It is
hard not to mock the idea of evolution as a solid science when one considers
even the simple things of nature.
Consider
the ho-hum, work-a-day world of the common honeybee.
Bees
build a complicated nest city with 10,000 cells for honey and 12,000 cells for
larvae. One special holy-of-holy cell is home to the large queen bee. One tiny
bee is in charge of air conditioning.
If the
temperature gets to the point where the wax may melt and the honey lost, the
alarm will be sounded and swarms of bees will be organized inside the hive.
With feet
"glued" down, a squadron posted at the entrance will fan in cooler
outside air by wing power. The result is a ventilation system that makes the
electric fan seem commonplace.
To gather
the ingredients which will eventually become honey, the not-so-simple bee will
drone as far as 20 miles from its hive.
If one
happens upon a rich section of flowers, it somehow directs other worker bees to
the site.
There is
no God involved here? Yeah, right!
