came into being. It is totally impossible for any chemical substance
that serves a specific purpose to arise by chance. Any error in the syn-
thesis of formic acid will mean that it loses its antibiotic properties,
and run the risk of harmful, poisonous substances being created.

That being so, it's most illogical to maintain that the ant synthe-
sized this substance on its own, or that the ant's body produces it by
chance. Leaving that aside, let's assume that formic acid's formula
emerged fully and complete. But this still changes nothing, because
there must be not only a system to produce the acid in the ant's body,
but also some system to protect the ant and keep the acid from doing
it any harm. This clearly reveals that, contrary to what evolutionists
would have us believe, the ant's glands could not have developed in
stages.
None of these creatures can carry out these procedures on their
own. The fact is that ants emerged suddenly, together with all their
characteristics. God, the Omniscient, created formic acid, the glands
to produce it, at the same time He created ants themselves.
It is also God Who inspires birds to visit ants' nests to make use of
their formic acid. God knows the needs of all living things and creates
the means with which they can be met. In one verse, it is revealed that
God surrounds and pervades all:

It is God Who created the seven heavens and of the Earth the
same number, the Command descending down through all of
them, so that you might know that God has power over all
things and that God encompasses all things in His knowledge.
