nates the film: "It can be seen that the arthropods possessed an un-
believable evolutionary and developmental ability."
This, as we have made clear above, is the equivalent of saying
that computers possess an unbelievable evolutionary ability. The
only fact underlying this nonsense is the prejudice of the filmmak-
ers in the face of that truth that all living things were created.
The Evolutionists' Spider Web Deception
Another important deception in the documentary concerns the
spider web. It is alleged that the web emerged later in evolution, to-
gether with baseless claims that spiders' desires to catch flying crea-
tures may have been influential in the web's origin.
It must first of all be made clear that, as has been explained
above, living things' "desires" cannot possibly cause them to acquire
new organs or physical attributes. No matter how much you and
your descendants "wish" to fly, no matter how much you make that
desire a part of your inner being, you will still never grow wings.
Living things' physical features are encoded in their genes, and no
"desire" can affect those genes. The style adopted by the documen-
tary as it ignores this fundamental truth is an odd, unscientific, and
fantastical one.
Moreover, someone who closely examines the spider's web can
clearly see that it is the work of design, not of "evolution by chance."
The spider's web is a substance that material scientists take as a
model. Weight for weight, it is five times more resistant than steel.
The production of steel bulletproof vests has been made possible by
imitating the spider's web. Furthermore, the spider's web exists as a
liquid inside the animal's body, undergoing a reaction as soon as it
meets the air and becoming stiff. The spider is thus capable of con-
suming its web whenever it wishes and storing it for subsequent use.
The way spiders spin their webs also rests on the most intelli-
gent techniques. They use trees or plants as props and build their
webs around them. Spinning concentric links that move in towards
