Ships of the Desert - Keith W Stump - August 1982

Keith W Stump

The camel is a desert miracle! Thriving in its harsh environment, the desert cargo carrier poses problems for evolution. Few animals are as strange and as remarkable as the camel. Many of you have probably seen this great humped beast at a zoo. What a mangy, unusual-looking creature. That ungainly walk, that funny hump, that foul breath and those weird whines and groans it makes! But to the Bedouin Arabs of the Middle East deserts, the camel is much more than an oddity. The very existence of human life in the desert has long depended on the camel. Without him there would be no Bedouin! The Arabs rightly call the camel Ala Allah. "God's gift." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
