As you know, I keep a few bees. I try not to write too much about them because I know you would get
bored of me going on and about them. But I was reading an article on honeybees the other day and for
some reason the author decided to jump into the “evolution” of bees. She was speaking about the
effects on the planet if there were no bees. Bees pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed
90% of the world. If bees were to die off, it would be disastrous for the planet. She then made this
statement: “Many have coevolved with flowers.”
You see, I’ve always pointed to bees as proof that things can’t evolve; they either work perfectly or they
don’t work. So, in that line of thinking, I wondered how flowers would grow and prosper if there was a
time when bees didn’t do what they do. So this person’s logic is that at some point (millions or billions
of years ago) an almost bee-like insect of sorts, kind of almost pollinated flowers but that was ok
because flowers hadn’t evolved to the point of needing pollination. That is a convoluted stretch of the
imagination. But…it is what must have happened (with no proof whatsoever) if people want to believe in
evolution.
It takes a lot of faith to believe that improbable scenario. I believe the simplest, and most rational,
answer is that God created bees and flowers to perfectly complement and sustain each other. One
wouldn’t survive without the other and their presence and purpose in the ecosystem sustains other life.
It is an amazing world of nature that God created to perfectly work together to sustain life. If we evolved
we evolved into perfection then evolution has done its thing and we are perfect…we will not evolve into
anything else that works or functions better.
However, a study from England claims that we are still evolving. Why do they believe that? Because
every generation is getting, as a group, taller. We are smarter and we are physically stronger. That isn’t
evolution, that is adaptation. We understand nutrition and so we eat better. We understand how the
body works so we have better medicines and vitamins, etc. but…understand this…we were humans
when we were created and if mankind survives another billion years, we will be humans when we die.
