Evolutionary Accident or Everlasting Architect?

The Bombardier Beetle:

When ever threatened the bombardier beetle shoots out a noxious gas

which are at 212 degrees F, out from two tail pipes right into the face of

the would be aggressor.

Dr. Hermann Schildknecht, a German chemist, studied the bombardier beetle and

learned the beetle makes his explosives by mixing two very dangerous

chemicals (hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide).

This clever little beetle

also adds another type of chemical known as an inhibitor. The inhibitor

prevents the chemicals from blowing up and enables the beetle to store them

indefinitely.

Whenever our little beetle friend is attacked (e.g. by a frog) he squirts the

stored chemicals into the two combustion tubes, and at precisely the right

moment he adds another chemical (an anti-inhibitor). This knocks out the

inhibitor, and a small but violent explosion occurs right in the face of the

poor attacker.

Now could this marvelous and complex mechanism have evolved piecmeal over

millions of years? The evolutionist sheepishly responds "yes."

According to evolutionary "thinking" there must have been thousands of

generations of beetles improperly mixing these hazardous chemicals in fatal

evolutionary experiments, blowing themselves to pieces!!!!

Eventualy we are

assured, they arrived at the magic formula, but what about the developement

of the inhibitor??

There is no need to involve the inhibitor unless yo

already have the two chemicals you are trying to inhibit. On the other hand,

if you have the two chemicals, without the inhibitor, it is already too late,

for you have just blown yourself up!!!

Obviously, such an arrangement would

never arise apart from intelligent forsight and planning. Nevertheless, let's

sassume that our little beetle friend somehow managed to simultaneously

develop the two chemicals along with the all important inhibitor. This

solution would be no benefit at all, for it would just sit there as a

harmless concoction.

To be of any value to the beetle, the anti-inhibitor

must be added to the solution. So, once again, for thousands of generations

we are supposed to believe that these poor beetles mixed and stored these

chmicals for no particular reason or advantage; until finally, the

anti-inhibitor was perfected.

Now he is really getting somewhere!! With the

anti-inhibitor developed he can now blow himself to pieces, frustrating the

efforts of the hungry predator!!

Ah yes, he still needs to evolve the two

combustion tubes, and a precision communications and timing network to

control and adjust the critical direction and timing of the explosive.

So,

here we go again; for thousands of generations these carefree little beetles

went around celebrating the 4th of July by blowing themselves to pieces until

finally the mastered their new found powers.

But what would be the motivation for such disatrous, trail and error,

piecemeal evolution? Everything in evolution is supposed to make perfect

sense and have a logical purpose, or else it would never develop. But such a

process does not make any sense at all, and to proppose that the entire

system evolved all at once is astronomically improbable, if not impossible.

Yet, nature abounds with countless such examples of perfect cooridnation.

We can only conclude that the surprising little bombardier beetle is a strong

witness for special creation, for there is no other rational explanation for

such a wonder.
