Just by looking at a few of the details in scorpions you will immediately see that these ani-
mals could not have come into being by chance. For example, sand scorpions have a very
poor sense of sight, but can locate their prey at night with no difficulty. The sand scorpion
has sensitive receptors in its feet that can sense the vibrations made by a butterfly landing
on the sand. Scorpions sometimes transfer their poison, which is powerful enough to kill a
human being, into their enemies by means of javelins in the posterior parts of their bodies.
The carapace that covers their bodies like armor is sufficiently resistant to protect them
even against radiation. The human body can withstand about 600 rads of radiation.
However, scorpions can withstand levels 40,000-150,000 times higher. All these details we-
re also fully present in scorpions living 125 million years ago. Scorpions existing for 125
million years with exactly the same properties clearly prove that evolution never happened.
