CHAPTER 16

THE FACT OF CREATION

n the previous sections of the book, we examined why the Theory of Evolution, which proposes that life

was not created, is a fallacy completely contrary to scientific facts. We saw that modern science has re-
I vealed a very explicit fact through certain branches of science such as paleontology, biochemistry, and
anatomy. This fact is that God creates all living beings.

In fact, to notice this fact one does not necessarily need to appeal to the complicated results obtained in bio-
chemistry laboratories or geological excavations. The signs of an extraordinary wisdom are discernible in
whatever living being one observes. There is a great technology and design in the body of an insect or a tiny
fish in the depths of the sea never attained by human beings. Some living beings which even do not have a
brain perfectly perform so complicated tasks as not to be accomplished even by human beings.

This great wisdom, design and plan that prevails overall in nature, provides solid evidence for the exis-
tence of a supreme Creator dominating over the whole of nature, and this Creator is God. God has furnished all
living beings with extraordinary features and showed men the evident signs of His existence and might.

In the following pages, we will examine only a few of the countless evidences of Creation in nature.

Honey Bees and the Architectural Wonders of Honeycombs

Bees produce more honey than they actually need and store it in honeycombs. The hexagonal structure of
the honeycomb is well-known to everyone. Have you ever wondered why bees construct hexagonal honey-
combs rather than octagonal, or pentagonal?
Mathematicians looking for answer to this question reached an interesting conclusion: "A hexagon is the

most appropriate geometric form for the maximum use of a
given area."
A hexagonal cell requires the minimum amount of
wax for construction while it stores the

maximum amount of honey. So the bee
uses the most appropriate form
possible.
The method

used in the
construc-
tion of the
honeycomb is also

very amazing: bees
