moths possessed a cooling system like the sphinx moths', they could
never survive. The physical difference between these two species of
moth may be compared to the difference in the air-conditioning sys-
tems produced for conditions in Arabia and Siberia.
Another species with an anatomy similar to that of the winter
moth is the tent caterpillar moth. In this species, the vein bend is in an
N form, the same as in the winter moth, but the descending branch is
not contiguous to the ascending one. This small difference affects the
tent caterpillar moth's heat retention ability and allows it to fly only
when the weather is warm.
Despite the presence of the same system in both animals' bodies, a
small difference gives rise to major changes. Both animals possess
bodily structures most ideally suited to the regions they live in—
which clearly refutes evolutionists' claims of chance emergence.
According to evolutionists, animals acquired these features by
means of blind chances, and one living species developed into an-
other. Just one of the features we've described in moths is sufficient to
show how irrational and illogical this claim is.
Random coincidence can never determine the shape assumed by a
moth vein. Furthermore, that coincidence would have to have been
present in all the winter moths that have ever lived—another aspect
that reveals the invalidity of evolutionists' claims.
By itself, no moth can analyze the problems it encounters, deduce
solutions to them and adapt its own anatomy accordingly. Moreover,
the design in moths constitutes a system in which all possibilities
have already been calculated.
No doubt there is a superior Creator Who has created not just the
moth but all living things and endowed them with the systems to
meet their needs. That Creator is God, Lord of the Worlds.
With the incomparable engineering designs He has created in the
