As shown in the picture above, honey pots that have been inflated by storing
food look like grapes.
Honey ants display behavior that the evolution theory cannot ex-
plain. It is totally illogical to maintain that they have developed the hon-
ey storage method and the organs required for it by chance. In fact, in
scientific sources, we meet many realistic statements on this and similar
subjects. Take, for instance, the explanation of Prof. Etienne Rabaud,
Director of the Institute of Biology of the Paris University:
These examples (for instance honey ants) show clearly that various or-
gans have not been developed for performing certain functions by the liv-
ing beings, although their prior existence has sometimes led to certain
acts and tasks to be performed and sometimes not. This shows that the
organs have not developed out of the adaptation by living beings to life
conditions, but life conditions have arisen out of prior existence of such
organs and out of their functions as we have seen. The following ques-
tion may be asked as Darwin did: Does the event of clearing, or weed-
ing out of one who loses the capacity to live, or the adaptation of organs
to new conditions take place in this evolution? We contend that events
have proven that such an evolution, or such a change, has not occurred.
In fact, a totally different phenomenon has taken place. 31
These explanations given by Professor Rabaud show us clearly a con-
clusion that anyone may arrive at by thinking with his conscience for just
a very short time. A sole Creator Who is the real source of knowledge
and intellect has created all living beings with their faultless organs and
perfect behaviour. This truth has been expressed in the Qur'an as fol-
lows:
He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Forms. To Him be-
