                 Infertile Termites Contradict Darwin's Theory
                 of Evolution
                 Charles Darwin admitted that such complex behavior in some

            creatures is "by far the most special difficulty which my theory has en-
            countered." 7
                 Why is the activity of social insects "the most special difficulty"
            for the theory of evolution? To explain, we must examine the illogical-
            ity of the evolutionists' claims—an illogicality that they themselves of-
            ten admit.

                 Evolutionists claim that complex behavior such as termites dis-
            play has come about through the mechanism of natural selection. This
            amounts to the supposition that creatures learn certain behavior
            through experience. When, in time, this behavior proves to be good
            and advantageous for the species, it becomes adopted through the
            mechanism of natural selection. Later on, this same advantageous be-
            havior is inherited by later generations.
                 The following considerations show why these claims are untena-
            ble:

                 First of all, the behavior that many species display cannot be at-
            tributed to experience. For example, the first thing a newly-hatched
