A 320-million-year- old cock-
roach fossil is sufficient to show that im-
aginary accounts of insect evolution are
nonsense.

However, the evidence of creation makes a Creator inevitable.
The creation of insects equipped their perfect mechanisms points to
a Creator with infinite knowledge and intellect.
The same creation applies to the first known insect, Rhyniella

praecursor. This fossil, belonging to the springtail class, is around
396 million years old. 122 However, these insects—of which more
than 3,500 species are alive today—are by no means simple, as ev-
olutionists fondly suppose. On the contrary, this insect's advanced
structure enables it to live everywhere in the world, at the Poles, on
water and even in the depths of the earth. Springtails take their
name from a special fork-shaped structure at the tip of their tails HARUN YAHYA

that normally curves forward over the body. The stem of the fork is
fixed by another structure. When the muscles rapidly propel this
fork backward, it strikes the ground and lets the insect make long
leaps and escape danger. It can even jump on water. Springtails are (ADNAN OKTAR)
of great use in breaking down and plowing the earth. They possess
