Throughout Scripture we read that animals praise God. I don't know exactly how animals praise God, but our inability to understand it shouldn't keep us from believing it. [...]

So, if animals praise your god it puts them on the same plane as humans. So, in effect, they are equal to humans and have the same rights from god that humans do.
I wonder if a cow prays as it heads to the slaughter house. Or if a baby deer prays as it becomes dinner for a hungry wolf. Or, if the wolf prayed for that baby deer in the first place, and is now thanking god for answered prayers.
Mortals fancy that gods are born, and wear clothes, and have voice and form like themselves. Yet if oxen and lions had hands, and could paint and fashion images as men do, they would make the pictures and images of their gods in their own likenesses; horses would make them like horses, oxen like oxen. Ethiopians make their gods black and snub-nosed; Thracians give theirs blue eyes and red hair.

So you're ready to believe in the Theory of Evolution?
They're just called Praying Mantis, dude. Even if they did pray to some god, why would it be Jehova.
Maybe it's the Mantis god...
"...our inability to understand it shouldn't keep us from believing it."
It's like they want me to scream at the thought of giving people any excuse to be complete morons. In an age where information is freely available, there is no reason for stupid to exist.
Osiris, Randy Alcorn is actually a fairly popular Christian author. Many RRers, for example, rave about his books.
How do you know that the animals are praising God? How do you know that they are not, in fact, giving their praise to the true gods, a pantheon of seven sentient symbols that reside at the outskirts of the universe, and silently call upon our planet to commit suicide in order to rejoin with them before our destined life-termination comes about and it is too late? Poor ignorant mortals...to faithless to kill themselves and meet their loving designing designs...

Apply that logic to evolution.
To be fair, I don't know if this guy denies evolution, but if he's on this site from "Eternal Perspective Ministries", I think it's a safe guess.
EDIT: Checked the source. Creationist who calls AiG a "great site." Booyah.
Well, if the animals are doing it, then by argument from nature and a wholly unfounded, really impossible conclusion, we must conclude that God exists.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
