104 THE MIRACLE IN THE SPIDER
One Example of Perfect Creation
We know that spiders are "engineers," making webs, those wonders
of architecture and engineering. They are also killing machines, preparing
mechanical traps, capable of building nests under water, hunting their
prey with lassoos from their webs, capable of giving off chemical poisons,
holding on to a thread and jumping from hundreds of times their own
height, creating threads stronger than steel within their own bodies, and
camouflaging themselves for hunting. We come across further miracles
when we examine the structure of their bodies, alongside the properties
they possess.
There are many features in all spiders' bodies bearing witness to their
having been created, such as combs working like a weaving factory,
laboratories making chemical products, organs producing very strong
digestive properties, senses capable of perceiving the slightest vibration,
strong fangs capable of injecting venom, and so on. Considering all of
these properties, the spider gives the lie to the theory of evolution and
once again destroys such a derisory hypothesis as coincidence.
Let us examine the organs in the spider and their features.
For a spider to build a web like the one above, there must be combs functioning like
a weaving factory, a laboratory producing chemical materials, and many more
complex organs in its body. Spiders, which have all of these, without exception, and
the relevant characteristics, give the lie to the claims of evolution and bear witness
to God's perfect creation.
