through hoops, saw a seal that could play music, and lots of other animals that can do some amazing things.
    I, myself, have owned some pretty talented animals...including rabbit who could do somersaults, a fish called an Oscar who would ring a bell for attention (and food!), several very talented dogs who could do everything from dance to climbing a ladder to slide down a child's slide, and a cat who brings me flowers.
    What you have "proven" here, is something every Christian already knows...
    That Mankind has Dominion over the animal kingdom.

    Good for you!!

    Just watched the video and I do believe that God created all of his animals to have great intelligence. God spoke to them Adam spoke to them they were tame before the fall of man. We can't speak to them ( fall from grace). I'm not so sure this is evolution! I believe this is how they always were and still are...we just can't ask them! That elephant does a better sketch of elephants than I could!
    I also believe we will be able to speak with them again.
    Elephants are apparently one of the most intelligent.

    What really made me wow at this clip was the smootness of the elephants strokes. He may have been trained but this clip shows that elephants do think and remember.

    On a sadder note I look forward to the days when all animals held in captivity will be returned to the state God originally set up for them.

    First off, evolution is a lie. PERIOD. God told us he created us and there is so much evidence of it. WE know what God says is true, we believe it and thats it.
    Things may evolve and change over time, but never into a whole new species.
    If you put a dog in colder climates, over a long time, they will grow more thicker hair to protect them , this is intelligent design by God, always looking out for us all, even His animals.
    Perfect designed.
    But that dog will never turn into another type of animal> ITs still doggie dna.
    Just like if a man wants to be a woman, and he has his genitals cut off . No matter what he does, or what clothes they wear, he still has male dna when tested.

    We are who God created us to be, but not all will live up to their potential. Cant blame God tho, He tries to tell us.
    As far as this elephant goes, this was a really neat video.
    Thanks Sandy for sending it where we all can see.
    There still is no evolution.
    But, this video shows that animals are way smarter than ppl think they are> God created them too, REMEMBER?
    They also have fear and feelings too and needs.
    When an animal kills for food, it isnt becuase they are just mean, its part of the food chain God designed so as to not have any aniamals overpopulated and starving to death.
    The only reason we have starving humans today is because of the greed of others. There is enough food in this world to feed us all, but it manages to only go to a few.
    This is not how God designed it.
    The fact this elephant could be trained, is only poor absolute proof as to the supernatural workings of God that show with God all things are possible.
    To God be the glory in all things.
    Thanks Sister Sandy.

    Wow that got around quick

    Training ?? Somebody train me to paint myself. Not going to happen too fast.
    We adapt to our surroundings and Environment that's obvious.
    Some Animals are quite Intelligent.
    However, They don't have the Knowledge of Good or Evil.
    We may put them down because we perceive they have done evil but, that's just us sometimes judging them by our standards. But, They do feel.
    To them, it's just life to be living and to be happy or please who they consider their family, group, kind, pack or whatever.
