Evolution could Not do This!

     It was not until the 13^th century that navigators began using compasses (made of needles on oil). But bacteria, animals, and birds have tiny bits of magnetite, a natural magnetic stone, in their brains to help guide them on their travels. How can this possibly be? Where did the stones come from? How do they use them to orientate and guide them?

 

     The leaf-binding ant builds nests out of leaves sewn together. It picks up one of it’s larva children, carefully holding it in its jaws, presses liquid from the baby – as a glue gun to spot weld the leaves together.

 

     Try as they might, scientists cannot figure out how to make light without 94.5% of the energy being used as heat. But the firefly , Photinus, makes light with 90% of the energy for that purpose. The glow of a firefly contains only 1/80,000 of the heat that would be produced by a candle flame of equal size. One scientist spent his lifetime the luciferin in fireflies, without success. Many other researchers have tackled the problem, and have also failed.

 

     The diving spider is a regular spider which breathes air but spends most of its time under water. Diving under water with a bubble, and fasting it to vegetation, the spider uses it for air and a nest. The living and nesting habits of this spider are complex and amazing. As soon as the babies are born, they do their part in diving and helping the family. My questions is, 

how did the first diving spider swim into the water without drowning?

 

      Swiftlets are small birds that live in southeastern Asia and Australia. They make nests far back in dark caves. These birds have small eyes and the caves are pitch black. With fast wings, such as swallows have, the swiftlet flies at high speed into its cave. Rapidly it flies directly to one tiny nest among hundreds. As soon as the bird enters the cave, it begins making a series of high-pitched clicks. The little bird has the ability to vary the frequency of the sounds and, as it approaches the wall, it increases the number of clicks per second until they are emitted at about 20 per second. The time required for the click to bounce off the wall and return reveals the distance of the wall. Scientists have tried to figure out why the clicks very in frequency as the bird gets closer to the wall. They eventually discovered that the tiny bird – with a brain an eighth as large as your little finger – does this in order to hear the return echo! The problem is that the click must be so short and so exactly spaced apart, that its echo is heard by the ear of the bird – before the next click is made. Otherwise the next click will drown the sound of the returning echo. By the way, how did the swiftlet identify its own nest by those clicks? There are hundreds of nests in the cave. Scientists try to solve such problems, but they unable to do so. Somehow, evolutionary theory does not seem to be of any help.
