billions of dollars; they have caused motorways to collapse and have
stung people, causing allergic shocks that have rendered them helpless.
They have done all this with their powerful jaws, even digging tunnels
under roads causing motorways, roads to collapse and also causing oth-
er kinds of havoc in the environment.

Protection from Germs
American experts have tried various methods to prevent the above-
mentioned damage done by fire ants. They considered spreading a con-
tagious disease inside the colony by injecting germs into the flies the
ants eat. Yet, astonishingly, it was seen that such flies with germs in no
way hurt the ants. In the analysis it was found out that the ants have one
of the most interesting defence systems in the world of living beings: a
structure in their throats which protect them from germs… Because of
this structure, the bacteria in anything that the ants eat were held at the
throat without entering into the body.
But we have not come to the end of the protection systems of the
fire ants that are the product of a superior intellect. They also spurt an
anti-microbial fluid produced in their venom sacs around the nest and
on the larvae. Thus, they achieve total disinfection of the nest and the
larvae. 42
These ants, equipped as they are with an extraordinary defence sys-
tem, are certainly not aware of it. Can any person with a conscience
claim that such a system has evolved by chance? Neither may it be
claimed that the ants have founded such a system on their own. Then
who is it that placed this filter in the throats of the ants, and who in-
spired them to produce an anti-microbial fluid? Without doubt, the
Creator of such characteristics as man, ants and random luck cannot pro-
duce is Allah, Who is All-Knowing.

Hard Working Ants
The defense specialist fire ants are also highly skilled and hard work-
ing. They may build hills 30 cm high and 60 cm wide, or they can dig
labyrinthine tunnels that can go 1.5 m deep under ground. In certain ar-
eas, fire ants have built small hills numbering up to 350. The capacity of
such small beings to set up such huge nests, of course, depends on their
