Page 75 - The Miracle in the Ant

If there are three locks to the door and you have found not one but
three keys lying beside each other and all three keys have each opened
one of the locks, would you believe an allegation that these keys are
pieces of metal that fit the locks by chance? Furthermore, would you not
think that the person who makes such a claim either has mental prob-
lems or is trying to deceive you and hide something from you?
The logical result presented by this example is simple but very sig-
nificant: If there is a one-to-one fit between two independent pieces,
that is, all details of these two pieces are in perfect harmony, this proves
that there is a deliberate design somewhere. The key fits the lock be-
cause it has been consciously made by a skilled craftsman. A video cas-
sette goes into a video machine easily and sits in it perfectly because it
has been designed by a purposeful designer.
Looking at all these, the following general solution may be arrived at.
If there is harmony between two living beings which is realized by the
perfect fit of different organs, we can say that this harmony is clear proof
of conscious creation. Since the existing harmony indicates a conscious-
ness that may not be explained by chance and since the source of this
consciousness may not be these animals, it is inevitable that we accept
the existence of a conscious Creator Who "designs" these animals.
Now, we can re-enter the world of the ants by using this fundamen-
tal logic. Our subject in this chapter is certain living beings, who live to-
gether and show striking harmony with the ants.

Animals Who Live Together With the Ants
It has been known for over a century that many species of insects ex-
ist which live together with the ants and that there are symbiotic rela-
tions between them. Many of these do this as ransackers. The others live
as dependants for part or all of their lives in the ant colony. These par-
asitic visitors of ants include various insects, such as sacred beetles, ticks,
flies and wasps.
Some of these may live in the ant nests and benefit from all social
rights. In certain cases, the ants tolerate them, although they eat the lar-
vae and eggs of their hosts. They are not only admitted into the nest, but
their larvae are fed and raised as if they were the hosts’.
Well, why do the ants allow such aggression and how is it that these
