should have unhesitatingly assumed that all its characters had been
slowly acquired through natural selection; namely, by individuals hav-
ing been born with slight profitable modifications, which were inherited
by the offspring, and that these again varied and again were selected, and
so onwards. But with the working ant we have an insect differing great-
ly from its parents, yet absolutely sterile; so that it could never have
transmitted successively acquired modifications of structure or instinct

to its progeny. It may well be asked how it is possible to reconcile this
case with the theory of natural selection? 8
As with the ants that Darwin mentions in the above quotation, so
it is with termites: all the workers are infertile. Evolutionists cannot ex-
plain this phenomenon.
It's of course possible for an infertile creature to develop certain
characteristics, learn useful behavior patterns and acquire experience
in the course of its life—but this is of no value for the theory of evolu-

tion. Ali Demirsoy, an evolutionist professor, comments on this matter:
. . . As we said earlier, the fact that an individual may survive success-
fully does not say very much from the evolutionary point of view. The
important thing is to produce many offspring thereby contributing
genes to the gene pool. No matter how long an individual lives, if they
[sic] do not produce offspring, they are
unimportant from the point of view of ev-
olution. For this reason, the death of

these individuals is called "genetic
death." 9
"Genetic death" means the end of the
generation of that creature. But worker
termites have survived millions of years
without changes and have been able to
perpetuate their existence even though
they are barren. These facts belie all the
