“The Bombardier Beetle
If there is any creature on Earth that could not possibly have evolved, that creature is the bombardier beetle.”
Argument from incredulity? I can NOT believe you’re offering that.
"It needed God to create it with all its systems fully functional.”
Nope. There are other examples of animals that squirt things defensively. Squid, skunk, stinkbugs.
"Evolutionary theory has big problems when attempting to explain the existence and complexity of the bombardier beetle.”
Not really.
“Each stage in the evolution of its special chemicals would have wed to its destruction.”
Okay, so get this, if a mutation is lethal, it doesn’t get passed on to future generations.
If you kill every sharpshooter that misses a target, you end up with sharpshooters that never missed.
"This one-half inch insect mixes chemicals which violently react to produce something similar to an explosion. How could the bombardier beetle have evolved this means of defense without killing itself in the process?”
By tiny increments of improvement.
"This problem has the members of the evolutionary establishment scratching their heads.”
Don’t lie, even for Jesus.
“Evolutionary theory says that you do not evolve something until you know you need it.”
Kinda. I mean, you don’t develop an immunity to an insecticide until the species is exposed to insecticides. Then the survivors will tend to capitalize on immunity.
But that’s not the only reason to evolve, and it’s not a matter of choice.
"In other words a new enzyme or chemical or organ or fin or beak or bone will not evolve until the creature realizes it needs the new improvement.”
No. There’s no ‘realizing’ involved.
Mutations occur, the descendants with that new trait will prosper.
"The bombardier beetle would not have known it needed a mechanism to prevent these chemicals from blowing it up until it mixed the chemicals and blew itself up.”
OR, it developed a much weaker solution as it evolved teh delivery system, then the more effective recipes developed.
"The evolutionists say, "We don't know."”
When’s the last time you asked?
