Evolutionists say all life, as we know it today, just "evolved" from nothing in the distant dismal past over millions and millions if not billions of years. One day, the story goes, a spark of life was struck in a primordial chemical soup and from this humble beginning so they say, came all the myriad, complex, interdependent, amazing life forms we have today. This includes man who is made up of 63 per cent hydrogen, 25 per cent oxygen, 9.5 per cent carbon, 1.3 nitrogen and 0.6 other elements including calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphor, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, chloride and others. Physicist theorise that the universe began with a gigantic explosion from the state of nothingness, a dot, zero, about 16.5 billion years ago. How to arrive at such distant past is beyond imagination and mind-boggling. If the big bang produced hydrogen and some helium, how did the other 105 elements evolve? From where and how these elements and others were concentrated in a tiny dot as small as the period on this page defies every imagination. The big bang theory does not explain how the universe began. The theory only explains how the existing universe could have developed.

Much more complicated than man is the tiny honeybee. Without bees agriculture could not exist, and without crops humans would not exist. Bees handle 80 per cent of all pollination done by insects. Without plants and flowers, bees could not exist, and without bees plants and flowers could not exist either. There are some plants which can be pollinated by either the winds or other insects, but the broad majority are pollinated by bees. Without the plant kingdom, there would be no oxygen, and the earth would not be inhabited. Which came first, the plant needing to be pollinated by bees? Or the bees, needing to manufacture their life source, honey, from the pollen of the plant? If the plants came first, then they had to be the type of plants which do not require pollination from the bees. If they did not require bees, then there was no motivation for the bees evolving, since the requirement did not exist. If plants were "surviving" without bees, as some still are, then there was never a need for any type of plants to develop certain colouration and smells to attract bees, since there were no bees to attract. Without immediate pollination in the first blooming, the plant would die, and cease to exist. If some plants still survive without being pollinated as they were from the beginning then where was the motivation for evolution. If there was no need to change, why change. Bees would not have developed if there were no scented, beautiful flowers to stimulate their behaviour.

Bees exist in a completely cooperative community, one organism. A honeybee cannot exist alone. A strong colony will have many thousands of bees. It must be a member of thousands of workers, a number of drones and ONE queen. There are three types of bees, the queen, the drones and the workers. Each colony has one queen. In a lifetime a queen may lay one million eggs. She is the only developed female in the colony, an egg-laying machine. Without her the colony would perish. Also, present by the hundreds are the drones - the male bees. The drones have only one purpose - to fertilize the queen. Of the hundreds of drones in a hive only one or a few will ever mate with the queen. Immediately after the queen is fertilized, the drones are driven from the hive to perish. It is the food supply that determines when the drones are driven out.

Then there are the worker bees. The workers are females unable to lay eggs. These bees care for the progeny by feeding and nursing the young. Worker bees keep the hive clean, the temperature constant, remove waste matter, construct and maintain the cells, defend the hive, provide and distribute the food. There is no leader or a manager in the hive. The queen just lays the eggs. Each bee knows what the needs of the hive are. It is a marvel of organisation. In that tiny head the bee has a brain that has been programmed by instinct, implanted by a designer, to construct mathematically engineered perfect cells. Evolutionists claim that "a simple explanation cannot be found for the honeybees" adept architecture - the cells of a hive are miracles of craftsmanship. Each worker bee is in effect a portable wax-producing machine. This tiny creature has glands to produce wax. Bees exude wax from the underside of their abdomen. As the wax is exuded, the bee will remove the wax with its feet and knead it into small lump.

This wax is then used to build or repair the cells. The walls of the cells are only two thousandths of an inch thick. Yet one pound of comb will support 25 pounds of honey. Each cell has a slight downward tilt towards the central retaining wall to prevent the viscous honey from trickling out. Each side of the walls combine to form a regular hexagon. The hexagon has the smallest circumference requiring less building material. Bees need two types of food. Protein for bodybuilding comes from pollen and nectar rich in sugar for energy. Both are found in flowers. As bees visit flowers, they suck up droplets of nectar, carrying them in a sack, and deposit the nectar in the cells and transform it into honey.

Scientists tell us that this happened haphazardly by evolutionary process over millions of years ago. But is that what really happened? How did all this begin? Did one original bee evolve all by himself, or as evolutionists say perhaps millions of pre-bees were going through various mutations over trillions of intermediate stages and gradual changes which finally all arrived at once as a full-fledged colony of bees, with workers, drones and one queen. How did the first pre-bee become a bee? Let us go back, way back to an imaginary time when a little insect of some sort was just about to begin some of the functions of the bee. What sex was he, or maybe it was a she or an it? Was the little insect a drone? Hardly, since drones cannot reproduce themselves without a queen. Could it have been the queen bee? No, because without a colony to feed and keep her alive, and drones with whom to mate, the queen would not survive. It could not be a worker bee either, since worker bees are sterile females.

Let us for a moment skip these insurmountable impossibilities. So here we have a pre-bee sitting on a flowerless tree. He is alone in the world. In the summer breezes, he smells a strange new savoury odour. The smell of a flower, but flowers could not have existed yet since there were no bees to pollinate them. But assuming there was a flower, he flies towards it, and lands on a petal. He samples a bite of sepal. The taste is nasty and spits the bite out again. Then he flies back to the tree and slowly starves to death. He did not have what it takes, the abilities from the very beginning to form a colony, build a hive, manufacture wax, cooling system and heating the hive, engineering perfect storage cells. This is one of the numerous manifestations of God's grand design - the honeybee, where order, harmony, beauty, interdependency and law-abiding things exist.
