GROWTH STAGES OF A HONEY BEE
2. Worker feeds hatched larva
3. Larva reaches full growth
4. Worker caps cell
5. Larva spins cocoon & becomes pupa
6. Adult bee leaves cell
1. Queen lays egg in brood cell

A HONEYBEE’S BRAIN COMPARED TO A SUPER COMPUTER
BEE COMPUTERSize Tiny Large
Speed 1 Trillion/Sec 6 Billion/Sec (NASA Cray Y-MP)
Energy Consumption 10 Microwatts Many Kilowatts (107 or more)
Cost Cheap Lots - $48 millionMaintenance Personnel None - Self Healing Many
Weight Not Much 2,300 lbs w/ cooling systemConclusions Evolved? Designed
The human brain is millions of times more complex than a honeybee’s!
Super Computer is huge, slow, inefficient, costs lots of money, must be maintained. It had to be designed.
THE DANCING BEE
THE ROUND DANCE THE WAGGING DANCE
If food is nearby, the worker does a whirling dance in one direction, then another (left). If food is distant, she makes a double circle pattern, wagging on the straight run (right).
The bee runs up on the vertical comb on the wagging part of the dance to tell other workers to fly toward the sun.
She runs down to tell them to fly away from the sun. The number of runs in a given time indicates the distance.
The angle at which she runs on the wagging part of the dance gives the angle of the food source relative to the hive and the sun.
The drawings do not show that the scout is surrounded by workers who follow her movements with their antennae.
WHO TAUGHT THE BEES?
QUEEN? DRONE? WORKER?
Blind, random, destructive mutations?An All Wise Creator?
A molecular biologist working on identifying genetic controls for diseases was interviewed by George Caylor of The Ledger, Lynchburg, Virginia. His article entitled, “The Biologist,” appeared on February 17, 2000.

THE NATURAL SELECTION DECEPTION
Natural selection has no power to create new and better biological
information. Rather, it is wholly at the mercy of random, destructive
mutations to provide the necessary new information. Since random
mutations cannot produce the needed results, natural selection is left helpless with nothing to select.
THE FEATHER THAT BROKE THE THEORY’S
BACK
shaft
barb
hooks
barbules
“It is not easy to see how an impervious reptile scale could be converted
gradually into an impervious feather without passing through a frayed scale
intermediate which would be weak, easily deformed and still quite permeable
to air. It is true that basically a feather is....a mass of keratin filaments - but the
filaments are not a random tangle but are ordered in an amazingly complex way to achieve the tightly intertwined structure of the feather. Take away the exquisite
coadaptation of the components,
take away the coarrangement of the barbs on the shaft and all that is left is a soft
pliable structure utterly unsuitable to form the basis of a stiff impervious aerofoil. The
stiff impervious property of the feather which makes it so beautiful an adaptation
for flight, depends basically on such a highly involved and unique system of coadapted components that it seems
impossible that any transitional feather-like structure could possess even to a slight
degree the crucial properties.” Dr. Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, p. 209
“I remember well the time when the thought of the eye made me cold all over, but I have got over this stage of the complaint, and now
small trifling particulars of structure often make me very uncomfortable. The sight of a
feather in a peacock’s tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me
sick.”The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin 296 (F. Darwin ed. 1887)

One prominent evolutionist on the editorial staff of a prestigious
scientific magazine confided to the author after examining the
[woodpecker’s] skull, “There are certain anatomical features which just
cannot be explained by gradual mutations over millions of years. Just
between you and me, I have to get God into the act too sometimes.”

DARWIN’S CONFESSION
“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which
could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely breakdown!”
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
DARWIN’S CONFESSION CONCERNING INSTINCTSMany instincts are so wonderful
that their development will probably appear to the reader a difficulty sufficient to overthrow
my whole theory.

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and
attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity have been made
intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made – His handiworks. So
[men] are without excuse – altogether without any defense or
justification. Romans 1:20 Amplified
