CREATURES WITH PRESSURE-RESISTANT
TISSUES
Another blood-sucker, the "assassin bug," also
known by the scientific name of Rhodnus prolixus,
possesses a most perfect pumping mechanism.
The insect's head is almost entirely composed of
cavities and muscles. Thanks to this design, the
insect is able to create a pressure differential be-
tween the two ends of its feeding tube. Due to
that difference, blood moves up the tube at 5 me- Rhodinius prolikxius
ters per second—a particularly fast speed that
would cause damage under normal conditions. Yet no damage is in-
flicted on the insect's feeding tube or any other tissue through which

A diagram of the electrical circuit of a detector controlling water levels, which contain a
great deal of information about where the electronic components are to be connected
to one another. The detector can work only if the plan is completely adhered to, in
every detail. If just one component is removed, or if you alter its connections, the ma-
chine cannot work. Similarly, the slightest deficiency in the mosquito's tension detect-
ors system will mean that its entire sucking system will fail to function. Thus,
mosquitoes could not have attained their present structure by a series of consecutive
stages. In a single action, God has created mosquitoes and all other living things per-
fectly, with all their present features.
