ed by bees. These species’ nectar lies deep down in the flower. Insects
seeking to pollinate these flowers must possess special organs in order to
reach these flowers’ internal regions. And of course, these insects must
also be able to see the color red. In other words, the insects that will polli-
nate these flowers need to
possess both a special
organ to allow them to
reach down into the
depths of the flower, and
eyes that can perceive the
color red. In nature, only
two species of insect can
perceive the color red—
wasps and butterflies, and
moreover, both these in-
sects possess a long pro-
boscis with which they
can reach down into the
deepest parts of the
flower. 90
It’s of course meaning-
less to try to account for
such harmony in terms of
blind chance. No random
coincidence can give two
different species of living
thing physical properties
so mutually compatible.
This harmony proves that
both were created by a sin-
gle Creator: God created
both to be mutually com-
patible. God has created a harmonious union between bees and
flowers.
